What should I do if my child is anemic at one and a half weeks old?

Iron deficiency anemia is a disease that our babies are very prone to. A big reason for this is that our mothers do not provide our babies with a nutritionally balanced meal. This method of solving the problem with diet therapy is very good. Maybe many of us don’t have a clear understanding of what to do if a one-year-old baby has iron deficiency anemia. Let’s learn about what to do if a one-year-old baby has iron deficiency anemia.

1. Treat the cause. Treatment targeting the pathogenesis of anemia. For example, for iron deficiency anemia, iron should be supplemented in time, such as taking Iron Tablets; for megaloblastic anemia, folic acid or vitamin B12 should be supplemented; for autoimmune hemolytic anemia, glucocorticoids or splenectomy should be used; for Fanconi anemia, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be used, etc.

2. Treat symptomatically. Patients with severe anemia, the elderly, or anemia patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency should receive red blood cell transfusions to correct anemia and improve the body's hypoxia; patients with acute massive blood loss should quickly restore blood volume and receive red blood cell transfusions to correct anemia. Different supportive treatments should be given to anemia complicated by bleeding, infection, and organ dysfunction; patients with multiple blood transfusions and hemochromatosis should be given iron chelation therapy.

3. The anemia we are talking about is generally iron deficiency anemia, which is due to insufficient iron storage in the body, leading to a decrease in hemoglobin levels. Most of them are caused by iron deficiency in diet, menstrual blood loss in women, gastrointestinal malabsorption and other reasons. Therefore, iron supplementation is the fundamental way to improve anemia. It is recommended to drink 2 cups of Zheng 9 Wei Xueying Tea every day. It has a good taste and high absorption rate. It can quickly replenish the body's missing iron, protein and other elements, increase the body's blood activity and improve anemia symptoms.

4. Anemia care requires a combination of work and rest. For hemolytic anemia, patients with chronic mild and moderate conditions can engage in appropriate activities, while those with severe conditions should rest in bed for 1 to 2 weeks. After the symptoms of anemia are relieved, they can get up and move around, and gradually increase the amount of activity. For patients with insufficient hematopoietic raw materials, such as iron deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia, work can be reduced according to the severity of the anemia, and appropriate physical activities can be carried out, such as walking, practicing the Eighteen Methods of Qigong, He Xiang Zhuang Qigong, etc. In severe cases, patients with anemia may consider resting in bed.

The above content introduces us to the relevant issues of what to do if a one-year-old baby has iron deficiency anemia. These methods are very effective methods that have been practiced. The above methods can help us cure the iron deficiency anemia problem in our children. At the same time, we must also pay high attention to dietary issues in the future, which is very necessary.
