Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule, comes in some normal and some abnormal. Normal hemoglobin carries and releases oxygen properly, while abnormal hemoglobin doesn't. Abnormal pattern of hemoglobin suggest Hemoglobinopathy such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. My dear friend, I suggest you to follow your doctor to rule out these disorders in your child so that kids with these disorders can be diagnosed, monitored, and treated early to prevent potentially life-threatening complications. Thanx for query and keep in touch.
