Suggest Treatment For Iron Deficiency In A 2 Year Old Child
My 2 years girl have iron deficiency and formed target cells. She is too choosy in meals and usually iron tonics like maltopher and videlyn with iron taste not good and she don t drink it. Need a good iron tonic witch contains iron and elemental iron with folic acid and b12 for digestion and absorption and with good taste like we had in our childhood .. Ferredol setup of park Davis that taste great.
If your girl can not tolerate the oral iron, generally iron pills and syrups do not taste well, then you may decide to give her iron intravenous. This is a little invasive but will give her a good dose of iron at a time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
