Talk to Pediatrician on Vitamin D Toxicity
Asking For Other, Female 2, Islamabad
Assalamualaikum! A senior pediatrician advised my 18 months old daughter a single dose of 200000iu (2lacs) because she sweats alot on his head. The dose was given without testing her VIT D levels. As two weeks have been passed today she started loose motion. Pls guide me whether such a high dose is safe for this age without testing or the current loose motion has anything to do with it's side effects. Your response will be highly appreciated.

Vit D dose has nothing to do with loose stools
there may be some other reason for this condition

Vitamin D toxicity can cause constipation not loose motion. You should test thyroid profile for excessive sweating

3-6 lac for one day we recommend in rickets. Daily RDA is 600iu. It will not harm any way
