Patient's question:
Our child has never had any diseases before, and there is no history of leukemia in our family. However, the child has recently been experiencing fever and nosebleeds, and their white blood cell count is particularly high. The child has had another fever recently, and the family is very worried about an unexpected incident. Could you please tell me what are the typical symptoms of childhood leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Usually, the early symptoms of leukemia will reappear with unexplained fever. This fever is not caused by a cold. Therefore, the effectiveness of antipyretic and analgesic drugs is not particularly good. Moreover, this fever sometimes subsides on its own but quickly returns, never reaching extremely high temperatures. If this situation occurs again, it is essential to take the child to the hospital promptly for treatment and blood tests to examine how the blood is reappearing with the problem.
