How to cure anemia in children

Anemia is a relatively common problem. Many children will suffer from anemia, it is just a matter of whether it is serious or not. Even if we don’t give children milk or eggs every day, children will still suffer from anemia. In fact, it does not mean that foods with high nutritional value also have high iron content. In particular, the iron content in milk and eggs is very low. Let us introduce in detail how to treat anemia in children.

Iron deficiency anemia: manifested by abnormal behavior, such as inattention, slow reaction, withdrawn personality, picky eating, restless sleep at night and other symptoms.

If you find any of the following changes in your baby, you should take him to see a doctor immediately:

1. Babies with anemia often lack energy, have pale complexions, pale eyelid conjunctiva, and light red or pale lips and tongue.

2. Babies with anemia often get tired easily and tend to be less active.

3. Decreased appetite is also a characteristic of anemic babies.

4. Because the immune function is reduced, you are more susceptible to various infectious diseases.

To prevent your baby from iron deficiency anemia, you can choose foods rich in iron. Generally, animal foods have a higher absorption rate of iron, such as liver, lean meat, fish, eggs, etc.

These foods contain heme iron, which is easily absorbed and utilized.

Since the absorption pathway of lead in the body can compete with calcium, iron and zinc, a diet rich in calcium, iron and zinc in children can reduce the absorption of lead, especially milk, which contains protein that can combine with lead in the body to form an insoluble compound, thereby greatly reducing the body's absorption of lead. In addition, vitamin C can also combine with lead to form water-insoluble and non-toxic salts, which are excreted from the body with feces. Therefore, eating more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C can also help excrete lead from the body. Foods rich in vitamin C include rapeseed, cabbage, bitter gourd, kiwi fruit, dates, etc.

The above content is a complete introduction on how to treat anemia in children. I hope that after understanding this, everyone will pay more attention to the condition of their children. Once anemia occurs, you must take your child to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. This way, the disease can be controlled to a certain extent in the early stages and the condition will not become more serious.
