Patient's question:
The baby is ten and a half months old. Today, while getting vaccinated, the baby had a thorough blood test. The hemoglobin value was 118, but the average red blood cell count is low. What does this mean? Can the baby be anemic?Doctor's answer:
You said the baby is ten and a half months old. Today, you had the baby undergo a detailed hemoglobin check, and the result was 118, which is within the normal range. The child is not anemic. I suggest you don't worry. The average red blood cell count being slightly low is not clinically significant. The main thing to look at is the hemoglobin value. As long as you provide appropriate complementary foods for the child, everything is usually fine. Wishing your whole family health and happiness! The above advice is for the question "What does it mean if a baby's red blood cell average is low?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
