Children who have a fever at night and not during the day do not necessarily have leukemia. The condition is relatively common and its causes are more varied and can be analyzed in conjunction with other symptoms and tests, and leukemia should not be diagnosed solely on the basis of this manifestation.
Children who do not have a fever during the day and a fever at night may have a cold because the body’s immune system is inactive after sleeping at night, and some bacteria and viruses that are suppressed during the day may become active and cause a cold. Secondly, it is also possible that the child’s body temperature rises because the child’s nervous system is not well developed and the thermoregulatory function is not good due to too many covers at night or the room is too hot and stuffy. Fevers caused by the above-mentioned physiological factors are usually low fever and usually do not require special treatment. However, early fever in leukemia is characterized by irregularity, sometimes low fever and sometimes high fever, and the fever lasts for a longer period of time, and no obvious foci of infection are usually found. In addition to fever, symptoms such as joint pain, bleeding spots on the skin, loss of appetite, lethargy and easy fatigue may occur, so close observation is necessary.
If the above abnormalities occur, you should promptly visit the hematology department of the hospital to improve the blood routine, bone marrow aspiration and other tests to further clarify the cause and then carry out the corresponding treatment.
