Patient's question:
The baby has just been born for a short time. The child is naturally quite thin and small. In recent days, the child hasn't been drinking milk much, and their mental state isn't very good, which makes me very worried. I don't know if this situation indicates anemia. I would like to know what are the symptoms of infant anemia?Doctor's answer:
If an infant experiences anemia again, generally the symptoms are related to the extent of their training. Usually, it will again manifest as pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, and sometimes it may be accompanied by jaundice. If the anemia persists for a long time, the child may again exhibit symptoms such as fatigue, dry hair, malnutrition, and delayed physical development. Especially in infants, there may also be recurrent enlargement of the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
