Patient's question:
What should children eat if they have anemia? Do they need to be treated in the hospital? How long does it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
First, it should be clear what is causing the child's anemia. Only by identifying the cause can the correct treatment method be adopted. For mild anemia, if there are no organic diseases, dietary adjustments can be made, such as supplementing with foods rich in iron. While adding egg yolks, you can also increase animal blood from chickens, ducks, pigs, etc., as well as iron-rich and easily absorbable foods like minced lean meat, fish paste, pork liver paste, and chicken liver paste. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, citric acid, and malic acid. These organic acids can form complexes with iron, thereby increasing its solubility in the intestines and facilitating iron absorption. Consume more iron-rich foods, such as: egg yolks, kelp, laver, black fungus, pork liver, longan, and pork blood.
