Low Vitamin D and High Uric Acid

I was on intermittent fasting in February, I ate only one time a day. In March I wasn't feeling well so consulted the doctor, he asked me to do certain blood tests. In these tests I found that I have Vitamin D deficiency with value of 5.3 only so I was asked to take Neuro D3 once a week for the next 18 weeks. Also, I have high uric acid with value 7.3 so I visited a nephrologist and he asked me to consume Febuxostat Tablet(Febutaz 40) for 15 days. I was worried seeing the side affects of Febutaz tablet, I wanted to know if it is safe to take it for 15 days Also, I am a vegetarian and following a healthy diet and exercising regularly after knowing that my uric acid was high

Recurrent UTI

My daughter is 2 years 9 months. When she was 1 year and 10 months she got her first UTI. Then she got it again after 4 months then 6 months. And she got it again now. Colony count says it's escherichia coli 10^5cf u/ml I have got her ultrasound done when she got it first time and it was all clear. Her stool is slightly hard and she has habit of holding urine. Even if I would take her to toilet she won't do and would want to finish it as soon as possible every time. But can that cause UTI so many times. What could be the reason? I m so worried please help Thank u
