A member asked:

My doctor said my babies body will be able to produce blood from her bone when he in 6 months old. then may be her hb e/beta thall will improve.advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Beta that is stable, the blood count stays low but that is the persons natural state. There are no symptoms, and no effort should be made to raise the count - that can be dangerous. But please see a hematologist with your child to be sure that this is really beta thal and not one of the more unusual blood conditions that mimic it.
