Patient's question:
My child's symptoms include fever, headache, dry cough, and pain in the limbs and lower back. There is also a recurrence of jaundice, turbidity, and hemolysis in the serum. Besides the destruction and dissolution of a large number of red blood cells, leading to anemia in the child, why does hemolysis cause pain?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, chronic hemolytic anemia develops slowly and exhibits three major characteristics: anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly. Acute hemolytic anemia occurs rapidly, with short-term massive hemolysis leading to chills, fever, headache, nausea, pain in the limbs, lower back, and abdominal pain, followed by the reappearance of hemoglobinuria. The pain is caused by the destruction of a large number of red blood cells, and the toxic effects of their compressed products on the body. It is important to control your diet.
