Hg level 9.7
My son is 22 months old , He is suffering from a stomach infection now and lost almost a kg during a day. It has been controlled. He is doing fine now. During admission in hospital his hg level was 9.7. I am thalasemia non carrier. Does he have a chance to get that .His normal weight 12kgs.
A cbc with detailed indices , peripheral smear , reticulocyte count and hb electrophoresis will give the fair idea about the cause of anemia
Next Steps
Should definitely get the child investigated , though it could be nutritional deficiency too
