Question
Last year, during a trace element test, it was found that my ten-month-old child has an iron deficiency. After taking a multivitamin iron oral liquid for a period of time, the condition improved, but when tested again this year, the iron deficiency was found again. I would like to understand why the child is iron deficient and whether she has anemia.
Answer
Generally speaking, babies around three years old may experience varying degrees of physiological anemia due to insufficient iron in their diet not meeting the growth demands. As children grow, these symptoms usually stabilize. It is recommended to give the child oral medications containing digestible trace elements, such as Compound Zinc Iron Calcium Oral Liquid, and maintain a balanced diet by consuming more meat, eggs, and dairy products.
