Low haemoglobin
I recently got checked for haemoglobin n it came out to be 10.1 which indicates i'm anaemic. my doctor gave me haematin syrup. my question is how does he know without checking that it is dietary anaemia coz it could be something else. will this syrup increase my haemoglobin levels n how much time would it take.? how does it effect my face coz he just looking at my face told me to get a hgb test done.
