18.5 mg/ml indicates deficiency of vitamin d.You can use calcirol or d-rise sachet 60000 iu weekly once for 10-12 weeks along with calcium supplement daily.Exposure to sunlight for 20-30 minutes in the morning,milk and other dairy products, eggs and codliver oil capsules are very rich source of vitamin d .
