Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Frequent sun exposure can help supplement vitamin D. Insufficient outdoor activity and lack of sunlight during childhood can lead to inadequate synthesis of vitamin D in the body, resulting in symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. In such cases, supplementary treatment with appropriate doses of vitamin D for children can be administered to alleviate their symptoms.
