your child has been given antibiotics with all possible pathogen for septicemia, but to be more specific you can go for blood culture and sensitivity testing ... this will guide you for antibiotics..
and ya after he is out from any infection you can start iron and vitamins drops which will take care of hemoglobin but if hb falls down rapidly during illness he may need blood transfusion..
