Can Livogen Be Taken To Cure Anemia Causing Weakness And Fatigue After Having Malaria?

I'm having lot of weakness and fatigue. I had malaria about 3 weeks back and took the full course. But the blood report showed anemia. So the doctor asked me to eat leafy veggies and khajur etc. Can i also take livogen to help anemia? I am 38 years old and have two children, 8 & 5 (both c-section).

Hello dear,
I guess you had no history of any other medical illnesses,and not on any medications.
Then,you can take iron tablets once daily for few weeks to get anemia corrected(malaria causes destruction of RBCs).There can be mild gastric upset for initial few days-you need not worry.Take enough water with it.
Hope you got cleared.Thank you.
