Low MCV and MCH usually suggest iron deficiency anemia. It can improve with iron rich foods like spinach, jaggery, dates, and by taking iron supplements after consulting your doctor. Please consider doing the recommended tests to help confirm the cause and guide the next steps in treatment.

Why do they draw so much blood for a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from cold and cough, and for the past two days, I noticed blood in my cough. I went to the hospital, and the doctor advised a blood test, which came back negative except for a mild infection. The doctor prescribed Azithromycin 500 and flu medicine. However, I am still coughing up blood 2 to 3 times. What should I do now?
