My DS, aged 2, was admitted to hospital with a high temperature a few days ago. It would come down temporarily before peaking again.
We were in for 2 nights and 3 days. They didn't find any definitive cause and have put it down as viral.
Over the course of our time in the hospital they ran some blood tests and they came back that DS has low hemaglobin (91). When I asked why it was low they didn't seem to know.
They have given us iron supplements to take 3 times a day and we have to return in 3 months time for more bloods.
I am concerned about this because DS has a healthy, varied diet. He gets beef a few times a week and loves nuts and eggs, he eats his veg pretty well too.
Has anyone else experienced this? If it isn't diet related why is his hemaglobin low?
