A. Babyhug# Doctors use three standard treatments for moderate and severe forms of thalassemia. These treatments include blood transfusions, iron chelation (ke-LAY-shun) therapy, and folic acid supplements. Other treatments have been developed or are being tested, but they're used much less often. Alpha thalassemia major, the most severe form of alpha thalassemia. If this is diagnosed before your child is born, your baby can have a blood transfusion while still in the womb, which is needed for survival. Kids with this condition will need ongoing blood transfusions and long-term monitoring and care.
