Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that she has could be due to allergy to the Vitamin D3. You can ask her physician to prescribe her another brand or use injectable form of the vitamin to help her. She can also take Vitamin D3 rich foods and sit in the sun to get the Vitamin naturally.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
