Patient's question:
Patient is male, 11 years old. At the age of 3, erosion was discovered in the left humerus. After surgical biopsy and laboratory tests at Nanjing Children's Hospital, the diagnosis was confirmed as eosinophilic granuloma. One month later, the right arm was affected, and the lesion was treated with medication injections, which resolved. A few months later, it was found in the C3 vertebra. The referring physician recommended transferring to the hematology department for treatment. The patient received a course of treatment in the hematology department at Nanjing Children's Hospital. Subsequently, it was discovered in other bones of the body. To date, the disease has affected 7 sites, and subsequent treatments have been administered at Hangzhou Children's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
Treatment suggestions include intravenous administration of calcium gluconate injection, oral loratadine tablets, and ketotifen tablets. If possible, mefenamic acid injection can be added. Persist in treatment for a period of time, such as half a month to one month, and small-dose radiotherapy can also be considered. The occurrence of pediatric bone tumors severely affects the patient's health. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. Rest and enhance nutrition should be noted to avoid or reduce the incidence.
