Now that the conditions are good, we will also give our children full love, such as the annual physical examination starting from the age of one. There are many types of physical examinations for children, which can screen out possible problems and adjust according to the examination report. This is also beneficial for the baby's health. So, what should we do if a one year old child has low protein during the physical examination?
There are two situations of low protein. The first is that the baby's hemoglobin is low, which is a condition of iron deficiency anemia. For this type of low protein, the baby should be given iron supplements to restore normal body function. If it is not serious, dietary adjustments can be made, such as eating more pork liver or spinach, which can supplement iron.
If the hemoglobin is already severely low, medication should be used to regulate it, but usually this medication has a side effect, which is that the baby's discrimination may appear green due to incomplete absorption of iron elements.
Another type is low levels of immunoglobulin in the body, as it is an important component of our immune system. If this part is low, it indicates that the child's resistance is very low, which can easily lead to problems and infections. If the child's immunoglobulin is particularly low, it is necessary to inject medication such as immunoglobulin or amino acids to improve the child's immunity.
