How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat anemia in children?

In fact, many people have explored the issue of anemia. After all, anemia can cause various physical discomforts. So what should we do when children suffer from anemia? Of course, choose traditional Chinese medicine to treat children's anemia, because traditional Chinese medicine has extensive research on anemia in children. It is not a general rule, but research on each age group. Next, let us learn about the treatment methods of anemia in children using traditional Chinese medicine, and what is the treatment of anemia in children using traditional Chinese medicine?

Infant anemia is common in children between 6 months and 3 years old and is caused by iron deficiency, because the main substances for hematopoiesis are protein and iron. After a child is born, his diet mainly consists of milk, so there will be no protein deficiency. The iron content in milk is very low and the iron in some foods contains oxalate, carbonate and phytate, which interfere with the absorption and utilization of iron and cause iron deficiency anemia.

Proper feeding is necessary to ensure that children obtain iron and nutrients, and is also an extremely important aspect of preventing iron deficiency anemia. The "reasonable" mentioned here means that the mixing of milk and food should be based on the different ages of children and appropriate diet should be selected. For example, children 6 months after birth should pay attention to adding complementary foods to meet the needs of growth and development. You can appropriately choose egg yolks, lean meat and vegetable juice, fruit juice, vegetable puree, pork liver puree, etc. In this way, the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia can be effectively prevented.

Once children suffer from iron deficiency anemia, they will become tired, weak, irritable, anorexic, have abdominal distension, diarrhea, malnutrition and be prone to colds. It is very detrimental to the growth and development of children. If the hemoglobin test shows that it is lower than 11g/dL, it is anemia and should be actively treated to correct the anemia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children's spleen and stomach have weak functions of transportation and transformation. Eating too much will damage the stomach, and being too hungry will damage the spleen. The essence of food and water cannot be transported and transformed, and qi, blood, and body fluids cannot be produced, resulting in anemia. In addition, if you can eat enough but the digestive and absorptive functions of the spleen and stomach are weak, anemia will also occur.

Therefore, Chinese medicine advocates the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children by strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and nourishing blood. Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoer Jianpi Pills, Qipijiu Pills, and Jianpi Xiaoshi Pills can be used for treatment.
