Question

The child has a low proportion of granulocytes and red blood cell mean corpuscular volume, and a high proportion of lymphocytes. Parents are worried about the possibility of anemia and seek medical advice.

Answer

Anemia is a common symptom during childhood, and as children grow, the iron in the mother’s body may not be sufficient to meet their needs. If anemia is caused by iron deficiency, it may affect the child’s health. It is recommended to increase the intake of iron-rich foods such as red dates, adzuki beans, honey, peanuts, etc., to supplement iron. As for the possibility of leukemia, there is currently no risk. Parents should continue to monitor their child’s health status and seek professional medical assistance when necessary.
