Patient's question:
The child is 12 months old. A blood test revealed iron deficiency anemia. The child also sweats a lot while sleeping. I don't know what they might be lacking?Doctor's answer:
First, consider the relationship with calcium deficiency, diabetes, or thyroid disease. First, it is recommended to adjust the indoor temperature and humidity, clothes should not be too thick, children should drink warm water, eat light food, and avoid spicy foods. Calcium can be supplemented according to the doctor's instructions. If you sweat after sleep and the amount of sweat is relatively large, it may be a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, partly due to calcium deficiency. It is best to take the child to the hospital for blood tests, blood sugar, and thyroid hormone levels.
