Patient's question:
Is my son suffering from leukemia? Do I need to take him to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take for him to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is a malignant tumor of the hematopoietic system. Patients often have a rapid onset, and early symptoms include pale complexion, fatigue, reduced appetite, gum bleeding, nosebleeds, etc. If leukemia cells invade the brain parenchyma or meninges, it can cause central nervous system leukemia, leading to symptoms such as headache, vomiting, and drowsiness. Bone marrow examination can confirm the diagnosis. Based on your description, it may not be leukemia.
