After stem cell infusion, patients may experience reactions such as rash, chills, and fever, which require symptomatic treatment under medical guidance.
1. Rash
Some patients may develop rashes after stem cell transplantation, possibly due to the immune system reacting to the new cells. Under medical supervision, symptoms can be alleviated by applying dexamethasone ointment and maintaining good hygiene.
2. Chills
Chills are a common accompanying symptom of fever and indicate activation of the immune system. It is recommended to drink warm water and add clothing promptly to stay warm.
3. Fever
Fever may occur after stem cell infusion, resulting from immune system activation and the release of inflammatory mediators following transplantation. Under medical guidance, medications such as levofloxacin capsules or moxifloxacin capsules may be used for treatment.
In addition, patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, and other reactions. Responses to stem cell transplantation vary among individuals—some patients may have no reaction at all, while others may experience more severe symptoms. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical consultation is advised for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified physician.
