Actual (reported)effect of iron supplementation on recurrent upper respiratory tract infections measured by Canadian Acute Respiratory Illness and Flu Scale {CARIFS}
Assessment of the upper respiratory tract infection incidence and severity throughout the study period will be done by a questionnaire including: Number of upper respiratory tract infection episodes per month with or without absenteeism from school, Total number of days sick with an upper respiratory tract infection ,and Canadian Acute Respiratory Illness and Flu Scale {CARIFS}
15 months
children with iron deficiency anemia on therapeutic iron fumerate therapy (6mg/kg/d) for 3 months, then maintained on iron fumerate supplementation(1mg/kg/d) for 12 months
children with recurrent upper respiratory tract infection and no anemia receiving oral iron fumerate (1mg/kg/d) for 12 months
children with recurrent upper respiratory tract infection and no anemia followed up for 12 months
iron fumerate supplementation (6mg/kg/d) for arm 1 iron fumerate supplementation (1mg/kg/d) for arm 2
