Question
Based on the above information, if both parents do not have a family history of thalassemia, is the likelihood of the child having the disease high?
Answer
According to the situation you described, the 9-year-old child suddenly experienced a headache and yellow skin without color, accompanied by nausea and palpitations two days ago. Although neither parent has a family history of thalassemia, this does not necessarily mean that the likelihood of the child having the disease is low. It is recommended to have a blood test to confirm whether it is thalassemia. Pay attention to rest, and if the child shows signs of anemia, consider medication for adjustment.
