Congenital anemia: congenital means 'present at birth', and anemia means abnormal hemoglobin / red blood cells. There are different forms, hereditary and acquired, space isn't sufficient to explain, your best bet is to see your pediatrician for evaluation, common diseases are common and rare diseases are rare, good luck

Incompete data: Congenital=present at birth,anemia=low blood cell count. This could be something as simple as not getting enough blood back from the placenta during delivery, a condition where the blood is not being made or a condition where the blood is breaking down at an excessive rate. The label is ambiguous & does not give a clue what has happened.Treatment and prognosis vary with the cause.Confer with doc
