What are the reasons for low red and white blood cells in a 2.5-year-old child?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for a 2.5-year-old child's low red and white blood cell count in a blood test? The child has always been in good health and has not been sick within the past six months. What could be causing the low results in the blood test, and how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is more likely that your baby has anemia. According to the above speculation, it is recommended to use iron supplements, pay attention to rest, and enhance nutrition. In daily life, use more iron-rich foods and foods that promote iron absorption. After a period of adjustment, the condition should improve. It is recommended to review the blood routine after two weeks. If it remains low, it is advisable to go to a professional hospital's hematology department to check whether you have a blood disease.
