Patient's question:
How should mild thalassemia in newborns be prevented? Should they be taken to the hospital for treatment? How long does the treatment take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Thalassemia is a genetic disease, and there is currently no way to prevent it. Since the child has been diagnosed with thalassemia, the current treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic blood transfusion support therapy or appropriate traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The severity of the condition depends on the severity of the child's anemia. Amniotic fluid thalassemia screening tests can be performed to detect whether the fetus has thalassemia.Suggestions and Recommendations
I suggest providing the child's age and red blood cell and hemoglobin results to help analyze the severity of the condition.
