Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

There are many reason for such a high degree anemia.

There is need for detail investigation to diagnose the exact cause. I advice you should attend nearby doctor to diagnose exactly.

Though you have taken the blood transfusions, such a low HB requires some time to come to normal level.

So from now your can start the injectable iron therapy. Continue it until your HB reaches a over 10 gm there after oral iron therapy till HB reaches to normal level is suffice.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
