Hemoglobin decreased in 2 days
My daughter 3.5 Y old had a fever for 4 days until last Saturday. The doctor asked us to perform CBC and dengue. Her WBC was 4750 , platelet count 176000 , hemoglobin 13.1 , Hematocrit 39.1 , Dengue negative. Her fever completely subsided two days ago and she is normal now , But the doctor wants to repeat the blood test to make sure that her platelets are increasing. Today's test showed that WBC is 6500, platelet is slightly reduced to 173000, hemoglobin has decreased from 13.1 to 11.6, and hematocrit has decreased from 39.1 to 34.7. Is this something we are worried about?
