Dear parent,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Your son has nutritional anemia secondary to iron and folate deficiency in diet. This can be diagnosed based on a simple, clinical examination. The whole panel of investigations that have been ordered seem to be unnecessary. All his complaints would definitely improve with correction of his anemia.
Kindly ensure the following:
1. Nutritious food containing green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits, dates and jaggery.
2. Start him on oral Iron supplement. You could start Syrup Provive-Fe 5 ml twice daily. You need to continue this for at least 3-6 months. Review with your paediatrician before stopping it.
3. Also start oral folate tablet.
Tab. Folvite 1/2 tab daily for 3-6 months
4. Ensure that you get a simple blood test - hemogram after 4 weeks to document improvement.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
Regards
