Any GP / haemotologists available to help?

Hi

Dd had a blood test about 3cweeks ago, it identified low iron levels. Had follow up test and GP has rung to say iron levels still very low (7. Something) and ferratin level has dropped by a small amount to 2.

GP wants another blood test in 2 weeks, dd is goi g to take iron medication with fresh orange to boost absorption.

I know the levels are low, but Google isn't really clear on how low and if they are indicators of anything more serious.

The GP did sound quite concerned and said he would be speaking to the hematologist. Can anyone help me with regards to what these stats might imply?

Thanks in advance.
