HB level very low in 18 months baby boy
Hello Doctor,
My baby is 18 months old but his HB level is only 6.7.. He was born at 33 weeks and in December his HB was only 6.
Doctor has given him Tasiron drops 1ml once daily , he is been taking from 2 months and also I'm giving him black raisins soaked juice, Dates, beetroot, pomegranate, eggs, red meat soup, green leafy veggies.. why is it increasing slowly? Plz let me know if this increase in 0.7 in 2 months is ok or very slow.. what should we do to increase the HB level ??

First of all, it's important to find out cause of low Hb rather than just giving tasiron. Also, food items don't work. Hb of 6 is an emergency. I am a pediatric hematologist. You can consult me further regarding this.
