Hi
you need proper diagnosis first. Only taking iron rich foid does not make it normal.first go for the cbc and ps examination. diagnosed that which kind of anemia you have. And then take treatment accordingly. If it is iron deficiency anemia then take oral or injectable iron with iron rich food. If it is other type then take treatment accordingly.
