Question

What causes high blood levels in a six-month-old baby?

Answer

Under normal circumstances, the ratio of red blood cell count to hemoglobin content in a six-month-old baby is relatively stable. When anemia occurs, these ratios change. Therefore, the baby’s condition may be due to anemia. However, there are many causes of pediatric blood diseases. If diagnosed with a blood disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and maintain good hygiene habits. In addition, children need a balanced diet and avoid consuming irritating or cold foods.
