Patient's question:
Hello, my child is four years old, but his hemoglobin is low, low hemoglobin.Doctor's answer:
First, it should be determined whether it is iron deficiency anemia or macrocytic anemia. You can eat more animal blood (such as pig blood, duck blood, and chicken blood) and check again after a few months to see if it improves. You can look at the MCV [mean corpuscular volume] on the blood test report; its normal range is 82--94. If it is below 82, it is microcytic anemia [iron deficiency anemia], and iron supplements or animal liver can be taken. If it is above 94, it is macrocytic anemia, and folic acid and vitamin B12 should be supplemented. It is recommended to check clearly before treatment for better results.
