Question
My child is nearly two and a half years old, and the trace element test shows iron deficiency. How can I supplement iron through diet? What are the impacts of iron deficiency on children’s development? How have past treatments and outcomes been? I hope to receive some assistance.
Answer
Combine various fresh green vegetables, fruits, liver, eggs, fish and shrimp, chicken, beef, mutton, and legumes. Aim for a variety of dishes every day. When cooking, pay attention to the color, aroma, and taste. Iron deficiency may lead to iron-deficiency anemia, causing symptoms such as fatigue, pale face and nails, cold hands and feet, reduced immunity and resistance to infection, delayed growth and development in children, increased heart rate, decreased appetite, dizziness, etc. As long as the nutrition is properly balanced, the child will quickly replenish the iron.
