Sickle cell trait
Doctor,
I have sickle cell trait. I have been taking folic acid 5mg regularly since long. But, What is the reason my hemoglobin level always stays between 11-12.
In extreme cold/cold, sometimes, I get muscle ache in my leg(under knee muscle). Once, when I had undergone cbc test before 2 months and under impression, it was written as cold agglutinin suspected (Before that night, I had slept with ac turned on).
So, what should I eat and what supplement or medicine should I take along with folic acid 5mg ?
I was thinking to start taking livogen tonic along with folic acid tablet.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Please accept that the Cold Agglutinins have nothing to do with your sleeping in an AC room.
