Question
How to treat anorexia caused by pediatric iron deficiency anemia?
Answer
The primary cause of pediatric iron deficiency anemia is insufficient iron intake or excessive loss. For cases of mild anemia caused by malnutrition, dietary adjustments can improve the condition. Foods rich in iron include black fungus, seaweed, animal blood and liver, as well as meats, beans, eggs, and green leafy vegetables. For moderate to severe cases of anemia or when dietary adjustments are ineffective, medication treatment may be required. Parents should avoid purchasing advertised medications and should follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
