What to do about alpha thalassemia trait (minor) with asthama?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing: Alpha thal minor is uttery trivial. Manage your asthma and if you choose to marry, be aware of your alpha-thal and the risk that marrying someone else with the same condition puts your children at risk.

Not a problem: Alpha thal trait should not affect any asthma symptoms. If you have any complicaions, you should investigate with your doctor. Good luck
