Question
What should be done to reasonably supplement iron deficiency anemia in children?
Answer
For the supplementation of iron deficiency anemia in children, it is recommended to combine food supplementation with medication. In terms of diet, it is encouraged to consume foods rich in iron, such as black fungus, seaweed, hair-like seaweed, mustard greens, black sesame, lotus root starch, red jujube, poria cocos, ejiao, black rice, and black beans. These foods not only supplement iron but also help in nourishing the Qi and blood. In addition, medication supplementation is necessary, especially the third-generation protein zinc new Xibao tablet, which has a low protein zinc content that is comparable to the zinc content in food, ensuring high safety with no side effects and is suitable for taking before meals. This dual approach can more comprehensively and promptly supplement iron, yielding the best results for improving the condition of iron deficiency anemia in children.
