Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern

1. It probably looks a picture of anemia i.e. a case of microcytic hypochromic anemia probably iron deficiency anemia [IDA] since other peripheral smear is normal, so do check with Ferrokinetics [serum iron, total iron binding capacity]

2. Consult a pathologist/hematologist to exclude common causes of IDA: nutritional deficiency,chronic blood loss [worms,piles,ulcer,menorrhagia], increased demand during pregnancy,lactation since management will depend upon the cause.
