Talk to Pediatrician on Vitamin D Deficiency In 7-year-old Daughter - Daily Dosage Query

Current vitamin D level: 14.1 Age: 7 years Weight: 15 kg Initial suggested dosage: 20,000 IU

Dear Doctor,

My 7-year-old daughter, weight 15 kg, has been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, with a level of 14.1. Our pediatrician initially suggested a single dose of 20,000 IU, but my daughter is not tolerating high doses well getting stomach upset, Diarrhea and mouth sore

Could you please recommend a suitable daily dosage of vitamin D that can help achieve the target levels without causing any adverse effects? Specifically, I'd like to know:

1. Daily dosage What is a safe and effective daily dose of vitamin D for my daughter, considering her weight and deficiency level?

2. Brand recommendation Are there any reputable brands that you would recommend for vitamin D supplements for children?

3. Duration How long would my daughter need to take the daily dosage to achieve the target vitamin D levels

Looking forward to your expert advice.

Thank you!
