Leukemia is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate. Both adults and children have the chance to get sick. If the symptoms are not detected in a timely manner and treatment is delayed, it is easy to threaten the patient's life safety. Therefore, attention should be paid to the early symptoms of leukemia. So, what are the symptoms of early leukemia in children?
Many children with leukemia have hidden symptoms that are difficult to detect, so it is important to pay more attention to observation. Some children have obvious fever symptoms in the early stages of the disease. There are two reasons for fever. One is caused by leukemia itself, and its temperature does not exceed 38 ℃. Antibiotic treatment is ineffective. Another reason is that the patient's own immune system is weak, and many diseases are prone to infection, often leading to high fever. Common infections include tonsillitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis, urinary system infections, etc.
Secondly, bleeding is also the main symptom of early childhood leukemia, and the bleeding site may be in various parts of the body, mainly in the oral cavity, nasal mucosa, skin, gums, and other common areas. Secondly, bleeding is in the digestive tract, respiratory tract, uterus, urethra, and other areas.
In addition, children with leukemia may also experience symptoms of bone and joint pain. Most patients with bone and joint pain are in the acute phase, manifested as tenderness at the lower end of the sternum, mainly in the bones, joints, and other areas. If the patient's condition continues to develop and symptoms of bone necrosis appear, it can directly cause bone pain, so early detection and treatment are very important.
