Patient's question:
Boy, 16 months old, has been on medication for 12 days. Previously, he had a bowel movement every two days, but now he has 3 to 4 bowel movements a day.Doctor's answer:
Most children suffer from iron-deficiency anemia. It's common to supplement iron for children, such as animal liver, animal blood, egg yolks, jujubes, and lean rice porridge. You can also ask the doctor to prescribe iron supplements in the form of nutritional tablets. The most commonly used ones are Iron 360 tablets, which are specifically designed for children to supplement iron and trace elements. They have a good taste, so babies are more willing to eat them, and they don't irritate the stomach like other iron supplements. After taking them for about a month, the anemia can be significantly improved.
