Patient's question:
How is iron deficiency anemia treated? The child has had this condition for a long time, and I am very worried, afraid it will worsen. Please give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
The principle of treating iron-deficiency anemia is to eliminate the cause and replenish iron stores. In infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant women with nutritional deficiencies, iron-deficiency anemia may occur, and dietary improvement should be implemented. If iron-deficiency anemia is caused by excessive menstrual bleeding, long-term iron supplementation may be necessary, and it is advisable to consult a gynecologist for menstrual regulation. If iron-deficiency anemia is caused by parasitic infection, deworming treatment should be administered. For chronic blood loss due to malignant tumors, treatment of the primary disease must be carried out simultaneously. Consume more iron-rich foods, such as pork liver, etc.
