Low hemoglobin
My mother's hemoglobin was 6.7 on 24th June however after again a recheck on 29th June,it reached 7.6,I changed her diet and started giving her food that helps in formation of hemoglobin from 24th ,my doctor suggested for blood transfusion with 1 pint even after seeing the increased hemoglobin, the problem is I am afraid to visit hospitals right now due to risk of corona and other infections, my mother has weak immunity due to pre-existing conditions like thyriod, diabetes, blood pressure ,please suggest me what should be done,should I wait to cover up the hemoglobin with good diet or should I get her transfused?

You need to know why her haemoglobin is so low. Is it because she has heavy menses thats leading to blood loss or any other reason
You can start her with double dose of iron tablets
The effect will start coming after 3 weeks
