Patient's question:
My daughter went for a physical examination today. She said she is deficient in vitamin D. What should she eat? What are the effects of vitamin D on humans?Doctor's answer:
The main function of vitamin D is to promote the absorption of calcium in the human intestine. Advice: If children lack vitamin D, it can lead to calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency in children may manifest as night sweats, bruxism, leg cramps, and delayed development. It is recommended that you give the child oral Ikun (containing vitamin D) as medication. Foods rich in vitamin D include liver, milk, and egg yolks. Additionally, it is recommended that children get more sun exposure to increase their own synthesis of vitamin D, thereby promoting the absorption of calcium from food in the intestine.
