Patient's question:
The baby just turned one month old, and hesitated because it was a premature infant. It has been artificially fed all along. Recently, the child caught a cold and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results showed that the child's hemoglobin level had increased. I would like to ask a few questions: what is going on, what could be the cause, and what kind of assistance is needed: how to prevent and treat it?Doctor's answer:
A newborn baby who has just completed a full moon suddenly has a rapidly rising hemoglobin level, and it may be necessary to check if the child is experiencing hemorrhagic anemia. It is common for newborns to receive another dose of anemia medication. At one month old, newborns are often in the physiological anemia phase, which is not necessarily pathological. This is due to the rapid growth and development of the baby, while the reserves of raw materials for hemoglobin production in the body are insufficient. Follow the doctor's advice for a recheck in two weeks and closely monitor the situation. Parents do not need to worry too much.
