Question
My child has iron deficiency anemia, and we are all very unhappy and heartbroken to see them. I would like to know what should be supplemented for iron deficiency anemia?
Answer
Iron deficiency anemia is quite common, especially among children. You can consume iron-rich foods such as jujube, animal liver, and spinach. However, it is recommended to first have your child’s hemoglobin levels checked at the hospital. If the anemia is moderate or severe, medication treatment is needed, such as oral iron supplements, which are specifically designed to stabilize iron deficiency anemia.
