Patient's question:
Just checked carefully and found iron deficiency anemia. Previously, I had also checked but didn't notice it. About the past treatment and its effectiveness, the doctor prescribed Pudilan oral liquid and didn't prescribe any other medicine. I'm very worried about what medicine to use.Doctor's answer:
Your child has been diagnosed with nutritional iron deficiency anemia, and the treatment for this condition involves taking iron supplements. You can take divalent iron salt preparations, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, etc.Did you say the oral liquid is an anti-inflammatory medicine? This medicine is used to clear heat, detoxify, and reduce inflammation and swelling.
If your diagnosis is iron deficiency anemia, it is recommended that you take iron supplements for treatment. Additionally, it is important to follow up regularly while taking the medication. Once your hemoglobin returns to normal, you should continue taking the iron supplements for 6 to 8 weeks.
Moreover, it is best to take iron supplements between meals, and taking vitamin C simultaneously can enhance iron absorption.
