Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
Look, the hemoglobin is very low with low MCV and MCH value indicating a microcytic hypochromic anemia. Now, this type of features are seen in many abnormal hemoglobin patterns. So, HPLC study of hemoglobin should be done after 6 months of age.
Apart from this, there is jaundice. For this, you have to consult with a pediatrician for clinical correlation.
