Hi, its all depends on your hb level that how many days it takes to become normal.if you want to improve that faster then you can take injectable iron. First your iron will be used to make hb. Then it is stored.so ferritin level increase there after.take high iron containing foog like jeggary, Green leafy vegetables and dry fruits.
