Daughter suffered from iron deficiency anemia at the age of 1 year and 11 months

Patient's question:

No obvious symptoms, no pica symptoms. The anterior fontanelle is not closed, approximately 0.50.5 cm! Iron and calcium supplementation were administered, but the effect was not significant!!!!

Doctor's answer:

The anterior fontanelle not closing is related to vitamin D deficiency, but not related to iron deficiency; if iron supplementation has been ongoing for half a year and anemia still exists, I believe it is necessary to further investigate the cause of anemia, rather than simply attributing it to iron deficiency anemia.
