Patient's question:
Hello, will the Hb value of thalassemia continue to decrease? Is there any good method of treatment? Please give some advice to the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Anemia is a relatively common pediatric syndrome. In modern society, parents' indulgence and overprotection of their children can easily lead to picky eating in children, fostering bad habits such as a preference for snacks and irregular meals, resulting in a deficiency of iron and hindering normal growth and development. Alternatively, certain parasitic diseases, such as hookworm infection, can also cause children to develop anemia. You can take your child to the hospital for a blood test to determine if they have anemia and the extent of it. Then, based on the situation, you can decide to use iron supplements such as ferrous fumarate or ferrous gluconate. In terms of diet, avoid picky eating, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, fish, meat, and liver. Engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen the body.
