Early detection saves lives!

🚨 Early detection saves lives! As a Mumbai-based NGO dedicated to improving child health, The Child Health Foundation urges all parents, caregivers, and community members to stay informed about the early signs of childhood cancer. Awareness is the first step in ensuring timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Here are some key signs to watch for:

🚩 Unusual Fatigue and Weakness

Persistent tiredness and loss of energy may indicate more than just everyday fatigue.

🚩 Frequent Infections or Fevers

Recurring fevers without a known cause can be a warning sign of a compromised immune system.

🚩 Unexplained Pain or Lumps

Swelling, lumps (especially in the abdomen, neck, or armpits), or lasting bone/joint pain should be checked by a doctor.

🚩 Sudden Weight Loss or Loss of Appetite

A drop in weight or appetite can sometimes signal an underlying issue and should not be ignored.

🚩 Excessive Bruising or Bleeding

Frequent bruises without clear cause or unusual bleeding (e.g., nosebleeds, bleeding gums) may point to blood-related issues.

🚩 Persistent Headaches, Vomiting, or Vision Changes

Chronic headaches, especially if combined with vomiting or vision changes, should be taken seriously.

👨‍⚕️ If you notice these symptoms in a child, consult a healthcare provider promptly. While many of these signs can be associated with common illnesses, persistent symptoms should be evaluated for peace of mind and safety.

Let’s work together to ensure every child has the best chance at a healthy future. Share this post to spread awareness and support early diagnosis of childhood cancer.
