Low HB level of my son
Hello Doctor! I have a baby boy of 2.5 years old. He is getting pale day by day. yesterday i got his HB test which showed a value of 6.6. I am worried since I came to know his HB level which is on lower side. He often avoids to take solid diet. Otherwise he is active and looks healthy except paleness. Please suggest to improve his HB level.

You have to get him investigated for cause of anaemia.
Iron deficiency is the commonest cause,but NOT the only one,don't add iron supplements without investigation.
