A member asked:

3yr old was diagnosed with mild anemia, what could cause this? could it be leukemia?:/ very worried, she has never been a big eater (23.5pounds)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anemia: Mutilpe causes of anemia, but there should be other blood count issues, with the white blood count and platelet count as well if we were worried about leukemia. Diet can play a huge role in anemia, and drinking lots of milk can cause it.
