Is it mild or severe anemia?

Patient's question:

Is it mild or severe anemia? This has been going on with the child for some time, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Mild anemia and severe anemia need to be diagnosed through a complete blood count. Anemia refers to a condition where the hemoglobin, red blood cell count, or hematocrit (packed cell volume) in circulating blood per unit volume is below the lower limit of normal values. These normal values can vary depending on different genders, ages, and altitudes of living regions. It is recommended to adjust the diet, take oral medication when necessary, and take vitamin C orally to promote iron absorption at the same time.
