Dear
If you are found to be vitamin D deficient then first you need to confirm whether the report is genuine from an authentic lab and whether your problems/complains/symptoms are related to vitamin D deficiency or not
Common group of people who are prone to have vitamin D deficiency are;
1. Breastfeeding mothers/child bearing age women
2. Inadequate exposure to sunlight daily
3. Then there are few diseases of glands and kidneys that can lead to vitamin D deficiency

In order to replace vitaminD these are the few steps to be taken
Exposure to sunlight for 15 minutes at least twice weekly (arms, face, hands and back must have exposure without sunscreen

Regarding your particular question;
You should use vitamin D injections (Indrop D) available in Pakistan at a dose of
1000 units by mouth daily till the time your vitamin D levels are normal and your symptoms have resolved. You have to check vitamin D levels again before you stop taking injections

Seafood and cows milk is also a good source of vitamin D that can be used

I understand you must be having problems because of vitamin D deficiency but need not to worry it is replaceable and all the symptoms will go
If you feel you can share your reports and problems with me on zero three three three five five eight two eight nine two (Watsapp) and further management of vitamin D deficiency please
Wish you health
Regards
