Patient's question:
What should be done if a child with intermediate-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia has severe pneumonia before chemotherapy? During the course of treatment, the child's mental state was good, and the doctor administered the second dose of chemotherapy medication under anesthesia. Although it was mild, four days later, the child's pneumonia worsened, and they experienced difficulty breathing. Oxygen therapy was then administered, and the child's condition has improved slightly in the past two days. We suspect that the pneumonia was not fully resolved before the chemotherapy was administered. What are some good medication recommendations? The pneumonia must be completely resolved before chemotherapy can be effectively implemented. The child is only 11 months old. We look forward to your response on what kind of help you can provide: What precautions should be taken if a child with intermediate-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia has severe pneumonia before chemotherapy?Doctor's answer:
