Hi, We have recently been through a similar problem. Has he had blood tests for caeliacs disease? Has he been wormed recently? Do you give him a formula? Is he still having bottles or a dummy as these items will introduce more germs to your son. Take care hope this helps

thank you for the advice. he was under antibiotics for 7 days along with dexorange to improve his hemoglobin. now he has recovered and the doctor has advised to continue with the dexorange for atleast 2 months.

Children pass along germs and infections, could he be getting it from an older sibling who is at school, they do get a lot and bring them home .,or is he in daycare or preschool himself and catching it from others .?At this age you can get him onto a good food supplement to build up his immune system, anti oxidants VitC and Vit B complex.If he continually gets a fever he should go back to the doctor for further tests good luck
