Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
He has perciniciou anemia. So he need vitamin B12 injection. Because he can not absorb vitamin B12 in dietary source.
It can be checked by vitamin B12 level in blood.
Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
