Question
What could be the causes of a child’s yellowish complexion? If there are related symptoms, could it be related to anemia? How should one check and treat it?
Answer
Possible causes of a child’s yellowish complexion include anemia, jaundice, or other endocrine disorders. If a child exhibits symptoms such as a yellowish complexion, lack of energy, insomnia, palpitations, etc., it is advisable for parents to take their child for a blood routine check to determine if it is caused by anemia. In the case of anemia, treatment can be administered through oral gluconate ferrous and vitamin C supplements, along with an emphasis on nutrition. If the child is diagnosed with an endocrine disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment, which may include measures such as gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should consume a balanced diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
