Anemia in infants can cause many symptoms

summary

Anemia is a common situation, but people who know it should be very familiar with many types of anemia, iron deficiency anemia is one of them, for iron deficiency anemia, we should pay attention to iron and blood, drug blood is a good method, so let's understand the symptoms of infantile anemia?

Anemia in infants can cause many symptoms

First: dizziness, tinnitus, headache, insomnia, dreaminess, memory loss, inattention, etc. are common symptoms caused by neural tissue damage caused by anemia and hypoxia. Children with anemia can cry restless, restless and even affect intellectual development.

Second: pallor is the main manifestation of skin and mucous membrane in anemia. When anemia occurs, the body redistributes the effective blood volume through neurohumoral regulation, and the blood supply to the relatively minor organs such as skin and mucous membrane decreases; In addition, due to the reduction of red blood cells and hemoglobin content in the unit volume of blood, the color of skin and mucous membrane will also become pale. Coarseness, lack of luster and even ulceration are another manifestation of skin and mucous membrane in anemia, which may also be related to the primary disease of anemia. Hemolytic anemia, especially extravascular hemolytic anemia, can cause yellowing of skin and mucous membrane.

Third: in anemia, red blood cells synthesize more 2,3-diphosphoglyceride (2,3-DPG) to reduce the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, shift the oxygen dissociation curve to the right, and obtain more oxygen in tissues. Shortness of breath or dyspnea are mostly caused by hypoxia or hypercapnia in the respiratory center. So mild anemia has no obvious performance, only after the activity causes the breath to accelerate deepens and has the palpitation, the heart rate to accelerate. The more severe anemia, the more activity, the more obvious symptoms. In severe anemia, even in a calm state, there may be shortness of breath or even sitting breathing. Long term anemia, cardiac overload and insufficient oxygen supply will lead to anaemic heart disease. At this time, there are not only heart rate changes, but also arrhythmias and cardiac insufficiency.

matters needing attention

Warm reminder: children with poor absorption of dietary supplements or severe anemia can reasonably supplement iron under the guidance of nutritionists, such as giving children some special iron tablets for children's anemia. Usually, anemia will be improved in about 6 weeks. In addition, parents should cultivate their children to form a good habit of eating on time, not partial to food and not eating snacks. Snacks focus on delicious taste, nutrition is often not comprehensive, easy to lead to iron deficiency anemia.
