Patient's question:
When the baby was born, the doctor said the baby had anemia, which made me very anxious. My wife was also very worried, fearing something was wrong with the baby. Please ask how should the treatment for newborn anemia be carried out?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of anemia in newborns, it is first necessary to determine which type of anemia it is, and blood tests should also be conducted to check blood routine and hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia can be supplemented with food to increase children's exercise, and maintaining a balanced diet is the best prescription. Mixed animal and plant foods can increase iron absorption. Ferrous sulfate can also be used for oral iron supplements, etc. Vitamin C should also be taken to promote iron absorption. Physiological anemia occurs due to the depletion of iron in the mother's body, which results in anemia as a biological anemia, and it is usually not treated. Thalassemia is one of the common hereditary diseases in southern China. At least one parent is mildly anemic and basically has no symptoms and will not develop.
