7 years? Haba people still make this mistake?
Anyways, you need to see a pediatrician who can help you out. I must warn you, It's gonna be a long bumpy ride but God will see you through.

He'll need to be on routine drugs...folic acid especially.
You also prevent him from malaria and avoid stress.

Keep him away from junk food, vegetables and fish are highly recommended, vitamins and folic acid intake must be on a daily basis, keep away from high energy exerting activities, mosquito nets must be around to lessen malaria attacks and make sure you have a pediatrician who will manage him.

Though the road ahead will be bumpy but good management will be very key. My elder brother is a carrier of sickle cell and the journey wasn't a joke but we pulled through as a family, today he is married with kids who are AS.

There was a topic here by one sickle cell guy which ran for yrs I think.
The guy has deactivated.
Type sickle cell and search. I think the guy is married now.
All you need about this disease is in detail on that thread.
Good luck to you guys kiss

He is currently on admission but we are making plans on her to manage him subsequently.

It was discovered today. Someone suggested an Hermatologist Paediatrician.

So that's the next move. Thank you

IT IS EASIER FOR A DEAD MAN TO SWALLOW THE ENTIRE MOUNT EVEREST THAN FOR PRAYERS TO CURE COMMON TYPHOID & MALARIA.

I checked it but couldn't find it. I have been trying to remember his name.
Anytime I do, I will tag your thread. That thread has the most comprehensive and up to date everything on how to take care of a sickler from a sicklers experience.

Good luck.

My cousin is one. She is an accountant now. She take folic acid and anytime she says she is weak, know she is really weak and need to rest. Sometimes she will be full of energy today and will be so busy, the next day she is on drip.
I wish u guys the best kiss

@ Joyfulgal
The post above covers most of what you can do for him. Daily folic acid intake and malaria prophylaxis with any antimalarial prescribed by his Doctor.(we use proguanil)

You guys should try to keep him hydrated (drinking plenty of water) and protect against mosquito exposure/malaria or any infection at all.

Any kind of stress whether physical or otherwise is not for him, extreme temperature exposures should be avoided too.

For him, prevention is better than cure. Following these rules will help to reduce the frequency of crisis he will encounter but doesn't eliminate the crisis.

There are times he'll have joints and body pains mild enough to be relieved with common analgesics but some may be extremely severe enough to warrant stronger prescription analgesic.

He must be taken to hospital when he's sick for proper management and care(no home remedies), pay mind to his health complaints.

Some kids are taken in and out of the hospital quite often while it's a rare occurrence for others. it all depends on how much his family invests in his wellbeing and luck to an extent.

You guys give him the best you can, support him emotionally too and hope for the most desirable outcome.

*Hugs to him

See logic
Use prayer first and foremost, then consider medication later
Religion has fried your brain

Yeah, lots of uncertainties but keep positive.

My heart goes out to the young man. It's a battle for survival, you guys don't give up on him. He can win this.

I've seen a case of SCD diagnosed for the first time at 39 in a first time mother in labour.

Of course she didn't accept she had Sickle cell disease 'cause she'd never been told or diagnosed prior and the investigation had to be repeated after much vexing and arguments from her.

It must have been very very mild for her to live with it undiagnosed till that age. Some people are that lucky.

From Family hx, 5 siblings 3 late, 2 surviving and she's one of the two survivors. Guess her other 3 siblings weren't as lucky.

LUCK LUCK!
God bless the Lad.
