Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mother's hemoglobin is 5 g/dL. Her feet and face are swollen, what do I do?
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.
Hemoglobin of 5 g% is very low and an indication for blood transfusion.
As you are saying her face is swollen, she might be landing into a heart failure.
There are multiple causes of severe anemia.
She requires admission and evaluation.
