Any iron medication will have nausea and vomiting sensation, youll have to try different brands and see which is suitable for her, in case none of the medication suits, youll have to try iron syrups, if that doesnt work, increase iron rich food and monthly monitoring of hemoglobin, in and around 9th month if the hemoglobin is still low then have to get iron injections if hemoglobin is too low then probably blood transfusion.
Next Steps
Try orofer xt or ferronia xt
