Patient's question:
Male, the child had black stools around 7 months of age and the doctor suspected intestinal bleeding. Later, he underwent a barium enema, chest X-ray, and ECT, which revealed no abnormalities. He then took herbal medicine and gradually his bowel movements returned to normal color. However, occasional occult blood was still present, and his hemoglobin continued to decline. The child remained in good spirits.Doctor's answer:
It's best to first check the cause of anemia before taking medication. If iron supplementation doesn't help, you should check for abnormal iron metabolism. Additionally, you can also use some small traditional Chinese medicine for blood replenishment.
