Dr. Wang Lei
Patients should take vitamin D orally under a doctor's guidance. If vitamin D levels do not improve after one month of oral supplementation, intramuscular injection may be administered under medical supervision. If deficiency is due to inadequate sun exposure or caused by calcium deficiency, treatment may include calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate. In daily life, patients should focus on improving nutrition, avoid picky eating, drink more bone broth, and spend more time outdoors in sunlight.
