If no history of thalassemia, May start Ferosoft syrup, half teaspoon 2 times a day before meals. Milk intake should not be more than 20 ounces in 24 hours and increase solid foods. CBC maybe repeated after one month. At that time, also get Total Serum Iron level and Iron Binding Capacity tests. We can then decide how long to use Ferosoft.

Iberet 1tsp OD
Vermox 1tsp BD for 3 days
Vidalyn 1tsp OD
Dmax 2 drops daily
Pediasure 1 cup at night n giving iron diet as well.

Why lymphocytes are high in report?

Please reply

respected parent, the child of yours has what we call microcytic hypochromic anaemia. in adddition to what my fellow collegues have advised, please pay special attention to his diet.. avoid junk food in the form of sweets and candies or packeted chips or even biscuits.. use home made foods , pay special attention to green leafy veggies and add meat or qeema in diet..i would personally not recommend chicken unless organic. and lots of fruits specially apples and strawberries (thoroughly washed) and mangoes when the season starts..
u need to reperform the tests CBC and peripheral film in 2 months time to assess the improvemnt.

Respected mother, Bachon main iron deficiency anemia boht common hai aur jaisa k aap nay bataya iss condition main bachay mitti aur walls to suck kartay aur khatay hain. Paraishaani ki. baat nahi kyun k diagnosis tests k through aap nay confirm ker liya hai. ** Iron deficiency ki kafi wajoohaat hoti hain jaisay k khoraak main iron ki kami, viral infections, pait main keeray waghaira. Most likely aapkay bachay ko Thalassemia nahi hai, issliay iss baat ko lay ker aap paraishaan na hon. Aap bilkul theek medicines day rahi hain iss liay unhain continue rakhain aur 2-4 months main yehi tests repeat karwain. I hope it satisfy your querries. Stay home stay safe.

Thanx alot to all respected doctor for answering my problem. I m really thankful
