Greetings vitamin B12 count of 27 is severely low and requires immediate evaluation by a pediatrician to rule out underlying clinical issues. A child with severe deficiency may potential suffer from nutritional macrocytic anemia, intestinal malabsorption, or neurological complications. Treatment options typically include high-dose oral supplementation, sublingual melting strips, or intramuscular injections depending on the cause.

Vitamin B12 level of 27 appears quite low and usually needs proper supplementation after clinical evaluation. Please consult your pediatrician/physician with the full report, CBC and symptoms history before starting treatment, as some children may require higher oral doses or even injections depending on the cause and severity. Meanwhile, B12-rich foods like milk, curd, paneer, eggs and fortified cereals can be encouraged.
