High Vitamin B12 and low hemoglobin
My son is 7 years old and his vitamin b12 levels are higher than the normal range(1174pg/ml). His hemoglobin is 10.4... ESR is high(31)... Serum iron was low (40) but ferritin came out normal.
I already know how to help his hemoglobin levels as my mother in law faces the same issues and we've dealt with it by monitoring her diet.
But I don't know how I can help my son's vitamin b12 levels. His lipid profile is normal. The only test we are planning to do is his KFR/eGFR.
Please suggest what can I do to help him.
I am willing to do any additional tests if needed.

Nothing can be done for high levels. They would reduce on their own. Do not give multivitamin routinely without checking with your paediatrician.
