Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that there is no treatment of sickle cell disease. Only thing you have to do is prevention. Prevention is by preventing low oxygen tension to your brother. If he is on low oxygen tension than he feels attack but if he is on good oxygenation nothing will happen to him.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
