Question
Hello, I would like to ask: My child has anemia, and I am very worried. This symptom has appeared repeatedly, and a check-up has been done. I hope the doctor can give some suggestions.
Answer
The main cause is iron deficiency and insufficient vitamin C, primarily through dietary supplementation: 1. Foods rich in iron include liver, animal blood (2-3 times a week), lean pork, beef, lamb, and one egg per day. You can also eat foods such as seaweed, kelp, and black fungus. 2. Foods rich in vitamin C include dark green leafy vegetables, chives, cilantro, celery, red dates, and fruits (such as peaches, bananas, pears, oranges, watermelons, and grapes). Ensure an adequate intake of vitamin C daily, mainly from vegetables. In addition, foods like fish, soybeans, mushrooms, sesame paste, and other blood-building foods recommended by traditional Chinese medicine should be consumed more frequently.
