Four year old with hot feet

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.

Hot / Burning feet is not associated with thalassemia. Check with your doctor for other reasons.

iron-overload can also cause hot feet and hands ... i remember  burining feet and warm hands, when my ferritin was high...

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.
 

haemolysis, high bilirubin in thals due to RBC breakdown and dehydration cause that. Whenever I feel warmth coming out of my hands and feet I drink  large glasses of cold water and then its gone.
