How is thalassemia treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, thalassemia is needed. The child's condition has been like this for a while, and I dare not give them medicine. Please give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Thalassemia, also known as Mediterranean anemia, is a group of hereditary hemolytic anemias. A few key nursing points for patients include providing them with nutrient-rich, high-calorie, high-protein, and multi-vitamin diets that are rich in minerals to help restore hematopoietic function. During illness, it is important to maintain good health, avoid overexertion, and engage in regular exercise to enhance immunity. In the later stages of treatment for megaloblastic anemia, a relative iron deficiency may occur, so it is necessary to supplement iron promptly.
