Patient's question:
My son has fainted at school several times. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said he has iron deficiency anemia. I think it's because he doesn't eat enough meat. I want to ask the doctor what kind of diet he should follow to supplement iron deficiency anemia in children.Doctor's answer:
For patients with iron-deficiency anemia, the diet mainly focuses on eating more pork blood, consuming more meat, and moderately increasing the intake of beef and lamb. You can also stew some meat broth. Regular consumption of these foods helps gradually restore the blood. Additionally, you can use some Ejiao () cakes or jujubes with brown sugar for treatment. It's important to strive for dietary diversity.
