🚨 With sickle cell disease, knowing when to seek emergency care can save a life.

A fever of 101.3°F (38.5°C) or higher, chest pain, or difficulty breathing needs immediate medical evaluation. Follow a lower fever threshold if your care team has given you one. Call 911 for stroke signs, severe trouble breathing, a seizure, or loss of consciousness. Do not wait for a callback during an emergency. Keep your care plan and emergency contacts accessible, and make sure caregivers know the warning signs. This graphic highlights key symptoms—not every possible emergency. 📌 Save this guide and share it with someone who helps care for a sickle cell warrior. ❤️ Help us support individuals and families living with sickle cell disease.
