hi
you need to know what is the cause of her hemoglobin to be low like
- not eating well
- any blood disorder
- heavy periods
- having worms
you can increase her diet with alot of green leafy vegetables, dates, beetroot, if you are non veg you can give her liver. these are good blood boosters and she will require blood boaster tablets or syrup as well.
hope to have answered your query
