Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which a child’s body lacks enough iron to make sufficient hemoglobin — a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. This results in a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the body, leading to fatigue, weakness, and pallor. Red blood cells are microcytic and hypochromic. (Small and less red).
