What should I do if my son has mild anemia?

Patient's question:

I feel that my child's mental state hasn't been very good recently, and their appetite is also very poor. They often show signs of food aversion when eating. They always feel very tired, and now I've realized that she has symptoms of anemia. The child has mild anemia.

Doctor's answer:

Check the complete blood count to see if the platelet count is low due to purpura. The child's condition may be related to insufficient coagulation function, so it is recommended to check the coagulation function. If the complete blood count shows abnormally high white blood cell count, while both red blood cells and platelets are abnormally low, it could be leukemia. The small lumps on the neck lymph nodes may not necessarily indicate a problem. If these lumps are soft, mobile, painless, and have clear boundaries, they are normal lymph nodes. It is recommended to check them clearly.
