Low hemoglobin in babies may be a simple physiological anemia or it may be related to the lack of nutrients in the body, which needs to be judged by situation before treatment. Main causes and symptoms 1. Physiological anemia: If the baby is less than 6 months old and the hemoglobin is not less than 100g/L, there are usually no abnormal symptoms and no special treatment is needed. If the baby is older than 6 months, supplementary food can be added in time, especially baby rice powder with high iron content, to supplement the nutritional elements. If the hemoglobin is obviously low or still insufficient after supplementing supplementary food, it may be pathological anemia; 2. Pathological anemia: due to the lack of iron, protein, vitamin C and other nutritional elements in the baby’s body, it may easily lead to the lack of hemoglobin in the blood, causing the phenomenon of low hemoglobin to appear, mainly The main symptoms are pale skin and nail bed, including pale face and lips, and may be accompanied by indigestion, poor appetite, lack of energy, constipation, enlarged liver and spleen lymph nodes, etc. If the hemoglobin is significantly low, parents need to take the baby to the hospital to check the cause and treat it in a timely manner, and can give the baby oral iron supplements, such as ferrous sulfate, under the guidance of the doctor. For babies with megaloblastic anemia, vitamin B12 and folic acid can be supplemented to regulate the condition. Babies with thalassemia should be monitored for hemoglobin at all times, and even need to be maintained by blood transfusion. Caution When babies have low hemoglobin, parents should be careful not to blindly supplement their babies to avoid causing other abnormalities. In addition to the appropriate amount of iron supplements, you can pay attention to the daily diet to give your baby more red dates, egg yolk, green leafy vegetables, animal liver and other foods to help supplement vitamin C and promote iron absorption.
