Patient's question:
My one-year-old son was diagnosed with pneumonia and received two weeks of intravenous drips to recover. During this period, his face was always pale. Earlier, after a thorough examination, the doctor said he had anemia. Now, he is receiving anesthetic B12. It's been three days since he started getting B12 injections, and tonight, lying in bed, my son's little face is flushed red, something I've never seen before. Hello, doctor, is it possible that the B12 is starting to work? How many days will he need to receive these injections? How should I supplement him in the future? My son always gets sick whenever he has anemia.What assistance I need: Please have the doctor reply as soon as possible.
Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:Good to know the specific hemoglobin. If it's mild, just dietary therapy is sufficient. Eat more iron-rich foods like pork liver, pig blood, lean meat, dairy products, beans, pork, apples, and green leafy vegetables. If it's moderate to severe, iron supplements can be added on the basis of dietary therapy.
Medical advice: Nutritional anemia is caused by a lack of essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, etc., needed for self-healing. It is generally caused by rapid growth in children. I don't know the cause of your baby's anemia. I suggest you go to the Hematology department, check the cause of the anemia, and treat it accordingly.
