Welcome to H.C.M.I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
Common cause of Microcytic Hypochromic anemia with anisopoikilocytosis and leukocytosis is Iron deficiency anemia.
I think that your son is first time diagnosed of anemia .No need to worry because it is completely curable. He will be fine soon.
Take care of his diet because diet should be rich in iron.
Repeat complete blood count with peripheral blood film to see proper recovery of your son from anemia.
Thanx for query.
