Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. He almost never drinks plain water and instead drinks beverages as if they were water. Recently, I noticed his complexion wasn't good, and today he even had a nosebleed. I'm worried he might be sick. I heard from someone that leukemia can cause nosebleeds, so I want to ask if drinking beverages can lead to leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Long-term consumption of beverages is a common factor that can lead to leukemia, but not all children who drink beverages will develop leukemia. Prolonged beverage consumption increases the likelihood of children developing leukemia. Beverages are often mixed with chemicals, and drinking them for a long time can have a certain impact on a child's health. The child still looks pale, and there is a recurrence of nosebleeds, which may be caused by excessive internal heat.
