Don't take iron syrups.
You can fulfill your iron requirements through diet.
Take iron rich foods.

Hi! instead of taking iron syrup go for iron rich diet.
Some of iron rich foods are rice flakes(poha), beet root , pomegranate , lotus stem, Bhuna Chana , fish, raisins ,kidney beans, fenugreek seeds,organ meat....
_____________________
Some tips I would like to give u to increase haemoglobin are :
# do not forget to include vitamin C rich food with iron rich , as it act as enhancer for absorption of iron . Example u can squeeze lemon over iron rich diets....
# Try to include poha at least thrice a week and dont forget to squeeze lemon on it.
# Include mixed juice of pomegranate , beetroot in your diet.
# Try to replace sugar with jaggery as it is a rich source of iron. Or can also have jaggery with your meals.
# Avoid drinking tea and coffee immediately after the meal as they restrict absorption of iron from meal.
# you can add methi leaves or bathua into flour you use to increase iron content of chapati.
I hope all this information help you.if any query be free to ask :)
DISCLAIMER : If have any other medical issue tips will change in that case.

Hello. As your hemoglobin is very low, instead of going for any syrups, it is advisable to consult a physician to evaluate the condition and prescribe medication. Low hemoglobin may not always be due to iron deficiency. There could be other underlying causes.
