Patient's question:
The baby in my aunt's family has been born for over a month. The day before yesterday, when I went to visit the child, I found that the child was crying and fussing non-stop, with a bluish-purple complexion. Then, I took them to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said they had iron deficiency anemia. What is iron deficiency anemia?Doctor's answer:
Crying is an expression of infants. Newborns do not use language to express their needs. Crying is their language. When babies cannot communicate with the outside world through language, gestures, or other means, crying is the only way they can express their needs. If a child cries intensely, it can affect hemodynamics and oxygenation function, manifesting as cyanosis of the skin. It is necessary to comfort the child promptly. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to go to a regular professional hospital for a detailed examination and treatment.
