Your low hemoglobin is most likely due to iron deficiency, not something very serious, but you must continue iron therapy and check the cause. A repeat CBC and iron studies after 2–3 months is advisable.
Continue iron tablets regularly for at least 3–6 months (even after hemoglobin becomes normal) to build iron stores.
Eat iron-rich foods: green leafy vegetables, jaggery, dates, pomegranate, beans, meat, liver, fish, eggs.
Take vitamin C (like lemon, orange) along with iron for better absorption.
Avoid tea/coffee with meals (they reduce iron absorption).
If you have heavy periods, blood in stools, persistent tiredness, or dizziness, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
