Brief Answer:
Start Cholecalciferol.

Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Well your Vitamin D levels are quite low and need to be started on Vitamin D supplements . I recommend you to get a prescription for Tab Cholecalciferol 60000 International Units weekly once for 3 months.

Also increase your exposure to bright sunlight.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
