Question
How should children with thalassemia be treated? Parents have been concerned about their child’s condition for some time but are hesitant to administer medication due to concerns about side effects, and they hope to receive professional medical advice.
Answer
Thalassemia, also known as marine anemia, is a hereditary hemolytic anemia. When treating this condition, it is important to pay attention to the following nursing points: Provide patients with a diet rich in nutrition and high in calories, high in protein, abundant in vitamins, and rich in inorganic salts to help restore hematopoietic function. During the illness, patients need to take good care of themselves, avoid overexertion, and regularly engage in physical exercise to enhance their immunity. In the later stage of treatment for megaloblastic anemia, there may be a relative iron deficiency, at which point it is important to supplement iron promptly.
