Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My brother has thalassemia intermedia. His Hb is between 7.8 to 9. Please suggest how soon he can recover from this.

Hello,

Welcome to the icliniq.com.

Thalassemia intermedia is severe as compare to thalassemia minor. In this condition, episodic blood transfusion is needed, especially during childhood. Your brother can be prescribed iron tablets if there is no improvement then blood transfusion might be required. I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
