Question
The child has been crying and showing a lack of appetite recently. Could there be any abnormalities in the child’s lymph nodes before the onset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer
If a child frequently experiences oral ulcers or tonsillitis, these conditions may lead to lymph node swelling. If they are continuously irritated, the lymph nodes may not shrink back easily. It is advisable to take the child to a hospital for an ultrasound examination, as it is usually not a serious matter and there is no need to worry excessively.
