after correction of anemia continue 3 month iron therapy
continue same medicine for 3months
Continue with iron supplement .It takes couple of months till the body iron is replenished completely
Haemoglobin is in normal range so u can stop iron Syp. Do not worry about iron and TIBC as they are just marginally raised . Ensure good intake of iron rich food. No tea with meals for kids
