• Answer:

  The reports say: a. the iron in blood is less -( 1) should be ~ 12-13. b.the infection fighting mechanism is/was in full swing, [high values of (2) (8)&(10). As the child is weak, coughing, & having congestion in lungs, the problem since 30 days had not come down.[ Is the child old enough do breathing exercises?- age height, weight are missing in the sheet] The doctor could have considered these aspects, if accessible ask him about Fe- Zn-B complex tonic/s as supplements, & better diets. Mostly the betadine should do the decongestion, or he may advice alternate tablets also. In any case, even a second doctor's opinion can be sought In any case pl. do not delay, allow the case to weaken the child further. give him plenty of fresh & dry fruits[badam, pista are good-, so also badam- milk] & water.
