Question
Does my child have anemia? Do I need to take them to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment? Please provide assistance.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, your child does not show any signs of anemia. If the child indeed has iron-deficiency anemia or thalassemia, they would typically exhibit corresponding symptoms. Therefore, from the routine blood report alone, I personally suggest no further tests are needed at this point. In addition to the two indicators of mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin being slightly low, which suggests the need to rule out iron-deficiency anemia and thalassemia, other projects can be temporarily disregarded.
