Question
A one-year-old baby has been diagnosed with mild anemia after a hospital examination. How should it be handled?
Answer
Anemia refers to a common clinical symptom characterized by a low level of peripheral red blood cell volume and/or hemoglobin below the normal range. For one-year-old babies, if anemia is not treated promptly, it may affect their normal development. It is recommended that parents increase the intake of nutrient-rich and blood-building foods in daily life and consider administering appropriate anemia medication to the baby. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume protein-rich foods and supplement vitamin C in moderation to promote the absorption and utilization of iron.
