Hi...by what you quote this seems to be a nutritional anaemia, but to be specific he needs to be investigated further. The test I recommend would be Haemoglobin electrophoresis, haemoglobin indices and serum folic acid and B12 levels. With so low haemoglobin (5.4g%), he might even require a blood transfusion. Once diagnosis of nutritional anaemia is made it is treatable.
