Patient's question:
How long does it take to recover from treatment? Please help me! What should children with anemia eat? Is there any good method? Please give me some advice from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Mainly oral iron supplements. Dietary iron can be obtained from lean meat, liver, blood, etc. Children grow rapidly, and their blood volume increases quickly. Generally, infants use stored iron to maintain their iron levels, so there is no need to add iron to their diet. However, if iron-deficiency anemia occurs before they double their birth weight, it is usually not caused by iron deficiency in the diet. In this case, dietary improvement and nutritional supplementation should be strengthened, and the treatment method should be selected based on the severity of the anemia.
