Hi Sir... Hemoglobin level is very low... So we need to see why baby's hemoglobin is low... It may be due to infection like malaria or it may be due to iron deficiency or it may also be other causes like thalassemia etc etc... So lots of blood tests needs to be done before suggesting any medicine..
Next Steps
Pls see a nearby Pediatrician soon
