Patient's question:
Not feeling well, but no significant change in weight. Last month's treatment and effectiveness: The child was taking medication and couldn't eat anything. What kind of dietary supplements should be implemented? Currently breastfeeding, what should adults take?Doctor's answer:
Infant anemia is generally iron-deficiency anemia. The baby may again appear pale in the skin and mucosa, reduced appetite, and other symptoms. Foods high in iron include liver (mashed), peaches (juiced), lean meat, spinach (I vaguely remember blanching it with water to avoid interfering with calcium absorption), mushrooms, honey, and beans, etc. If the baby's iron deficiency is severe, iron supplements can be taken directly to aid digestion. At the same time, the mother should also eat more iron-rich foods, and the baby can also absorb a lot of iron from breast milk.Infant iron-deficiency anemia can be quite harmful to children. It is recommended that family members take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for treatment.
