How will flying to a higher altitude such as Colorado affect a two year old with sickle cell trait?
There is no quick, easy answer. Flying in a pressurized aircraft should not pose a problem. Neither should visiting Colorado. There is a Sickle Cell treatment center in Denver, and many people with Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell trait live and work in that area. However everyone is different, and trait and disease affect everyone differently. In general travel to Colorado for a two-year-old with sickle cell trait should not present any sickle cell related health care issues.
