Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
It's best to take the child to the hospital now to check the hemoglobin. If it's below 11 grams, they can take iron supplements. However, iron supplements should not be taken long-term, as they are not good for the stomach and intestines. I don't know the child's current weight. The standard weight for a child is generally: the child's age multiplied by two plus eight. It is recommended that parents take the child for a physical examination every six months and consult with a local doctor to see if the child has a problem with poor weight gain.
