Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects how red blood cells carry oxygen around the body.

Children with sickle cell disease can experience painful episodes, anaemia and serious infections.

❤️ COMMON SIGNS TO WATCH FOR 👇

✅ Frequent tiredness or weakness
✅ Painful swelling of the hands and feet
✅ Episodes of severe bone, chest or joint pain
✅ Yellowing of the eyes
✅ Pale palms or gums
✅ Delayed growth
✅ Increased risk of infections

🩸 WHAT CAUSES SICKLE CELL DISEASE?

A child inherits sickle cell disease when they receive genes that cause the condition from both parents.

For example, when both parents have the AS genotype, each pregnancy has a 25% chance of producing a child with SS.

💚 HOW CAN PARENTS HELP?

✅ Encourage regular hydration.

✅ Attend scheduled hospital appointments.

✅ Ensure recommended vaccinations are up to date.

✅ Give prescribed medications, including preventive antibiotics where recommended.

✅ Help your child avoid extreme temperatures and dehydration.

✅ Follow their personalised pain-management plan.

✅ Seek prompt medical assessment when your child becomes unwell.

🚨 DANGER SIGNS — SEEK URGENT MEDICAL HELP!

❌ Fever of 38.5°C or higher, or any fever meeting your child’s sickle cell emergency plan.

❌ Difficulty breathing or chest pain.

❌ Severe pain that is not improving with prescribed treatment.

❌ Sudden weakness, facial drooping or difficulty speaking.

❌ Extreme paleness, unusual drowsiness or a swollen, painful abdomen.

These symptoms can indicate serious complications and should never be ignored.

❤️ REMEMBER, MUM!

Sickle cell disease is NOT contagious, and children living with it can enjoy fulfilling lives with proper medical care and family support.

Knowing your genotype before having children can also help you understand the risk of passing sickle cell disease to your children.

💬 PARENTS, LET’S TALK! 👇

Do you think genotype testing and sickle cell education are discussed enough before marriage and pregnancy?

Does your child frequently sneeze, scratch their skin or develop rashes after eating certain foods? 🤧

Allergies happen when the immune system reacts to something that is usually harmless to other people.

❤️ COMMON ALLERGY TRIGGERS 👇

🥜 Foods such as peanuts, eggs, milk, fish and certain nuts.

🌸 Dust mites, pollen and mould.

🐈 Animal fur or dander.

💊 Certain medications.

🐝 Insect stings.

⚠️ SIGNS TO WATCH FOR

✅ Frequent sneezing or runny nose
✅ Itchy, watery eyes
✅ Red, itchy skin or hives
✅ Swelling of the lips or face
✅ Coughing or wheezing
✅ Vomiting or tummy discomfort after exposure to a trigger

💚 WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?

✅ Identify and avoid confirmed allergy triggers.

✅ Keep the home clean and reduce exposure to known environmental triggers.

✅ Record foods or substances that appear to cause reactions.

✅ Speak with a healthcare professional about allergy testing and appropriate treatment.

✅ Use prescribed allergy medications as directed.

🚨 DANGER SIGNS — SEEK EMERGENCY HELP!

❌ Difficulty breathing or noisy breathing
❌ Swelling of the tongue or throat
❌ Sudden collapse, fainting or severe weakness
❌ A child becoming floppy or unusually unresponsive

These may indicate anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction.

If prescribed an adrenaline auto-injector, use it immediately as instructed and call emergency services.

❤️ REMEMBER, MUM!

Not every rash or sneeze means your child has an allergy. Proper assessment helps identify the cause and prevents unnecessary food restrictions.

💬 PARENTS, LET’S TALK! 👇

Does your child react to any particular food, dust or other substance? Share your experience in the comments!
