Suggest Remedies For Anemia With Lethargy In Spite Of Taking Medication
My 15 year old daughter has been diagnosed anaemic & prescribed iron tablets. She has been taking them for 10 days but seems no better, if anything she seems even more tired. How long before we see an improvement? Or should I take her back to the doctor?

it takes an average of a month for iron difficiency anemia to start improving
repeat her tests after one month of treatement and if still there is no improvement the you need to perform haemoglobin electrophoresis to determine the cause
