Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. At 3 months, hereditary hemolytic anemia will start presenting.
2. Get a hemoglobin electrophoresis done to identify the type of anemia.
3. Try to give group specific, single donor packed red cells till a diagnosis is made. More investigations, reports and clinical details along with family history are necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
