Hello, I'm so sorry that your daughter is unwell. I would advise you to see a doctor first and foremost. She might be suffering from a multitude of things; infection, illness an allergic reaction. Weakness is inevitable when you have sickle cell anaemia. Personally I would recommend drinking 4 liters of alkaline water, plenty of rest and to make sure she doesn't over exert herself or experience high levels of stress. I hope she gets better.

Hi , can I make a suggestion, get the doctor to check her spleen has this could be infected, can be dangerous if not treated on time. Also diet can be what causes gastric acid build up

Hope this help,
