Question: hello. I was just told that my two year old daughter white blood cells are depressed and her hemoglobin is low as well. I have anemia and I take iron pills. because I have anemia is this why my daughter has this problem. she is seeing a speacialist this Wednesday. she was fine all this time. but when I took her to get her two year old shots they took her iron test and I received the news today. I am scared. is there any thing that I can do to increase her white blood cells and her hemoglobin? is she going to be okay.

Brief Answer:
Need her complete blood count report.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your baby has low wbc count and low hemoglobin. It has no relation with your anemia so don't worry about that.

There are many causes of low wbc count with low hemoglobin. Common causes are viral infection, vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency etc. Other causes are due low production of wbc and rbc from bone marrow suppression.

Please send me her complete blood count report so that I can help you to find the cause and treatment.
No need to worry. Just be relaxed.
Send me her reports.
I will wait for her reports.
