A member asked:
My daughter had strep and teething, didn't eat very much last two days. she has iron blood test for wic today..should i take her still?

Yes: Her hemoglobin or hematocrit, which is what wic tests for, will not be changed by an acute illness. Now, if she is not feeling very good and you don't want to drag her out, that's another kettle of fish, but the lab results won't be any different today or next week.

Take her for test: It is important for her to have this test.Her recent illness and her not eating well for a few days will not effect her results.
