Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking Health care Magic forum
I have gone through your query.Your Blood results gives the impression of Iron deficiency anemia.Hematocrit is decreased,mean cell volume also decreased-Microcytic anemia.
Have you taken any iron preparations?
If you were my patient i advise Iron tablets with vitamin c and combination of folic acid and Vitamin B12 for a duration of 3 to 6 months.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.I am happy to help you.
Thanks
