QUESTION OF THE DAY

These are questions asked by our viewers to the experts on the panel of Pediatric Oncall.

This 20 months old boy presented with history of pallor for long time, he was given iron therapy for about 3 months after doing hemoglobin and found it 8.5 gm/dl. Now his CBC is Hemoglobin is 10, HCT 33, MCV 77, MCH 23, Reticulocytes 1.1, RDW 12.7, PLT 346,000, WBC 7,000. Is it still iron deficiency? Why it was not corrected after iron therapy {proper dose} and why the reticulocyte count isn't increasing?

Can carminatives be prescribed in acute diarrhea?
