Child Cheeks Turned Pale Suddenly. What Could Be The Reason?
Doctor sir,
My son is 1.75 years old, recently for past one month his cheeks turned a little pale,
What could be the reason, He was not playing so much right from infant stage, so we don't find any difference in his activities,
When he is running for about 15 to 20 metre distance, he would stop a while and sit at the same place then after one minute he would start running again,
What could be the reason,
Pl guide us,
Thank You, Anand

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history it seems that your son might be having anemia.
Most common cause of having anemia at this age is worm infestation.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
Go for blood for hemoglobin testing.
After reports go for treatment accordingly.
Give high protein nourishing food.
Give fresh vegetable juices.
Ok and bye.
