Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi...please do not worry. If your son is normal clinically and is actively playing around, these results of high blood count doesn't mean anything. The lab report about polychromasia means that he might be having iron deficiency anemia. I suggest you get back to me with the actual hemoglobin value which would have been mentioned in the report, so that i will be able to suggest you a proper iron preparation. If as per country's laws iron is not an over the counter medication, please consult your pediatrician.
