Dear Doctor, My 2 month old son has been coughing for the past few days. His blood report today shows: HGB: 9.5, Platelets: 887, CRP (Quantitative): 23.6. Could you please guide us on the next steps? Thank you.

CRP 23.6 is high, suggesting infection. Low hemoglobin also needs follow-up. Consult a pediatrician immediately. Ensure baby is feeding well and not lethargic. Do not delay, infant infections can progress quickly.

I took a Mankind abortion pill on April 2 and successfully terminated the pregnancy. However, since then, I have been experiencing heavy bleeding that has not stopped. My ultrasound, thyroid, and blood test reports are all normal, but the bleeding continues. I am very concerned about my health, especially because I want to have a baby in the future.
