Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Anemia

Hello, my mom is coughing a lot since last month. And she went to the doctor they said that she had low hemoglobin. So they told her that she had anemia. But her cough is really worrying me because she has trouble to breathe, her heart goes faster when she goes up stairs more than normal, She can hear the sound of her lungs and she has trouble to go to sleep because she loses air. She s convinced that is some alergy because from where I live there s a lot of humidity. She doesn t smoke by the way. It has been going this way since last month, i m really worried.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has anemia. Her respiratory problem is due to low hemoglobin. She should take treatment of anemia.
First of all she should search the cause of anemia. She may have iron or vitamin b12 deficiency or chronic blood loss. She should go for complete blood count, peripheral smear examination & anemia profile. She should also go for ultrasound abdomen to rule out the cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. The she should take treatment according to cause.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
