Question : My baby is almost 5 months and I was still feeling tired, weak, heel pain etc. Recently I took a blood test and it says "Severely deficient of Vitamin D". Also Vitamin B is just to the average. Should I consult my gynecologist or general physician?

Brief Answer: physician Detailed Answer: Hi Deficiency of vitamin B and D is likely to cause these symptoms. You need to take vit. D capsules along with calcium. You also need to take vitcofol injections along with vit. B complex tablets. You need to see a physician for getting prescription for the above. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I consulted a physician and he has given the below dose. Drise tablet - 1 0 0 Complete TD - 0 0 1 Already I am taking, CCM - 0 1 0 Livogen - 0 0 1 Is this fine to go ahead? And sunlight between morning 7-8. Sunlight around 11 am doesn't have vit D?

Brief Answer: yes Detailed Answer: Hi These medicines are good enough. You can continue. Sun exposure is also important. Sunlight in early morning helps in generating vit. D without causing side effects like sunstroke and dehydration. So morning sunlight is better. Regards
