Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

The hemoglobin levels is low for age and sex.
This implies that you are suffering from anemia.
MCV, MCH and MCHC are all low.
This implies that red blood cells are microcytic and hypochromic.
This is most commonly associated with iron deficiency anemia.
You need to get peripheral blood smear examination, serum iron levels, TIBC and ferritin levels.
You need to consult a physician for prescription of investigations and thus management.
Treatment of iron deficiency anemia is iron supplementation and to treat the underlying cause of iron deficiency.

Thanks and take care
