Title: Four year old with hot feet
Post by: rwsorensen on July 23, 2015, 01:04:43 PM: Hello everyone,

I have thalassemia beta minor. I have four children but haven't had any blood tests to see if they have it. I have a four year old who has complained for most of his life about having hot feet, and was wondering if this was a symptom. Has anyone experienced this? The hot feet keep him up sometimes at night and even durig the day it irritates him pretty bad.

hello rwsorensen
it may be due to many reasons,
simple tip from color therapy- just put blue color on tips of middle and ring fingers of both hands for three days , then let me know how it worked.
