Brief Answer:
yes, continue iron and folic acid

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

What is your hemoglodin level? Do you have heavy periods? Do you bleed from any other site? Have you got done Hb electrophoresis?

Treat the cause of anemia first.. If Hb is low, iron tablet can be taken twice daily and folic acid. Take iron rich food like papaya, dates, liver,spinach and for folic acid include green leafy vegetables in your diet.. Curd and vitamin tables supply Vit B12 which is also necessary for blood formation..

Hope I have answered your queries.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
