What to do about resting thalassemia minor

Resting thalassemia minor generally does not require special treatment. Patients with resting thalassemia carry the thalassemia gene themselves, but they do not develop the disease, do not have any clinical symptoms, and do not affect growth and development, so they generally do not need special treatment. Normally, it is necessary to increase the intake of folic acid and vitamin B12, which can improve anemia and promote the maturation of red blood cells; eat more protein-containing foods such as milk and eggs, which can provide energy and immunity; exercise properly to improve physical fitness; and ensure sufficient sleep, which can give the brain sufficient rest and promote the circulation of the blood system. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
