Patient's question:
Infant thalassemia and iron supplementation are good? Your child has been in this condition for a while, and you dare not give them medicine. Please ask the doctor for advice.Doctor's answer:
Normal, from 6 months to 3 years old, is a high-risk period for iron-deficiency anemia. If your baby's serum ferritin levels are low, you can rule out thalassemia. Additionally, mild anemia is recommended to be primarily addressed through dietary supplements. Children with iron deficiency should be encouraged to develop a non-picky eating habit, such as consuming more iron-rich foods like pork liver, jujubes, and egg yolks. If the condition is severe, it is still best to seek medical advice and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
