Patient's question:
7-month-old child with severe anemia, should he/she not be hospitalized? The child has been in this condition for some time, and as parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
Of course, you should be hospitalized. How can you not allow a child to be hospitalized if you can't stay with them? Don't waste the best time for treatment. If it's severe anemia and the cause is unclear, it's best to be hospitalized. You will need blood transfusions, and it's best to receive them while hospitalized. Sometimes, the emergency intensive care unit can also be used, but it's still better to be hospitalized. It depends on the hospital's bed availability. Tertiary hospitals sometimes have tight bed situations, but other secondary hospitals can also be considered.
