Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
As the Hb is 9 gms% he is more prone to infections.
Suppliment with oral Iron and give diet containing Iron for a period of 2 moths to make up hemoglobin and replenishing the Iron stores.
Chronic low grade infection and frequent congestion of the points to chronic infection like tuberculosis.
Better consult pediatrician and rule out or confirm TB.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
