Patient's question:
The child was just born and doesn't know what's wrong, but there are always red spots on their body, and they are also spitting up milk. What should be done about infant iron deficiency anemia?Doctor's answer:
First, if a child has iron deficiency anemia and the main cause is considered to be due to factors such as a lack of meat in their diet, leading to a low intake of iron-rich foods and poor nutrition. If the symptoms are mild, it is recommended to let the child consume more iron-rich foods, such as animal organs and spinach, to supplement iron and treat the condition. However, if symptoms such as dizziness and headaches become apparent, it may be necessary to take oral dextran iron for iron supplementation and treatment.
