Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage
First of all, patient has to go back to the operating room for control of hemorrhage. Tests for coagulation should be done and abnormal ones corrected. If coagulation tests are normal and the bleeders have been stopped, the anemia may be corrected with oral or IV iron.

Regards,
