How can anemia be treated in infants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies with cause: Infants often have a hard time making blood as fast as they need it to grow and their supply of dietary iron is often the limiting factor. A simple iron supplement can often fix the problem. Failure to respond to medicinal iron can require a more involved evaluation.Treatment would focus on the cause.
