Question

What are the symptoms of neonatal anemia, and how should it be treated?

Answer

Mild anemia may not show obvious symptoms, but moderate anemia can cause pale complexion and lack of blood color in the conjunctiva of the eyelids. The condition of anemia can be determined through routine blood tests. If the mother is anemic, the child may develop anemia due to nutritional deficiencies. Treatment should involve strengthening iron supplementation, and it is recommended to give the child liver foods, which should be mashed for easy digestion and absorption.
