I'm a bit worried because I need to have an operation soon, and my haemoglobin level is only at 9.7. Do you have any advice on how I can raise it quickly?

I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablets once daily. Additionally, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can also help with iron absorption, so consider taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming foods high in Vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery and hemoglobin production.
