Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.
In my opinion you should check for blood loss.
If you are female and losing the blood in menses than you should continue iron treatment..
If you are male than look for other source of blood loss.
Losing of blood can only decreases such a low haemoglobin level.
In my advice you should first take injectable iron therapy, thereafter oral iron therapy should be taken.
Iron therapy for at least three month after you reach a normal level of haemoglobin can replenish the iron storage of the body.
I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
