What should I do if my baby has anemia and calcium deficiency?

Patient's question:

My son is 2 years old this year. Today, he had a trace element check-up. The doctor said he has anemia and calcium deficiency. What should be done about the calcium deficiency?

Doctor's answer:

Your situation is as follows: Is the baby breastfed or formula-fed? If the baby has anemia, oral ferrous sulfate granules can be given. Gradually increase supplementary foods such as liver mud and egg yolks. If the baby is calcium-deficient, calcium supplements can be taken orally. Get more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption. Regular follow-up is recommended. Wish the baby good health. It is recommended to supplement with vitamin D, get more sun exposure, and add more supplementary foods to boost iron intake. Encourage the baby to engage in outdoor activities more often.
