What should I do if many items in a blood test for a 2-year-old child are low?

Patient's question:

Today, upon inspection, it was found that the reference ranges are as follows: HCT 30.635-50, MCV 57.280-100, MCH 17.528-34, MCHC 307-320-360, RDW-SD 30.835-56, PLT 354100-350.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: The child's anemia is caused by dietary factors leading to nutritional iron deficiency.
Recommendation: The child has iron deficiency anemia, and insufficient iron intake due to a limited diet. Currently, the hemoglobin level is within the normal range, so it should not be severe. It is recommended that you increase iron-rich foods for your child, such as liver and blood products, to promote the recovery from anemia.
