Question

A few days ago, I took my nephew to the hospital for a physical check-up, and the doctor said he has Vitamin B2 deficiency. What does this mean? Can a lack of Vitamin B2 cause illness? Our diets are the same; why would he be deficient? What are the treatment methods?

Answer

Vitamin B2 Deficiency often presents with symptoms such as oral ulcers, oral inflammation, or geographic tongue. The main treatment method is to take oral vitamin B complex and increase the intake of foods rich in B vitamins. It is advisable to consume fresh fruits and vegetables regularly to prevent deficiencies.
