My child has been lacking iron since childhood. I would like to ask the doctor what preventive measures and treatment methods are available for pediatric iron deficiency anemia?Doctor's answer:
Children are prone to experience this iron-deficiency anemia again, which is mainly related to their diet. It is important to enhance their nutrition and consume more foods rich in iron, such as animal liver and lean meat. The food should be balanced and diverse, avoiding picky eating. When cooking, use an iron pot. In terms of treatment, dietary management is key, in addition to medication. The medications include ferrous sulfate sustained-release tablets and vitamin C. It is also necessary to adequately supplement vitamin B12.
