Baby's examination diagnosed with anemia—iron deficiency anemia caused by hypoxia?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Iron deficiency anemia can cause symptoms of hypoxia in patients. Hemoglobin in the blood is primarily responsible for delivering oxygen to various tissues; when hemoglobin levels decrease, the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity is reduced, leading to inadequate oxygen supply in the body. Parents are advised to help their children develop healthy eating habits, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, enhance their immunity, and maintain overall health.
