Iron deficiency is very common in female. It may be due to nutritional deficiency or blood loss. She should take iron rich food and iron tablets. For urinary tract infection shr should take antibiotics like levofloxacin or norfloxacin according to doctor's advice. She should drink plenty of water and also check her sugar level.
