hello,
anaemia is corrected with iron , folic acid or vitamin b12 depending on the severity and type of anaemia.
you will have to take a course for atleast 3 months till your body stores are replenished even after your hemoglobin levels return to normal.
i hope i have answered your query.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Now that your blood hemoglobin levels have come back to 13, now you need to replenish your iron stores in the body . You need to continue the therapy for at least two months more with a good protein in the diet.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
