[|AI|]  Normally most of the child Chat Doctor. . But you say that still you are having anemia which might be due to some other cause like 1. Less production of red blood cells2. More destruction of RBC3. Prolonged infection like malaria ect4. Iron deficiency or nutritional anemia.to find out the cause, get your total blood count along with peripheral smear and also pickling test and HE electrophoresis. With these test, we can evaluate the cause for the anemia.
