Patient's question:
I've been having constant dizziness lately, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up said it's a blood-related issue. Could it be leukemia if the child has persistent low fever?Doctor's answer:
High fever doesn't necessarily mean it's caused by leukemia. The most common cause of fever in babies is an upper respiratory infection, and the vast majority of these are caused by viral infections. It's advisable to visit the hospital for a blood test to check for abnormalities. If there is a significant increase in lymphocytes, it is generally considered a viral infection, and traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties can be used for treatment. When a baby has a fever, it's important to provide them with plenty of fluids and ensure they stay warm, avoiding exposure to cold as much as possible.
