@donavan symptoms of acute lymphoblastic leukemia develop gradually so it is important to be detected early on. Some early and common symptoms to look for are- pale skin, tiredness, breathlessness, repeated infections over a short space of time, unusual and frequent bleeding, night sweats, fever, bone, and joint pain. In some cases, it also causes headaches, dizziness, vomiting, and blurred vision. It is not only common in kids but also in adults. If you or your child has some or even all of these symptoms then please reach out to your doctor. Thanks.
