Hi rania,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Nutritional deficiency secondary to improper diet is the main cause.
2. Diet needs to be rich in ragi, egg, fish, lean meat and green leafy vegetables. Complex carbohydrates should be a part of the diet.
3. Its only mildly reduced. Also additionally, she will require Vit B12 supplements. She can take B-complex supplements.
4. Concentrate on her diet. Hemoglobin is only mildly reduced. Not to worry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
