My ward is 4 year and 8 month old, half an year ago he fell down in staircase and got hurt near lowerlips. And much blood were out at that day.. after stitching by doctor it's treated wounds. And now a days he is frequently getting sick, like cold, and Viral fever, cough etc and I visited for pediatrics to cure. Doctor also suggested that his blood count is seems to be down . My question is whether it's due to that incident of fell down or due to climate change its happening! What should I do care for his better immunity concern? As he take fruits, egg vegetable then also low blood count? What should I do care?
Ans: By low blood count I assume you mean low WBC count. That can happen secondary to viral infections. It will pick up a week later. If you mean low haemoglobin then you need to increase iron rich foods in diet like green leafy vegetables, ragi, meat.
The frequent infections could also be due to allergies. This is not related to the fall.
