Patient's question:
My child is two years old this year and is still breastfeeding. A few days ago, he caught a cold and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said the child has anemia and prescribed Decavita Multivitamin Oral Liquid. I would like to ask if this medication is effective for anemia and how a two-year-old should take it?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, it is not advisable to supplement with trace elements during a baby's cold. You can treat anemia after the baby recovers from the cold. If it is iron-deficiency anemia, iron supplements can be taken. Decavite Multivitamin Oral Liquid not only supplements iron but also provides zinc and vitamins.Suggestions:
1. Hello, if the baby has mild iron-deficiency anemia, it can be taken after the baby recovers from the cold. It not only supplements iron but also provides vitamins.
2. If the anemia is more severe, it is recommended to take iron supplements alone. You can give the baby ferrous fumarate granules or children's glucose syrup, both of which are suitable.
3. Generally, for anemia treatment, it is recommended to recheck blood tests after one month to evaluate the treatment effect and then decide whether to continue taking it and adjust the dosage based on the results. Wishing the baby healthy growth~
