Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
You can consider a single dose if 60,000 units of vitamin d.
Later every day 2000 units if vitamin d and calcium supplements is good enough.
You should also consider as diet rich in vitamins like eggs milk. and green vegetables.
Try tablet paracetamol or the pain.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks
