Hi, Thanks and welcome to HCM. Your results show that MCV and MCH values are low and MCHC and Hb levels are almost normal. You should continue the Iron drops as advised by your doctor for another 6 weeks to correct the existing abnormality and replenishing the Iron store in the liver. Hope this answer will serve your purpose. Please feel free to ask me any more queries. Take care. Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
