Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that you have got Nutritional Deficiency Anaemia due to low iron levels and tingling in mouth seems to be due to side effect of it..
There can also be Vitamin B12 deficiency leading to the symptoms you have..
I would suggest you to continue taking iron supplements..
Along with it you can also take Vitamin B complex supplements..
Take foods rich in nutrition and add bananas, spinach in your diet..
Take ample of sleep and do not exert much till you start feeling well..
You can also gargle with numbing mouthwash in case if you also have burning sensation in mouth.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
