Blood routine WBC 9.1 is normal?

Patient's question:

My son is 17 months old. Blood test results: WBC 9.1, RBC 3.92, HGB 118, HCT 0.311, MCV 79.3 fL, MCHC 379, PLT 237, LYM% 0.604, NEUT% 0.342, MPV 8.4 fL. The doctor said it's moderate anemia and prescribed Yikang Syrup. Is it anemia? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

rbc: red blood cells
wbc: white blood cells
hb (actually hgb): hemoglobin
plt: platelets
This only indicates that your red blood cells and platelets are more uniform in size and does not suggest any disease. If your RBC and hemoglobin (Hb) are normal, there is no need to worry about anemia. You can take the report to see what the doctor says specifically and determine if any treatment is needed.
