Should I Be Concerned With Child Having Low Hemoglobin Level?
My daughter just had her Hemoglobin checked and it was 11.2. Should I be concerned? The pediatrician didn't seem concerned, but I know that she has had a history of low hgb at 9mths was 11.1, 12 mth was 11.4 and 2 yrs was 12.8( good) mand now at 5yrs is 11.2. Iam just wandering why it is low and should I be concerned and take her back in to find out why it is low?
