Patient's question:
My sister hasn't been looking well recently, and she looks very weak. The past couple of days, she's had high fever that won't go down. When we took her to the hospital, the doctor suspected she might have leukemia. What are the symptoms of leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Perform a complete blood count test. If there are abnormalities, a bone marrow aspiration can be performed for confirmation. Leukemia, in general, may present with symptoms similar to a fever or cold. In your case, it is possible that the symptoms could be due to varicose veins caused by excessive exercise. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to getting more rest. Additionally, be mindful of the dizziness. Maintain a normal diet and consider checking your blood count to see if anemia is the cause. A bone marrow examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended to go to a regular and professional hospital.
