Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
No need to big worry. Person with beta thalassemia trait can leads to normal healthy life. You should regularly check your hemoglobin level. Because any inter current illness leads to fall in your hemoglobin. You can take blood transfusion as and when required. And your son should not marry the girl with beta thalassemia trait.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
