Pediatric anemia refers to a condition where the body has a lower-than-normal number of healthy red blood cells. It can be caused by various factors, including nutritional deficiencies, genetic disorders, or chronic diseases.
Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves blood tests and a thorough medical evaluation.
Treatments may include dietary changes, iron supplementation, or, in severe cases, blood transfusions. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are crucial.
