Hello, I have deficiencies in both vitamin D and B12. When I take supplements, my levels improve, but if I stop the medicine even for a month, the levels drop again. Why does this happen, and what can I do to maintain normal vitamin levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Vitamin D and B12 levels drop after stopping supplements if diet and sunlight exposure are insufficient or absorption is poor (gastritis, IBS). After levels normalise, continue maintenance doses as advised by your doctor, take a balanced diet (milk, eggs, fish), and get sunlight for Vitamin D. If levels continue to drop, do Serum Calcium and Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Peripheral Smear to check absorption issues.

Take a CALCIUM - SERUM Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

View allHello Doctor, My baby is 11 months old and had a fever for the past week. We consulted a doctor and she took Amoxycillin for 5 days. For the last three days, there was no fever, but she still had cough and cold. Now the fever has returned with a temperature of 99F. For cold we are using Moticope drops, and for cough, Korafast drops. We did a blood test, and the results are normal. I am very worried about why the fever has returned. I am attaching the blood test report for reference.
