reports are normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the reports.
Hemoglobin is low normal. Needs continuation of iron syrup for atleast 3 months more.
Rest of the report is Normal including the lymphocyte count.
To prevent frequent viral fever if is better to take flu vaccine every year.
This might prevent many cold attacks
Wishing your son good health.
