Hello,
β-thalassemia trait is characterized by mild anemia. Since there was requirement of blood transfusion once in your child thus there is nothing to worry. However, monitoring of hemoglobin at regular intervals is recommended.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
