A. Nine is a very average level and the doctor is correct you should have actually kept your child into indirect sunlight from the beginning only that helps a lot and reducing down the levels but yet as of now also if you do it twice in a day it will automatically show us significant change for good that’s the only treatment and start with the vitamin D supplement
