Question
What are the symptoms of iron deficiency in babies?
Answer
When babies are deficient in iron, they may exhibit symptoms such as lethargy, paleness of the skin and lips, and peripheral circulatory disorders (such as nails turning white under pressure and taking longer to recover when released). Based on the information you provided, your child may have anemia. It is recommended to perform a complete blood count test to determine the type of anemia. If it is iron deficiency anemia, oral iron supplements (such as Iron Plus) can be taken to supplement. In daily life, you can also prevent iron deficiency by eating foods rich in iron, such as pig blood (which is rich in trace elements and protein, and has a low cholesterol content), and by eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding picky eating and dietary restrictions.
