How can iron deficiency in kids be treated?

My child is suffering from a mild iron deficiency. She is 10 years old. Is it too early to give supplements or what should I do?

Iron deficiency means no or little iron. She should take the iron supplement as directed.
Yes, she can be treated with iron supplements, but she should be evaluated to find the cause.
