Hello
Thanks for the query
Hb of 1.7 is extremely low. I strongly recommend you to approach the ER for blood transfusion and stabilization. Please do not delay it any further. Such low hemoglobin can lead to circulatory failure and death anytime
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
