Question
What should children with iron-deficiency anemia eat? What should they supplement?
Answer
Treatment should first identify the cause and then treat it accordingly. It is recommended to start with a round of deworming treatment. It is also suggested to consume more lean meat, pork liver, egg yolks, milk, fish and shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, tofu, and blood to supplement iron and protein. Also, eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C, which promotes iron absorption. Pay attention to prevent picky eating habits in everyday life.
