Anemia is a common blood disorder that occurs when there are fewer red blood cells than normal, or there is a low concentration of hemoglobin in the blood.
Anemia is often a symptom of a disease rather than a disease itself.
Many of the symptoms will not be present with mild anemia, as the body can often compensate for gradual changes in hemoglobin. The following are the most common symptoms for anemia. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms of anemia may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
