I have iron deficiency is it bad that i eat ice a lot? it makes the top of my mouth sore but i can't help it!

Take supplement: If suffering of iron deficiency and it has been checked lately make sure you are taking iron supplement. Craving ice is a sign of low iron stores in your body so as soon as iron is being replaced these symptoms should get better.
