My Son is 11 months old and diagnosed with thalaesemia minor. Anyone has experience? He was fully breastfeed for 6 months and currently mixed with fm and 2 times solid. Doctor said could be inherited and he is my 3rd child. 2 of my elder kids do not have this problems. My Husband and I never test. He is on iron drop and multivitamin. Diagnosed by KKH. He was supposed to test for Lung infection during 9 months old but tested for anemia (thalaesemia) doctor said will do a through check when he is 1 year old plus for accuracy. What do you do to help the child? I am trying hard to feed him with more green vege but he refused

I have Thalassemia Minor, inherited it from my mum. Growing up, I didn't have any special treatment/supplement to take - but I'm not sure about it now! I only found out when I was 16 after some blood test (wasn't intentional testing, just a "oops, by the way" thing). Generally, Thalassemia Minor is no big issue - just that the blood cells are not regular shaped, but in all sorts of irregular shapes and sizes, sometimes fragmented ones too. To take care, just make sure that there is enough iron for your child - be it from food or supplements! I don't know if it's true or not, but I've been told (don't remember from who) that couldn't donate blood because my blood can negatively impact a person who doesn't have Thalassemia/blood deficiency - but I can receive blood from anyone. One side note would be that in the future, he/she has to get his/her future partner to get tested for Thalassemia too - because two Thalassemia Minor can create a child with Thalassemia Major, which may result in birth defects or complications for their future child.

i would like to know more too. My 22 mo is suspected with thaleesemia. even the test comes out negative. the doc still insist as he has enlarged spleen. Mummy shld have been detected with all the pregnancy blood test. It could be from husband side. I am prescribed with the iron drops but he is rejected it. so i sourced for iron rich food. Beef, leafy green. whatever i can, i will try
