See dr again!: The increased ESR may be caused by the anemia. However, the hemoglobin of 7 is quite low. If you know these results i suspect you learned them from the dr's office; what does your doctor plan to do? The reason for his anemia must be further evaluated and needs to be treated once the cause is identified.

Needs more tests: I would follow up with your doctor today. Your son needs more tests. This could be something very serious. You may need a blood doctor to help determine the cause and treatment of the low hemoglobin. Please call your pediatrician today. They can help you find the right doctors.
