Patient's question:
Consultation Description: Doctor, hello! My son is three years old. Over the past year, he has been sick every month, with fever. Each time he gets sick, the intervals are very short. This morning he was fine, but after taking a nap in the afternoon, he suddenly had a fever of 38 degrees. He told me his neck hurts. We took him to the hospital for a blood test, and it said it was a bacterial infection. But besides saying his neck hurts, he doesn’t have any other cold symptoms. Over the past two days, he has been taking Amoxicillin and has been in a high fever of 37.5 degrees. I’m worried it might be something else, like leukemia or something. I hope to get your help. Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Leukemia 1. Most cases develop rapidly, with symptoms such as nosebleeds or gum bleeding, fever (usually low-grade), which does not respond to antibiotic treatment. Symptoms may also include liver and spleen enlargement, lymph node enlargement, anemia, etc. Leukemia requires a bone marrow examination for diagnosis. You can have a peripheral blood test and a detailed bone marrow examination at a higher-level hospital for early diagnosis and treatment. The above is advice on this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
