Patient's question:
My good friend's child has been suffering from thalassemia since birth. I heard that thalassemia requires treatment. Their family has alpha-thalassemia. Hello, is this disease serious?Doctor's answer:
It is relatively common for infants and young children to experience recurrent cases of thalassemia, often influenced by intergenerational genetic factors. If the baby has a mild A-type thalassemia, it is generally not necessary to seek treatment. However, a comprehensive evaluation should still be conducted based on other physical indicators of the child. Therefore, it is recommended that parents consult with professional doctors at a reputable hospital. In daily life, fresh fruits and vegetables can be given to the child.
