Brief Answer:
Start with semisolid diet.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the report you have attached.
I have gone through the history you have mentioned.
In my opinion, she should take semisolid to liquid diet for 2 days.
This includes khichadi - curd, rice - curd, fruit juices like apple, orange, pomegranate juices.
She can also take vanilla ice cream as this will be good for acidity.
Better to give her home made and freshly prepared foods.
Avoid milk, wheat, oily and spicy food.
Along with all these, also give ORS (oral rehydration solution) with Zinc tablet.
About physiotherapy, she can do chest physiotherapy in the form of incentive spirometry and deep breathing exercises.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

Continue with neurobion Forte tablet.

Detailed Answer:

I can understand your concern.
Don't give any iron tablet for low hemoglobin at present as iron tablets can cause gastritis, vomiting, diarrhoea.
Start neurobion Forte tablet instead of injection

Give her water based juice containing beetroot, anjeer(1-2) , spinach leaves, date (1-2).
Prepare 1 glass of this juice and give her daily in morning.
Get done hemoglobin levels after 1 month.

Brief Answer:
No, don't take Intravenous.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
No, it can not be given Intravenous directly.
You can give it intravenously after diluting it in pint.
And best place for IM injection is gluteal region.
Better to use alternate buttock.
She can replace injection by taking oral neurobion Forte tablet.
At present where she is taking injection?
Do you think there is any swelling or Redness or pain at injection site?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
