Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Due to his growth, the dosage is increased in evening. However, both are same drugs.
2. Anemia is important and needs to be treated. Meet a pediatrician and get a complete hemogram done to identify morphological type of anemia and treatment can be started based on it. Specific tests may be necessary, if reticulocyte count does not increase after 15 days of treatment.
3. Diet can also be improved with eggs, fish, green leafy vegetables, red meat etc. It will help in improving anemia.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
