I got my father blood report which shows his hemoglobin is 7.6 and he is also a diabetes patient. Now he is too weak to walk. What kind of foods can increase the blood? What should I do? Please help me with a few diet chart and examples.

Low Hb suggests anemia. Focus on iron rich foods: spinach, jaggery, dates, pomegranate, lean meat, and fortified cereals. Include vitamin C (lemon, orange) to boost iron absorption. Monitor sugar in case of diabetes.

Hello Doctor, Almost a month ago, my daughter started complaining of stomachache after every meal and had loose motions about twice a day. Her blood test showed a hemoglobin level of 6.1 g/dL. The doctor advised hemoglobin injections (Vitcofol 10 mL, 5 injections). Even after taking the injections, her hemoglobin only increased to 6.5 g/dL in about a month, and the stomachache persists. She is now taking homeopathic medication for her stomach, which has helped somewhat, but I am still worried about her very low hemoglobin. Kindly suggest what medication can help improve her hemoglobin and what could be the main reason for this condition.
