A. A Vitamin D3 level of 38 nmol/L (or around 15 ng/mL, depending on the units) is considered low for children and needs supplementation. However, it’s important to consult your pediatrician for the exact dosage based on your child’s weight and medical condition. Generally, doctors recommend: Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) supplements – usually in the form of drops, chewable tablets, or sachets. A typical dose might be 600 to 1000 IU daily, or sometimes a weekly high-dose regimen (like 60,000 IU once weekly for 6–8 weeks) under medical supervision. Encourage sunlight exposure for at least 15–20 minutes a day on bare skin (face, arms). Include Vitamin D-rich foods like fortified milk, eggs, fish (like salmon), and fortified cereals. Please avoid giving high doses without your doctor’s approval, as excess Vitamin D can be harmful.
