Many different causes of anemia so depends on this. Most likely is iron deficient anemia or thalassemia minor.
It depends on the cause of the anemia which her doctor should be able to determine with laboratory tests. If it's due to lack of iron (most common cause in women), or a vitamin deficiency, then it certainly can be easily fixed. If it's due to some other disease process (e.g. sickle cell anemia, or God forbid, some sort of cancer or leukemia) then this can be more difficult to fix. She first needs a determination of what's causing the anemia and this should be done very soon by her healthcare provider. Dave Godon To improve the health of the communities we serve.

Yea, anemia can be fixed. First, it’s important to know what type of anemia your daughter has and treated accordingly. Please, consult a hematologist who will be able to do a complete work up and give you a better assessment on her condition. There are different types of anemia and the root causes needs to be investigated. Anemia can be due to a bleeding issue or production issue (red blood cells), and the treatment is totally different.
