hi,
welcome to this forum.

Decrease in red blood cells in a 5 year old child can be due to nutritional anaemia, hemolytic anaemia, bone marrow suppression.

You should do blood test like complete blood count with peripheral smear, bone marrow examination, hemoglobin electrophoresis.

Bone marrow examination is mandatory and should be done at this age.

The treatment of child will depend upon the above reports. You should immediately go for about tests.

I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
