Talk to Pediatrician on Minor Thalassemia With Iron Deficiency
Asking for Other, Female, 4.6 years old, Saudi arab
Plz look upto these reports n suggest if i can give iron supplements to her cuz she is minor thalessemia n also has iron deficiency wat should i do plz guide n explain this condiotion is is harmful for her
Very interesting case.
If all these reports belong to same patient, done at identical times then this may indicate a co-existing Iron deficiency along with Thallesemia Trait. This is uncommon but does exist especially in South Asian children.
You may start your child on Iron supplements but this will need to be closely monitored. I recommend all those test to be repeated including test for Thallesemia in a month time after starting Iron therapy.

Many Toddlers are pocky eaters which is not a major concern as long she is not losing her weight significantly. Start her on green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, red meat along with iron supplements. Pedisure is fine. Thallesemia Trait has no cure, it will stay life long.
