Patient's question:
Pale complexion, not drinking well, now constantly nursing, spirits are okay, deep sleep is also good for a month now. How to treat infant iron deficiency anemia with poor appetite?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of iron-deficiency anemia in children are increased physiological demand, iron deficiency in the diet, excessive iron loss, and other factors, such as iron-deficiency anemia during maternal pregnancy or chronic nausea and vomiting in children. If the child's iron-deficiency anemia is due to improper feeding and the anemia is mild, it can be corrected through dietary therapy. Foods richest in iron include black fungus, kelp, animal blood and liver, followed by meat, beans, eggs, and green leafy vegetables. Dairy products contain less iron. Children suffering from iron-deficiency anemia should be taken to a doctor for immediate treatment by their parents to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs and to ensure proper medication.
