Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Aplastic anemia is a bone marrow disorder commonly due to megaloblastic anemia.
2. Vit B12 should show improvement if it is secondary to megaloblastic anemia.
3. If oral Vit B12 is not helping, Vit B12 shots will be helpful. Take a nutritious diet. If other cells are responding, this will also improve. If you have any infection, better to take a granulocyte infusion till WBC improves to avoid risking any critical infections.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
