Childhood Leukemia Symptoms

Children affected with leukemia are more susceptible to infection. One of the early signs of leukemia in children is the non-functioning of antibiotics for other normal childhood illnesses as leukemia is immune to antibiotics.
Bruises, scratches or cuts are noticed even for an ordinary cause that wouldn’t be that serious enough ordinarily. In case of bleeding, the blood doesn’t stop quickly.
The child experiences pain in bones and joints when the leukemia cells deposit themselves under the surface of the bone and inside joints.
Another early symptom of leukemia in children is the loss of appetite and weight-reduction for no known cause.
Other commonly noticed symptoms in children include vomiting, headaches and uncontrolled fits along with skin reactions. In some cases, there is an enlargement in the abdominal area as leukemia causes distention in spleen and liver
