Child low iron and high thyroid. what do we do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk with Doc: These are common issues that most primary care providers deal with on a regular basis.A diet change and or iron supplement are usually the first step for the iron deficiency, the pcp can usually arrange for you to see a pediatric endocrinologist after some confirmatory testing on the thyroid issue.
