In my test report dated 1 August, my iron level was 32, hemoglobin was 12.5, and weight was 58.9 kg. I started taking medicine for iron deficiency. Today I got my test done and my hemoglobin has reduced to 11 and my weight is 58 kg. What is the reason for the reduced weight and hemoglobin? Also, every evening my body temperature rises to 99 to 100. What is the reason?

Fluctuating hemoglobin and low grade fever may indicate underlying infection, inflammation, or poor iron absorption. You should take a CBC with ESR, Ferritin, and CRP test to evaluate inflammation and iron storage.
