what kind of disease a little boy 3 years old, with headache, vomiting with 39.7C temperature, wbc 21.000 mm3?

The child may have a bacterial infection as suggested by the fever and high wbc which are fairly reliable indicators. However, without further history and physical exam a diagnosis can't be made. And there are other disease states that may cause high fever and white count. An online diagnoses shouldn't be made in the first place. Since you know the child's WBC I'm assuming he/she has seen a physician. \n\nDespite having 19 grandchildren (and that's an honor and I applaud her), the above answerer has no way of knowing what's wrong with your child, wbc's that high suggest something other than a virus. Grandmothers are nice, but follow your Physicians orders.

Try to get him/her in a LUKEWARM bath {just barly warm} let him/her play in it as long as he/she wants to.   Also keep plenty of water based liquids going in to keep from dehydration. Try to keep your child comfy so as not to be too excited or crying too much. Once my son had a bad fever and I didn't have any med. and he had been going to Church and they taught him a scripture and he repeated it over and over about 3 or 4 times and his fever went away....he said."Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world".....from the BIBLE.

Your thinking is logical. As far as I know there are no treatments for colds because if it's viral there are no medications, if it's bacterial antibiotics won't help anyway because the bacteria have already released their toxins and caused all this discomfort. \nDoctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics as a prophylaxy, to prevent other bacteria from attacking an already weakened immune system.\nJust go with lots of rest, lots of fluids and keep him warm and cosy and he'll be up in no time!\nHowever if fever is over 104 and symptoms persist more than a week-10 days it wouldn't hurt to get a second more informative opinion from a doctor!

Febrile temps or seizures are experienced in babies, and there is nothing to detect, it is just a common occurence.\nThe fever spikes, and seizures start, but because they are febrile, this is not something that will go into childhood or adulthood, unless, of course, the child was already diagnosed with epilepsy.\nYou should read up in this, and also talk with the babies pediatrician

Last year my son developed a very rare disease, that typically affects toddler age Asian boys ( my white son was 8) it was very uncommon, and we kept going and going to the DR, as more symptoms finally kept coming up,one DR finally thought he recognized it, but my son was forming it atypically, we kept going back, FINALLY diagnosed it!   3 weeks of being horribly ill 104 fever constant for 3 weeks! and 4 days in the hospital, and 6 months of follow up with a cardiologist. My point is KEEP taking her, they will find something, it could be a very rare thing! They brought ALL the personnel in the room to look at my son because NONE had ever seem this disease!!!

Not necessarily. Usually, in the more severe cases of autoimmune conditions this is true...before the meds are regulated, etc. My Mom has Autoimmune Hepatitis (this is the non-contagious kind). This involves her liver. When she first started getting sick, her temp was pretty normal. Now she is on maintenance medication (she has decided against a liver transplant) her temperature is normal...but that's just through personal experience. There may be other conditions out there that differ, or affect body temperature in a different way.

Hello, i m sorry to hear about your condition, and I would like to answer to your questions saying that its not me the one with leukemia, but my son was diagnosed almost 2 years ago, and the pallor and the tirednes are symptoms that i noticed in him too (he was 3 years old when he was diagnosed), that is due to the decreased level of hemoglobine that many of the patients with leukemia shows, as far as the lost of memory i am not very sure, but if the hemoglobine is low that could cause also a lack of oxigen to the brain and that might affect its normal function.\n\nNever the less, i have to say something else, i know that the initial diagnosis is devastating, but you have to know that there is always hope and leukemia is one of the cancers with the highest cure rate so.. go to the doctor, take your chemo and pray a lot.. im sure you will be fine.  God bless u.\n\n\nANSWERING TO YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION, I WILL HAVE TO SAY YES, I HAVE HEARD FROM LEUKEMIC PATIENTS THAT THEY HAVE MEMORY LOSS, THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE IS WITH CHILDHOOD CANCER AS I TOLD YOU, AND THINKING ABOUT YOUR QUESTION, I REMEMBER THAT THE MOTHER OF ONE LITTLE GIRL WITH LEUKEMIA, USED TO TELL ME THAT HER DAUGHTER, SINCE SHE GOT SICK, WAS VERY FORGETFUL ABOUT THINGS, THAT SOMETIMES SHE COULDNT EVEN REMEMBER THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO HER THE DAY BEFORE, AND OF COURSE THEY HAD TO TAKE HER OUT OF SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT TAKING ANY ADVANTAGE OF THE CLASSES BECAUSE SHE COULD NEVER REMEMBER ANYTHING. THAT IS ALL I CAN TELL YOU FOR NOW, I HOPE YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL.. ILL KEEP TRYING TO REMEMBER IF SOME OF THE PATIENTS I KNEW SAID SOMETHING ELSE REGARDING TO THAT MATTER, IF I DO I WILL SURE LET YOU KNOW... GOOD LUCK!!

Virus eradication is not the issue in his case.  Liver failure resulting in coma is a very poor prognostic sign.  He is not likely to survive this episode because the liver is not functioning to purify the blood of chemicals which are poisonous to the body (and brain).  If his body tolerates life support and the medical team is able to get him past this crisis and he has enough reserve liver to function, he may be able to survive a short time after.  All of these things are unlikely from what you have told us, I am sorry to say.  I wish you, your children and him the best in this ordeal.  Liver failure patients do not suffer while comatose.

