Vit D is to be got naturally from sun.
Give her good food,plenty of vegetables,fruits,milk,milkproducts,greengram sprouts everyday.
Allow her to stroll around from6 am to 7 am in and around a garden,ur terrace,.park.Even swimming,badminton,throwball Any sports can be played.
Avoid fastfoods,bakeryfoods,stored foods.

Hello.
Please continue zincovit syrup. Vitamin D supplements should not be given until a blood test is done to confirm a deficiency.
Include fresh fruits and raw vegetables, add milk and milk products, dry fruits, dates, desi ghee and ensure 10 minutes of sunlight exposure (balcony/veranda/window), preferably around 10am.
You can include simple exercises at home itself - dance/skipping/ aerobics in order to keep her active.
Next Steps
Consult on practo for further advice
