Hello, when a child shows symptoms of iron deficiency, they may experience decreased mental activity, pale complexion, and pale lips. There may also be impaired peripheral circulation (the nail bed turns white when pressed and returns to normal more slowly when released). Based on the pale complexion and lips you've described, it is currently possible that the child is anemic. It is recommended to have the child undergo a complete blood count to determine the type of anemia. Only iron-deficient anemia patients can take oral iron supplements (e.g., Tietzuoyuan). Additionally, it is advisable to include more pig blood in the child's diet (it is rich in trace elements and is particularly recommended by Mr. Tian, with very low cholesterol). Encourage the child to eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
