Patient's question:
9 months and 11 days, height 72.6 cm, weight 10 kg. Hemoglobin 94. The mother also has anemia. Just stopped breastfeeding for 10 days. Should I go to the hospital for an examination? Is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
This consideration is due to moderate anemia, and it is essential to actively implement treatment to prevent the further progression of anemia. Iron-deficiency anemia can be managed through dietary supplements, increased physical activity, and maintaining a balanced diet. Animal liver, pig blood, and other foods can enhance iron absorption when mixed with plant-based foods. Alternatively, iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate oral liquid can be taken. It is also recommended to consume vitamin C concurrently to improve iron digestion and absorption.
