Thanks for writing back,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
Findings doesn't confirm thalassemia trait.
She is only having mild anemia.It may be due to iron deficiency.

DNA typing may be needed in certain cases if necessary.
In short,it is not serious.She may only need iron supplemetation.
