Hello,
The risk of bleeding is related to the use of antibiotics. I recommend using Acetaminophen to relieve the pain instead of Aspirin. I see that the patient also have anemia.
I recommend checking the ferritin and sidermia levels to take proper treatment. The treatment consists of iron and vitamin B12 supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
