Patient's question:
My baby has been born for a month. The baby is quite active, but recently I've noticed that the baby hasn't moved much and looks lethargic. Breathing is also a bit difficult. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's anemia. I'm wondering if anemia in premature infants can lead to hypoxia?Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, if anemia occurs, red blood cells are very low and prone to hypoxia, because red blood cells are carriers of oxygen, and symptoms such as hypoxia, loss of appetite, and fatigue are recommended for timely treatment. If the symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia belong to those of iron-deficiency anemia, it is recommended to supplement iron in a timely manner. If breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to a nutritious diet and eat more eggs, milk, lean meat, etc.
