Patient's question:
The child has infantile spasms. They checked the trace elements and found iron deficiency. The medicine they are taking, is it okay?Doctor's answer:
This is mainly for digesting anemia. If the baby has iron-deficiency anemia or hemoglobin is below 90, then oral supplemental liquid should be considered. For mild anemia, generally enhancing nutrition is sufficient. However, infantile spasms and iron deficiency are unrelated, and it may also be caused by calcium deficiency. In this case, oral gluconate calcium liquid should be taken mainly for digestion. Infantile spasms have a significant impact on the child, so it is recommended that the family takes the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digesting vitamins and preventing stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
