How to determine if a child has anemia

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, anemia is a condition where the number of red blood cells and the content of hemoglobin in a unit volume of blood are lower than normal. In infants and young children, anemia is mainly caused by a chain reaction resulting from maternal anemia, leading to insufficient supply of hematopoietic substances absorbed from the mother, severely affecting physical and intellectual development, and causing symptoms such as poor appetite, picky eating, and reduced resistance to various infections.
Recommendations: The face is slightly yellow, and the color of the hands is also pale. This condition may be caused by anemia. It is recommended to have a blood routine examination in the hospital. If the hemoglobin is lower than 110 g/L, further examination should be conducted for a definitive diagnosis. It is possible to visit the hospital for a follow-up check-up every one or two months. If the results remain below normal after multiple tests, it is necessary to determine the cause of the anemia.
