Question
Experts, how should children’s anemia be treated? Do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answer
Childhood anemia is a common pediatric syndrome. In modern society, parents’ excessive pampering of their children may lead to picky eating, developing habits of snacking and irregular meals, which can result in a lack of iron in the diet and affect the normal growth and development of children. Additionally, certain parasitic diseases, such as hookworm infection, may also cause childhood anemia. To prevent and treat childhood anemia, parents should cultivate good dietary habits in their children, avoid picky eating and snacking, eat more vegetables and fruits, and encourage them to consume animal products rich in iron, such as pork, liver, and kidneys, to improve their hematopoietic function.
