Children often say that dizziness can be leukemia

  Frequent dizziness in children is not necessarily due to leukemia, but can also be due to a variety of other causes. Leukemia is caused by the dysfunction of white blood cells, resulting in a decrease in the body’s resistance to infection, anemia, and bleeding of the skin and mucous membranes, and other symptoms.  Frequent dizziness in children can be caused by anemia, so routine blood tests should be performed in the hospital to see if the hemoglobin is normal. In case of anemia, children with mild symptoms can be treated by diet, including meat, eggs, fish, spinach, etc. If the symptoms are more severe, they can be treated with ferrous sulfate oral solution under the guidance of a doctor. Cervical spondylosis and insufficient blood supply to the basilar artery can also cause frequent dizziness, and CT examination is feasible to clarify the cause. In pediatric viral encephalitis, dizziness, headache, high fever, nausea, drowsiness, and convulsions may also occur. In addition, rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infection, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, and poor rest can cause dizziness.  In daily life, children should get enough rest and sleep, and eat a balanced diet to meet the material needs of growth and development.
