Constipation and low hb

2025-02-04 09:41:03
My daughter is 1.5 years old and she is suffering from constipation. Although she pass stool daily but it is very hard and dry and she cries due to pain. Today also there was a tinge of blood in stool due to skin cut of anus. On consulting with doctor he suggested hb test and it came out 8.2. Doctor said more milk intake is the cause and low hb is also due to high milk intake and constipation. Is it something serious? I am worried about low hb

Hii Give fruits like banana, increase the water intake. If any worms found in the stool consult. I hope deworming is been done with syrup albendazole If not done give syrup albendazole(400mg/10ml) 5 ml once ( stat dose ). Make sure that deworming is done every 6 months once. Local examination about perianal region is required.
