Question
What treatment methods are available for a 7-year-old child with iron-deficiency anemia?
Answer
Bruises on the skin from physical injuries typically take about two months to heal, which is not a symptom of iron-deficiency anemia. The diagnosis of anemia requires checking the hemoglobin level. If the hemoglobin level is below 120g/l, iron can be supplemented through diet, such as eating pork liver, pork blood, black fungus, and red dates. If the hemoglobin level is below 90g/l, oral iron supplements like ferrous sulfate or dextran iron should be taken, along with vitamin C tablets.
