Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
There are many causes of anemia. Iron deficiency, b12 deficiency or blood loss are the most common cause of anemia. She may have any of them. Some heavy infection can also leads to anemia. You should go for complete blood count and peripherals smear examination. Confirm the cause of anemia and start treatment accordingly.
