In anaemia oxygen carrying capacity of blood is greatly reduced. Hence fatigue and head ache Give her Capsule Livogen once daily for 3-6 months after food.
The reason for anaemia could be worms , piles or excessive bleeding during periods.
Give her tablet Zentel once weekly for 2 weeks.
Repeat Hb count after 2 months. If not much improved , consult a gynaecologist.
