to a month has been diagnosed with anemia. Possibly due to severe nosebleeds. His hemogloban level has dropped to 8 or 9 .He has been running a fever on and off , along bouts of dirreah. We have taken him to the emergency room a couple of times in the past month , besides trips to the Doctor. He was supposed to be admitted ,because his hemagloban level was low ,but he was sent home. The doctor at the hospital prescribed ferrous sulfate for him to take, but told me to wait 2 days ,because he was diagnosed with an infection ,but they can 't say what kind,because they don't know what type of infection it is .Finally , after a month ,a smear test has been done with 4 different vials , so they can finally see what type of infection it is before they can prescribe him something. In the interim of things ,my child has lost atotal of 24 pounds, of which he has gained a pound and half , since he has started to eat again. Some of the symptoms have subsided , We NEED HELP! PLEASE !
