question: Hello doctor, My mother is 67 years old with 58 kgs and is about 5' 4" tall. She is diabetic and hypertensive and also suffered from depression about 6 to 7 years back. And now she is better. Her hemoglobin levels were low when we tested about three months back about 10.9, and the doctor started her on Orofer XT. Now it has come to 11.9. Also, she has been given two vitamin B12 vaccinations in the past four days. She has been complaining of mouth sores on her tongue and under the tongue, which prevents her from eating anything spicy. The dentist two feels that it could be because of deficiencies. I am attaching her latest iron profile and haemogram. Please let us know if all is fine and also can you get slow healing sores due to deficiencies.
