Patient's question:
Child is 8 years old. Just took him to the hospital because of pain in the chin. After a thorough examination, swollen lymph nodes and submandibular gland nodules were found. Since it's the weekend, the general hospital here said the inflammation is high and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. However, for the submandibular gland nodules, they said he should be seen at a children's hospital and want to understand if it's urgent. Will the blood report definitely not show leukemia?Doctor's answer:
According to your complete blood count report, consider infectious inflammation.① Since you are unaware of your child's symptoms, but the blood test results suggest infection, it is recommended to start antibiotic treatment. Intravenous infusion for infection control is the best option.
② Based on your child's symptoms, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
③ Regarding the submandibular gland nodule, it is advised to consult an oral surgeon for follow-up.
④ Your complete blood count report does not indicate leukemia, so there is no need to worry. Avoid spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet.
