Dear Doctor,
Thanks for the reply.
Would you please suggest any corrective actions to be adopted by the boy whose Hb level is 12.5.
Is it a symbol of animic metabolism?
We seek your advice on the matter.

Brief Answer:
As of no treatment is required.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
The only problem that thalssemia carriers experience is mild anemia,
In this case 12.5 is quite normal and no treatment is required.
If the hemoglobin falls below 11, he can take iron suppliments.
Include more iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables in his diet.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
