Should I Concern The Low Haemoglobin Level?

my 14 month old son has had suspected cows milk allergy since 12weeks resulting in constipation, he has just undergone some investigations (bowel and stomach biopsy) they all came back normal but the results of his bloods showed very low haemoglobin levels, they took more bloods and want to see him in a few weeks, is this anything to worry about and can they correct themselves in this time?

Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
I understand your concern. Low hemoglobin is definitely a problem for a small baby like yours but its not a thing to worry so much about. The problem depends on how low the hemoglobin level is. There are so many reasons for the low hemoglobin in a child and the duration required to correct it also depends on the type. Your doctor did right by doing blood tests which is only way to make a diagnosis why the level is low. Hope all those results come out normal too. Take care.
