Dr. Zhang Heyang
Childhood anemia is caused by insufficient red blood cell production. It includes acquired and congenital aplastic anemia, anemia due to red blood cell destruction, and hemolytic anemia in children. Malnutrition can also lead to iron-deficiency anemia. It is recommended to encourage children to consume more foods rich in protein and iron, such as animal liver, pig blood, and soy products. Maintain a balanced diet and avoid staying up late whenever possible.
