Question
Parents inquire about how to administer Vitamin D3 injections to a 16-year-old child to promote bone development and height growth.
Answer
Doctors advise parents to avoid using Vitamin D3 injections and instead suggest supplementing Vitamin D through daily sun exposure and consuming foods rich in Vitamin D. Additionally, doctors recommend giving children foods high in calcium, such as millet and other grains, to promote bone health. If the child is not severely deficient in calcium, dietary supplementation is usually more appropriate than using medication.