Hi,\n\nSorry to hear about your son. \n\nThe disease is called polyarteritis nodosa. It's a disease that causes inflammation in blood vessels which leads to their destruction. \n\nThe disease involves many organs in the body. It can present as a self limited disease that has only skin lesions or as a severe disease that involves many organs which leads to their disfunction, and to death. \n\nNothing is known at the moment about the genetics of the disease. In the USA it occurs in 9-17 out of 1,000,000 people. It usually affects people of all ages and is much more common in males than females. \n\nThe causes of the disease are unclear as of today. There is evidence that maybe the immunologic system in the body is responsible, because when checking for values of factors in the blood that usually go up in diseases that have an immune cause, these factors go up in this disease as well. \n\nThese include:\n1. antibodies of the type endothelial COH\n2. antibodies that are common in other diseases of blood vessels, called ANCA\n3. There is also a connection with infection from Hepatitis virus (that causes a liver disease usually). In 30% of people with the disease the virus was found in the blood. It's possible that the body's response to the virus causes the disease.

Staph on the skin can lead to red, fluid-oozing sores, itching and general redness. But once Staph has entered the body, it can lead to harmfull illness like bone problems, and even pneumonia. I would ABSOLUTELY not let your brother hold your little one (anyone under the age of 5) unless he has THOROUGHLY washed his hands. Depening on how severe the outbreak, I would even go so far as to recommend gloves and perhaps a mask. Don't take any chances with your precious angel, Staph is hard for the little ones to kick. Good luck!

he should see some one if the temp does not go down with Tylenol and or cool cloths, or it it goes above 101 but he should be OK.  Rub him down with rubbing alchol or a wash cloth with cool water and don't let him cover himself up

Try cool compresses to these points; under his arms (armpits), behind his neck, his groin area, and on the backside of his knees.  Also cool sponge baths or a soak in a tepid or cool tub, though I doubt he would willingly accept this.  This will rapidly reduce his temperature but obviously will not keep it down.  I have read recently that a temperature from a fever can be allowed if not extreme and dangerously high, as it is the body's natural defense against the invading infections.\n\nPlease talk with your pediatrician to verify these suggestions as acceptable in your case and Good luck!

Fever (also known as pyrexia, or a febrile response, and archaically known as ague) is a medical symptom that describes an increase in internal body temperature to levels that are above normal (37°C, 98.6°F). Fever should not be confused with hyperthermia, which is an increase in body temperature over the body’s thermoregulatory set-point (normally approximately 37°C, but increased during a fever). A fever is most accurately characterized as a temporary elevation in the body’s thermoregulatory set-point, which is usually by about 1-2°C. This elevation in thermoregulatory set-point means that the previous "normal body temperature" would be considered hypothermic. Effector mechanisms, such as increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, activation of brown adipose tissue, and muscular shivering attempt to counteract the perceived hypothermia, thereby reaching the new thermoregulatory set-point. It is the most common symptom of many diseases\n\n\nFever is a positive feedback mechanism that acts toward the direction of change (as opposed to negative feedback, which acts opposite to change to maintain homeostasis). Therefore, fever is the opposite of thermoregulation. Substances that induce fever are called pyrogens. These are both external, such as the bacterial substance LPS, and internal or endogenous. The endogenous pyrogens are a part of the innate immune system, produced by phagocytic cells, and cause the increase in the thermoregulatory set-point. Fever is the body's reaction to pathogens; it attempts to raise core body temperature to levels that will speed up the actions of the immune system, and may also directly denature, debilitate, or kill the pathogen. Most fevers are caused by infections, and almost all infectious diseases can cause fever. When a patient has or is suspected of having a fever, that person's body temperature is measured using a thermometer. If successful in ridding the body of an invasive pathogen, fever is an important protective immune mechanism and should generally not be suppressed. However, there are instances when fever escalates to temperatures where the body is at risk of destroying its own cells and must be brought under control with suppressive medication.\n\n \nHyperthermia: Characterized on the left. Normal body temperature (thermoregulatory set-point) is shown in green, while the hyperthermic temperature is shown in red. As can be seen, hyperthermia can be conceptualized as an increase above the thermoregulatory set-point.\nHypothermia: Characterized in the center: Normal body temperature (thermoregulatory set-point) is shown in green, while the hypothermic temperature is shown in blue. As can be seen, hypothermia can be conceptualized as a decrease below the thermoregulatory set-point.\nFever: Characterized on the right: Normal body temperature (thermoregulatory set-point) is shown in green. It reads “New Normal” because the thermoregulatory set-point has risen. This has caused what was the normal body temperature (in blue) to be considered hypothermic.By using a reliable thermometer, you can tell if a fever is present if temperature is at or higher than one of the following levels:\n\n38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit ) measured rectally (in the anus) \n37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit ) measured orally (in the mouth) \n37.2 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit ) measured in an axillary position (under the arm) \nOne model for the mechanism of fever is the detection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is a cell wall component of gram-negative bacteria. An immunological protein called Lipopolysaccharide-Binding Protein (LBP) binds to LPS. The LBP-LPS complex then binds to the CD14 receptor of a nearby macrophage. This binding results in the synthesis and release of various cytokine factors, such as interleukin 1, interleukin-6, and the tumor necrosis factor-alpha. These cytokine factors are released into general circulation where th
