How Can Severe Anemia Be Treated?
My daughter (17years) is severely anemic and also has tested ana positive and is waiting to see a rheumatologist about a possible autoimmune disease and also has thyroid issues... now my issue is that she doesn t eat well, she is very picky, and I m sure that her nutrition and her physical health are connected in some ways. Would something like pedia sure benefit her?

Hello,
She has some autoimmune disease suspicion, and she is severely anemic. So please get her assessed for pernicious anemia and vitamin B-12 level. Also, get complete iron deficiency anemia profile for her. Till the tests, you can give her PediaSure. Make sure that her thyroid profile is well maintained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
