Question 1

Hi Doctors, my 5 year old kid has been complaining of fibula pain for more than a year. Last January we did his blood test (CBC and Vitamin D3). We found vitamin D3 deficiency and CBC was ok except for a slightly elevated platelet count as he had cough at that time. We consulted a pediatrician and he told us that the kid will have pain due to vitamin D3 deficiency and nothing to worry. He gave some vitamin D3 medicine and it healed the pain, and he did not complain of pain until this month. He gets pain mostly at night after his outdoor activities like playing in the park. The pain lasts for 2 hours and he finds it difficult to walk, but the next morning he walks properly. Can you please suggest the treatment? Do we need to take him to the pediatrician again or to an orthopedic doctor? Please help.

Question 2

Hello Doctor. I have done a full body checkup including blood test, urine test, LFT, and vitamin D. I found my vitamin D level very low at 4.5 ng/ml. Should I go for further tests, or can you suggest some supplements? I have attached my report. One reason for low vitamin D is lack of sunlight exposure, which I will take care of now. Please suggest.

Question 3

Hello sir/mam, my age is 31 and today my report has come. My vitamin D is 6. Please suggest proper medication or other treatment?

Does taking Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 60,000 IU two weeks before a Vitamin D test affect the test results?
