What should be done if an elderly person gets leukemia and has a high fever that won't go down?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't good either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. How should I handle it if the elderly person develops leukemia with persistent high fever?

Doctor's answer:

High fever is also a common symptom of leukemia. After the recurrence of leukemia, symptoms such as infection and fever may reappear. In such cases, timely use of antipyretic drugs for symptomatic treatment is necessary. While using antipyretic drugs to alleviate symptoms, it is also important to pay attention to appropriate coordination for leukemia chemotherapy or surgical treatment to enhance the remission and control of leukemia. Some types of leukemia can be completely cured and fully recovered.
