Hello,

Welcome and thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Iron pills do not cause fever, but it can cause tummy upset and change in bowel habits and color.
The fainting and dizziness and fever may be due to a viral fever. If the fever persists, she should see a doctor.
Iron is not required now, if she is not anemic.
Best wishes,
Dr. Noble Zachariah
