A member asked:
My 4 yo had cbc. his hgb was on low end of normal at 11.2. she suggested vitamins with iron. i'm very concerned. is this normal? could it be serious?

Low hb : low Hb could mean many things. The most common reason is iron deficiency due to inadequate nutrition that contains iron. High iron content diet and supplement can help a lot. The fact it is 11.2 is not really that low. So probably increasing iron intake will take care of it. Good luck
