Patient's question:
How can we determine if a child has anemia? Can medication be used? Is surgery necessary? Are there any effective methods? Does anyone have experience with this?Doctor's answer:
Children with anemia often exhibit pale complexion, lethargy, irritability, decreased appetite, or lack of interest in their surroundings, as well as poor memory. When suffering from nutritional iron-deficiency anemia, hemoglobin levels decline. Hemoglobin is the oxygen transport tool in the human body. Once a baby becomes anemic, the body starts to experience oxygen deprivation, leading to brain cell damage. Since the foundation of infant intellectual development is brain cell development, damaged brain cells can result in reduced fine motor skills and social abilities in the child.Because anemia affects a baby's growth and development, as well as impairing their intellectual and normal behavioral development, it is crucial to actively treat nutritional iron-deficiency anemia once it is diagnosed, until the child fully recovers.
