Need normal values for your lab. They vary across labs. Your local Dr will be able to help by looking at u and daughter & labs. They will know what is normal in folks like you who live where you live.

You both likely have thalassemia minor. However your low hemoglobin needs to be addressed and it would be prudent to consult a hematologist, at your convenience. Wish you both good health!
