General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM...
I appreciate your health concerns..
what is the age of your son? any other disease he is suffering from? any medicine he is using? is he having fever?
Based upon the history you have provided, i think there is need for workup. I think you should meet HAEMATOLOGIST , so that he is properly assesed. If i am your attending physician i will get your P.SMEAR with RETIC COUNT, after then i will decide about other investigations..
Bone marrow is done when it is indicated.. your physician will decide about it..
You should consult your doctor and meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain and fever. ..
hope it helps
regards
dr saad sultan
