Suggest Treatment For Low HB Level And Persistent Cough

Hi doctor, I am a Jordanian mother. my baby is now 3 months and 26 days old. his weight: 6.200. we did him a CBC before two days and the Hemoglobin was 8.2 only (is it normal?). shall I give him iron as the Maltofer for example and the baby vitamins? the recent problem that continued for two weeks is that he coughs and he exhales difficultly. his doctor told us that he has simple Bronchitis and he should take the mentol three times a day and use the nasal Apisal and take the Suprax one time a day. do you advise me doctor to continue giving him this medicine? is there something more effective. please help me. moreover, he has gas and colic since he was born so I give him the (S26/ LF) milk beside the breast feeding is it OK or not. I need your advice and I will follow what you say.

Hi,

For the cough, I recommend to continue his medication that was prescribed by his doc., for the low HB level. I do not recommend to give him anything as it will be corrected by itself as he grows up.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
