Question
What tests should I take at the hospital to determine if my child has anemia? How long does treatment take to heal? What are some effective methods? Please give me some advice from a doctor.
Answer
It’s best to start with a routine blood test at the hospital. In most cases, mild anemia is not a big concern, as long as you pay attention to diet, supplement iron, and try to take it with VC for better absorption. Iron can be supplemented, but don’t overdo it or supplement it unilaterally; it’s best to do so in a balanced manner, otherwise, it may lead to other nutritional deficiencies. VC can enhance the absorption of iron.
