Greetings - dont worry- why take so much pain ? you can try syrups that contain iron. pls consult your treating dr and ask for iron syrups like dexorange / etc. hope this helps. Low iron levels can indeed be a cause for unhealthy hair / breakage as well as hair fall. if hair fall persists despite correction of iron stores/anaemia - then furhter evaluation is advisable.
