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

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a IRON STUDIES (IRON + TIBC) Test

I received my routine blood test report, which shows an MPV of 13.6. Could you please advise if this requires any precautions or if there is anything to be concerned about? Regards, Upkar

My child is experiencing rashes all over the body, which sometimes appear in one area and disappear from another. He also has fever, sleepiness, and nausea. He has been taking Atarax 6 ml and Rantac 3.5 ml for the past day, but he feels very weak and even fell down while complaining of nausea. I got a CBC done, and his platelet count is normal.

My father has easily bruising skin during a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report which shows a low platelet count that may indicate a purpura like condition.
