Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. How high is the incidence of iron deficiency anemia in children?Doctor's answer:
For children in the growth and development period, the probability of developing iron deficiency anemia is very high, generally below 50%. This is because children require a significant amount of energy during their growth and development. Under these circumstances, the body's absorption of nutrients can easily fall behind the demands of physical growth and development. At this time, the levels of various nutrients in the body are rising, making it easy to develop iron deficiency anemia. As long as the hemoglobin level is above 10 grams, the impact on the body is not significant.
