Suggest Treatment For Headaches While Having Sickle Cell Disease
Hello, As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. We have to rule out conditions like cerebral thrombosis. You might require MRI for further management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
