Patient's question:
Iron deficiency anemia, fontanelle closure delay, sparse hair at the back of the headDoctor's answer:
Pay attention to dietary combinations, such as pairing meat and vegetables, which helps with iron absorption. For mild cases, simply improving the diet can lead to recovery. For more significant anemia, in addition to dietary improvements, iron supplements, vitamin C, vitamin B12, or folic acid can be used for treatment until the anemia is fully corrected, followed by 1-3 months of maintenance. Oral iron supplements are best taken between meals, along with vitamin C, to enhance iron absorption.
