What should be checked to know if the child has anemia?

Patient's question:

What tests should I do at the hospital to find out if my child has anemia? How long does the treatment take to work? Please help me! Is there any good method? Please give me some advice from the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

My suggestion is that it's best to first go to the hospital for a blood test. If it's mild anemia, it's usually not a big deal in general. Just pay attention to your diet, supplement with iron, and try to take it with vitamin C together for better absorption. Iron can be supplemented, but don't take large amounts of it unilaterally. It's best to supplement it in a balanced way, otherwise it may lead to other nutritional deficiencies. Vitamin C can enhance iron absorption.
