Patient's question:
Hello, how to treat anemia in a one-year-old child? Are there any good methods for treatment? Please give some advice.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to identify the cause of anemia, that is, what type of anemia it is. The most common type of anemia in one-year-old babies is nutritional anemia, which is divided into macrocytic anemia and microcytic anemia. Macrocytic anemia is caused by iron deficiency, while microcytic anemia is caused by a lack of folic acid and vitamin B12. If the anemia is due to iron deficiency, oral ferrous succinate and ferrous gluconate, or ferrous sucrose can be taken. If the anemia is caused by a lack of folic acid and B12, folic acid and vitamin B12 can be taken orally, or oral Lysine Adenosylmethionine Vitamin B12 oral liquid can be used.
