Question
After the baby receives an iron and calcium shot, the blood appears black. Is this a normal reaction?
Answer
After an infant or toddler receives iron and calcium supplements, the blood color does not turn black. The main ingredients of the iron and calcium supplements are iron and calcium, which are essential nutrients for the body. After injection, these elements are absorbed by the body to improve the baby’s nutritional status. If the blood appears black after injection, it may be caused by other factors. It is recommended to consult a doctor for further examination.
