After Vitamin D s cold prevention myth was broken, is there another study that can save otitis media?

I saw this article in a mom group saying that vitamin D can reduce respiratory infections in young babies, and some mothers allow children to replenish vitamin D agents. I have bought your book and read the articles on the website before. I know that additional supplements are not needed, and I am worried that some mothers have bought unnecessary things without enough knowledge. This is the 2017 article "Huang Dianying: Vitamin D saves repeated otitis media and rhinitis? 》, also written by a young doctor who is famous in the mother circle. I would like to ask you what you think here. Thank you

Okay, I'm here to discuss this article now. First of all, please pay attention to the question in the title of this article. Its meaning is clearly that the author cannot determine whether vitamin D can really save otitis media. Next, please read the most important passage in this article:

After a comprehensive research statistical study, British students found that adults who take vitamin D orally can reduce the chance of colds by 36%. A small double-blind test in Italy in 2013 also found that children who supplement vitamin D with 1,000 units (IU) daily can significantly reduce the development of otitis media after about four months. There are also many small experiments with similar results, but the dose of vitamin D used in each study is different and the time points are also different. So it is difficult for doctors to make a conclusion and tell children with repeated otitis media and rhinitis how much do they need to use to prevent vitamin D.

Regarding the reduction of cold chances by taking oral vitamin D, I published "Can vitamin D prevent colds and flu? 》 has been certified to show that it is an indirect conclusion obtained by human operations. I also said at the end of the article: "You must still remember the story of vitamin C. It has been popular in hot places for decades, isn't it? What about now? Does anyone believe that it can prevent colds? If C loses it, just change D. Anyway, the wind and water flow will turn, and it may be a year to turn to Z."

As for otitis media, please pay attention to the "small test" and "it's still difficult to make a conclusion" in the passage of Dr. Huang. In other words, the test is not qualified at all. It is recommended to take vitamin D orally.

In fact, the word vitamin does not appear in the treatment guide for otitis media. Also, I searched for all American medical institutions that provide medical information on otitis media, such as Harvard University, Stanford University, American Primary School of Science and other institutions, and I didn't see the word Vitamin at all.

So, do you believe that oral vitamin D can "save" otitis media?
