hi,
thank you for your query.
the problem you are experiencing are due to deficiency or vitamin b12.also called as megaloblastic anaemia..
hence i would suggest you to increase your intake of green leafy vegetables,fruits, also start taking B12 tablets.they need to be taken for minimum of a month for the symptoms to improve.
by following the above your symptoms will mostly improve in a month.
thank you,
wishing you good health
