Children with malnutrition anemia, how to do?
Hello: Anemia in children aged eight or nine months to two years old is mostly caused by lack of enough iron in food. It is more common in premature infants who don't get enough iron from their mothers. Usually, they still give priority to breast milk for eight or nine months after birth. If they don't eat some eggs and fish, iron deficiency will occur. After blood tests, if they are diagnosed as anemia, doctors will let children eat iron, and eat more iron-rich foods such as marine fish, animal blood, or dried fish and vegetables in their daily diet. Iron deficiency anemia can be cured quickly without sequelae. The following are common causes of anemia in children. 1. Sometimes babies will inadvertently come into contact with lead used as paint, resulting in anemia due to lead poisoning. Lead in the paint on toys and iron railings can also be poisoned and cause anemia. If children have the above toxic substances, they can be sent to the hospital for examination. 2. Some children suffer from hemorrhagic diseases, such as epistaxis and chronic blood loss caused by intestinal parasites. Children with hookworm disease can cause severe anemia. When eating vegetables without chemical fertilizer, always check the eggs in feces. 3. Children with chronic nephritis can also cause anemia. If anemia is suspected, don't forget to check urine routine. 4. Preschool children, some like to eat polished rice, but don't like to eat fish, eggs and green leafy vegetables, which causes anemia due to insufficient iron. Although folic acid deficiency can also cause anemia, it often occurs at the same time as scurvy, which is because of not eating vegetables and fruits. 5. Long-term use of antiepileptic drugs can cause anemia due to folic acid deficiency, so children with epilepsy need to pay attention to taking phenytoin sodium. 6. Some children suffer from indigestion diarrhea, resulting in iron absorption disorder. 7. Infant milk anemia. Recently, it was also found that drinking fresh milk without boiling caused intestinal bleeding in children. In order to attract attention, experts suggest that the total amount of fresh milk should not exceed 750 ml (3 bottles of milk) per day for babies born from 2 to 12 months. Second, children's bone marrow hematopoietic dysfunction. Third, the life span of red blood cells is short. The normal life span of red blood cells is 120 days, and anemia can also occur if a large number of them are destroyed prematurely, which is related to taking sulfa drugs by mistake, wearing clothes with camphor to prevent insects, and some children are also related to eating broad beans. Most of the family's prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia is improper diet, such as improper addition of complementary food for infants, picky eaters and partial eclipse for children, so we should correct partial eclipse and give foods rich in iron, vitamins and protein, especially beans, which are rich in iron and easy to absorb. Try to cook in an iron pan. If the doctor gives iron-containing medicine, he should take it between meals, not with milk, and avoid drinking tea. Anemia can be improved by dietotherapy. The method is to eat carrots and stir-fry pork liver; Carrot150g, pork liver100g, ginger, onion and salt. Shred carrot, slice pork liver and fry until cooked. If infants can't breastfeed, but feed with milk, and don't pay attention to scientifically adding complementary food (complementary food), it is easy to have milk anemia. Milk contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, rich calcium and phosphorus, and more vitamin A, but contains little iron, a raw material for hematopoiesis. Babies began to store some iron in the body three months before birth, but after birth, due to active hematopoiesis and rapid growth, all iron was consumed in four months after birth. If it is not replenished in time, milk anemia will occur. In addition, if you take boiled fresh milk, it can cause chronic blood loss in the intestine, which is also the cause of anemia. Once anemia is diagnosed, it should be treated actively. Generally, the curative effect can be seen in two or three months or longer. If it improves, white blood cells will recover first and platelets will recover the slowest. After various treatments, aplastic anemia that still has no effect can be transplanted with bone marrow. The following measures should be taken for children with nutritional anemia: (1) try to breastfeed; (2) Full-term infants should be fed with vitamin C after 4 months, or low-birth-weight infants should be fed with vitamin C after 2 months, and the intake of green vegetable soup and juice containing more iron should be increased; (3) Infants within 4 months should not add semi-solid or solid food, so as not to increase the digestive burden of children; (4) For babies born for 5 months, egg yolk, fish paste, liver paste and minced meat can be added to the porridge twice a day, and fed between feedings; (5) Develop good eating habits and diversify food. The causes of anemia can be roughly divided into three categories. First, there is insufficient hematopoietic raw materials. Hematopoietic raw materials include iron, folic acid, vitamin B 12, protein, etc., which are gathered in the bone marrow to make red blood cells. If the raw materials are insufficient, the production of red blood cells will be reduced, which will inevitably show anemia. Anemia in infants is mainly caused by iron deficiency. Because children grow fast, but there is less iron stored in their bodies, if they are only fed with breast milk and milk with less iron, and do not supplement protein, vegetables, meat, liver and other complementary foods with more iron in time after teething, it may lead to iron deficiency anemia in children. ........
