What Causes Fall In The Hemoglobin Level After Blood Transfusion?

Hello doc, i have a one year old baby. She has got high crp levels more than 90 mg/l. My pediatrician has given her some injections. Two months back her tlc was high more than 22,000.. she used to get fever sometimes 103 and 104F before getting treated. When cbc was done her hemoglobin was only 6.. then she got blood transfusion aftr which her hemoglobin was 16.. but now again her hemoglobin has got down to 10 after two months. What is causing this..?? I m really worried abut her?? Please help me.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your baby has low hemoglobin level. He should go for peripheral smear examination to search for the cause of anemia. He may have iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency or some blood loss due to parasitic infection. He should also go for anemia profile and stool occult blood test. Search the cause of anemia and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
