Hello there. I can understand your concern. Yes 4.9 is very low and it would require blood transfusion. You can also try by taking medications and high protein diet. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management. He will be able to help you further. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore
