Hb 5.6 is too low, and you definitely need some treatment other than tonic. Though iron deficiency is the most common cause for anemia, but there are other important and serious causes of anemia including thalssemia and hemolytic anemia, which must be ruled out by clinical examination and proper blood tests.
