Children around age of puberty tend to have fall in hemoglobin due to onset of menstruation. It leads to increased blood loss and increased demand of Iron.
I would suggest following
1. Deworm her with Albendazole
2. Start her on multi vitamins and Hematinics
There is no need to be worried about
Do get back to me for further queries
