Question
My child has been very disobedient and constantly crying lately. The hospital check-up didn’t find any issues. I would like to ask how to treat iron deficiency in babies.
Answer
The child may be suffering from iron deficiency anemia due to malnutrition. It is recommended to supplement with iron, along with folic acid and vitamin B12, while also ensuring a balanced diet that includes iron-rich foods such as meat, eggs, liver, fish, and spinach.
