Low red blood count

Hello moms! I recently got my blood test result back and turns out I have a low red blood cell count. I’m supposed to see my gynae in a week’s time for review of those results and NIPT result. But would like to know if there are any tips to increase red blood cell count by changing diet, instead of just depending on iron supplement? I also have a fear/phobia of swallowing pills/tablets/capsules, so any clue if gynae can prescribe some sort of iron supplement in the form of liquid? Thank you in advanced!

Hi there! I actually haven’t seen my gynae yet after the results came out, as I saw it through the NUHS app. Looked through my thalassemia test results and it says ‘no abnormal bands detected’ and it’s been a week since the results came out and the hospital didn’t call me to get my husband to get any tests done so I assume that we’re in the clear for now. We’re meeting our gynae in a week’s time to go through all results + our NIPT result so I’ll update!! Take care mama!
