Patient's question:
How to treat anemia in children? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
The baby may have anemia due to factors such as a weak spleen and stomach, poor digestion, and picky eating habits. It is recommended that you take iron supplements under the guidance of a doctor, adjust the diet accordingly, and have regular follow-up checks after starting medication. Anemia can affect a child's growth and development, and iron deficiency can also lead to poor appetite, resulting in slow weight gain. Regular follow-up checks should be conducted after starting medication. Additionally, it is advisable to consume more iron-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, pig liver, black fungus, and spinach for better regulation.
