Patient's question:
My daughter is a bit anemic and has lost a lot of weight. I don't know if the anemia is causing insufficient blood supply, leading to leg pain, and she doesn't want to eat dinner. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child has anemia and is severely malnourished. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up, get a blood test, and choose medication based on the severity of the anemia. If it's mild anemia, dietary supplements can be used. For moderate anemia, iron-containing medication should be taken. Anemia can cause the child to feel tired and weak, and it may also lead to leg pain. Additionally, if the child is deficient in calcium or potassium, they may also experience fatigue and leg pain.
