Patient's question:
My child has always eaten well and been very cooperative at meal times. They rarely get sick, but recently, they've been eating less and only a small amount at each meal, feeling full quickly. Additionally, they've caught colds several times lately. My colleague suggested that this might be due to a zinc deficiency.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of iron deficiency in children include dizziness and fatigue, pale or yellow complexion, poor concentration. Iron deficiency puts the child's body in a state of hypoxia, causing muscle weakness and fatigue. Iron deficiency also reduces stomach acid secretion and impairs fat absorption, weakening the child's digestive ability. Iron deficiency also affects intelligence and mood, so early prevention and treatment are essential. Children with iron deficiency can take Iron Supplement Tablets, which provide balanced iron supplementation with high absorption rates and a taste suitable for children. They can effectively and comprehensively improve iron deficiency symptoms. Drinking vitamin C juice after meals can enhance iron absorption. For children over six months old, dietary supplements can include liver and lean meat congee, egg yolks, and some iron-rich (rice flour). Drinking iron-rich dates juice is also beneficial.
