Hi,
Welcome to the HCM
Hypochromic and microcytic RBC in blood report can indicate low haemoglobin in red cells .Low haemoglobin in red cells can be because of low iron or genetic disorder of haemoglobin structure .
Neutrophilia in blood report indicate that raised neutrophils( white blood cells) and can occur in bacterial infection.
Since bacterial infection can be treated with antibiotic course prescibed by doctor.
To rule out cause of low haemoglobin you may get HB electrophoresis and serum ferritin tests done to diagnose wether it because of low haemoglobin or structural disorder.
