She may have other deficiencies such as iron. Blood work up needs to be done before giving any medicines. Do not self medicate. For any queries, book an online consultation with me. I am a lactation consultant, IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) nutrition expert with an interest in Childhood Infections and Vaccinations. Take care!
