Iron deficiency anemia, follow-up
November 2026: Doing well.
• Hemoglobin improving on iron
• Taking iron most days
• Side effects: none
• Milk intake within the limit and eating more iron-rich foods
• Continue iron to refill the iron stores
• Follow up in 2 months to recheck the hemoglobin and ferritin

Continuing iron until the iron stores are full lowers the chance of the anemia coming back, and keeping milk within the limit helps prevent it. Caregiver expressed understanding and agreement with plan. Answered all questions.
