Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello doctor,I have a son having age 6 months and 15 days with premature delivery of about 1 month and 10 days earlier than the date of delivery which doctors told us. Now last week we came to know that my son is having less HB it is about 7.4 gm and the PCV level is 23.1%. we have started to give him solid food which include cerelac, semolina cooked in milk just two weeks ago. in medicines we are giving him Tonoferron (iron drops) and Vitomin-Z(multivitamin drops). Kindly tell me is the HB is very less and really a matter of worry and is the medicines and diet is sufficient to raise his HB?We are really worried so kindly tell me ASAP. Thanks alot Doctor.
