Question

If a child’s serum iron level is below the normal range, should dietary supplements or medication be taken?

Answer

If a child only has an iron deficiency, both dietary and medication supplementation can be adopted. Initially, medication can be used to replenish the serum iron, and regular dietary supplementation can maintain iron intake, such as spinach, which is rich in iron. Cooking with an iron pot can also offer some assistance. I hope this helps you. Wishing you health!
