Question
Pediatrics, how to deal with iron deficiency anemia in children?
Answer
Firstly, if a child has iron deficiency anemia, it’s important to consider the main reasons, such as insufficient intake of iron-rich foods, malnutrition, or other factors. For mild symptoms, it’s recommended to increase the consumption of iron-rich foods like animal organs and spinach to supplement iron. However, if there are more obvious symptoms like dizziness or headaches, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and possibly oral dextran iron supplements may be necessary for treatment.
