Low Hb suggests anemia, possibly iron deficiency. Rashes may relate to allergic or nutritional causes. Iron-rich diet and pediatrician evaluation needed.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

I have been having continuous fever and a strong headache for the last four days. My urine report from yesterday shows albumin ++++?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor, my reports consistently show normocytic, mildly hypochromic RBCs, and I am concerned about what this means. I am pregnant and currently taking iron supplements and bifolate tablets, yet the results have not changed. Does mildly hypochromic indicate anemia, and should I consider getting a thalassemia test done?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have fever with stomach ache and start to sweat then doze off to sleep. I got a blood report which shows typhoid and I am on medication.
