Question
A boy, 6 years old, has recently been experiencing body fever and says he has pain in his body, but he doesn’t know what’s wrong. Is unexplained fever a sign of cancer?
Answer
If a patient experiences unexplained fever, especially persistent low-grade fever, it could be a sign of cancer. Patients should not hold lucky thoughts, as even if it’s not cancer, it could be caused by an infection. It is important to seek medical attention and treatment promptly, identify the cause of the fever, and then use medication accordingly. In addition to treatment, patients should maintain a regular lifestyle, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods in daily meals, ventilate frequently, and drink plenty of hot water. Good living habits are also helpful in preventing the occurrence of diseases.
