Hi Doctor,
We have not encountered any kind of problem, actually my wife is Thalasemia Minor so our doctor advised us to get the blood tests done for my son aged 2yrs.
I just want your input on the findings in blood investigations.

The Peripheral blood film findings and The Electrophoresis reports depicting level of modest elevation of HbA2 and HbF are characteristic og Thalassemia Minor.
The disease is a genetic problem with recessive trait where beta chain of Hb is faulty.
These patients tend to have hemolysis when sick due to some other illnesses otherwise they are asymptomatic.
Another important finding is low serum iron levels.
It can result in add up to the trouble.
You should give Iron replacement oral in form of iron drops in supervision of a local physician.
I hope you would get benefited with my advise.
Wish you a good health.
