Depends on…: Type of thalassemia u have: alpha, beta, major, minor. If beta major, there's the possibility of abnormal bone structure in face & skull, increased risk of infection, enlarged spleen that may rupture easily with blows to abdomen. See fp or hematologist to learn which type u have & what complications u may expect.
