Question
Will the hemoglobin level in thalassemia continue to decrease? What are the treatment methods?
Answer
Anemia is a common pediatric syndrome that can be caused by various factors, including malnutrition, iron deficiency, and parasitic diseases. It is recommended to first undergo a blood test at the hospital to determine the severity of the anemia. Depending on the situation, iron supplements such as ferrous fumarate or ferrous gluconate can be considered, along with improving dietary habits, including eating more vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, fish, and meats. Appropriate exercise can also help to strengthen the body’s constitution.
