Hi Thanks for contacting Practo.  The haemoglobin level is extremely low firstly he needs blood transfusion immediately. Then the cause of low haemoglobin has to be diagnosed once the haemoglobin levels reach normal levels. If neglected he can have serious problems like cardiomegaly etc.
Next Steps
Get a Blood Transfusion done.
