What to Do If a Baby is Anemic at One Year Old?

Question

I don’t know what’s wrong, but my child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and the hospital check-ups haven’t helped. What should I do if my baby is anemic at one year old?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby may be suffering from iron deficiency due to malnutrition. It is recommended to treat this by supplementing vitamins and trace elements, particularly iron. Appropriate medication can be taken, along with a diet that is easy to digest and absorb. In addition, good hygiene habits and a balanced diet are very important for the child’s health. If the child is diagnosed with an endocrine disease, treatment should be immediately coordinated with the doctor, and precautions should be taken to avoid irritating or cold foods.
