Brief Answer:
Livogen Z might be causing the problem.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

Livogen Z is an iron supplement and it frequently causes stomach upset.

So, for a few days you can ask her to skip the tablet and wait.

For hard stools, i usually add Syp Duphalac 15 ml in night in such case scenario.

I am hopeful, by following these measures, she would get relief.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
Acidity is the probable reason.

Detailed Answer:
Stomach upset is just because of acidity. Levogen can aggravate it.

Soft food includes daliya, khichdi , breads.

In my opinion stop Levogen for a few days and see response.

It can be started after 5 days, if you find no difference after stopping Levogen.

Still, if the problem persists, get her Liver function test and Ultrasound Abdomen.

Good Luck.

Brief Answer:
No other treatment required.

Detailed Answer:
I have evaluated the reports and no as such special treatment modification is required. Your doctors are treating her very well.

Just give her green leafy vegetables and pomegranate as they are rich in iron and as we are transiently stopping the iron supplement.

Best wishes.
