What Causes Low Hemoglobin Levels And Vomiting?

My son is approx. 8 years and he plays lot of sports. He is having habit of playing sports all time...indoor outdoor both. His weight is approx. 29kg. He looks very lean and yellowish pale. His hemoglobin count is 10.5. He vomits many time early morning just before going school. Sometime he vomits in school as well. He sometimes reports stomach pain as well. His diet is Ok types. But he does not enjoy food at home. I consulted many doctors. As per them, it is not serious problem. They suggest to give me lots of water and fresh fruits/vegetables. No tests are required. I am attaching one ultra sound report taken few months back. Please suggest if anything noticeable in ultrasound which could be related to my son health.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the health problems your 8 years old son is going through.

Being anemic at his age is suggesting 2 main factors:
1. intestinal parasites: get him a stool examination done
2. Bad diet: you say he is following an OK diet but not enjoying home food (?)

So far no lab report is in. You can send directly to me so I can analyze the reports further.

Vomiting early in the morning just before going to school might be psychological especially if he does not enjoy going to school. Psychologist to consult further.

Hope this helps.
