Is the pale lips of a child a symptom of illness?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you notice that the baby's lips are pale, it is simply congenital anemia. The causes and treatments are very complex. The causes include, iron deficiency anemia. Most infant anemia is due to iron deficiency. If it is iron deficiency, supplement with iron according to medical advice. To determine if the child is iron deficient, a blood test for trace elements can be done. When supplementing with iron, you can also eat some foods rich in vitamin C, which can promote iron absorption.
