Patient's question:
Is my child suffering from leukemia? Do they need to be treated at the hospital? How long will the treatment take to work? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Anemia is often the first symptom of leukemia, primarily characterized by pale complexion, a feeling of weakness and fatigue, and excessive sweating. Regardless of whether one is active or at rest, they may experience shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat. Over time, these symptoms gradually worsen. The more severe the anemia, the more serious the leukemia is likely to be. Neurological symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, hemiplegia, and loss of consciousness are due to the infiltration of leukemia cells into brain cells and the meninges. It is recommended to seek medical attention and treatment as soon as possible if any discomfort occurs.
