Hi, you are severely anemic, and iron preparations are not helping. it is better to take iron containing foods and protein and vitamin containing foods will be better. Try to take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, egg, meet , and sea foods, to provide the essential nutrients.
Thank you.
