A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please follow: Iron deficiency in children is all-too-common and is cruel & devastating; junior cannot work or play at his best at the very time when he needs to be doing this to continue growing up successfully. If he's not getting dietary iron for whatever reason, or losing blood from somewhere, he's in serious danger. Please get him rechecked and retreated as required.
