Patient's question:
Yesterday, I took my son for a thorough physical examination. The doctor said my son has iron deficiency anemia in children. Doctor, how should we deal with iron deficiency anemia in children? What kind of food should we eat more?Doctor's answer:
Child iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia in infants and young children. Its fundamental cause of recurrence is iron deficiency in the body, leading to a microcytic hypochromic anemia where hemoglobin production is reduced. The treatment of child iron deficiency anemia is divided into etiological treatment and medication treatment. For etiological treatment, proper diet should be maintained, and iron-fortified foods should be provided. For medication treatment, actively cooperate with the doctor and take the medication as prescribed.
