Infection somewhere in the body.. You should get it taken care of before it turns into a much bigger problem!

I would contact a hematologist so that you can have thorough exam...but I also want you to understand that there are normal high and low results...there are some people who don't conform to the norma...a normal WBC is 4.0 to 10.5..I would like that second opinion with a hematologist and ease my fears..As a nurse I would not speculate what it may be..and as I said it may be normal for you..I have cared for patients who has a normal temperature of 96 and if they have a fever it is 98.6 so see we are not all the same...good luck and I hope you get good news.

My son had a similar condition last year at school. The nurse at school called me and apparently it is called " Fifth disease". It went away within 2 days,  it was splotchy, red, no itch, no fever, no residual side effects, but he looked horrible for 2 days, it affected his cheeks, arms, thighs, buttocks, back and stomach it  has never come back, I have never heard of anything like this being a recurring problem. Best wishes, Tiff

you really need to go to the ER asap. the high temperature can cause you serious problems if you dont get it down. since it went away and then came back it shows that it is still in your system,you need antibotics seriously. you dont wanna harm your body.

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!!!

Ask to have her antibody levels tested (IgG, IgA, IgM). It is a simple blood test and won't cause her any more pain that having blood drawn.The long running fever suggests that her body is working to fight an infection. It is possible that her body is having trouble finding and/or fighting the infection because of a depressed or suppressed immune system. Think about how many infections she has had over the past year? How many times has she had to be on antibiotics? How many times have you had to repeat a course of antibiotics? \n\nI hope your little one feels better soon.

it has to do with the tempature differce and the hewmidity in the air. ask your doctor to explain it in english(lol) so that you know for sure what's goin on. dont be afraid to ask, i mean considering it is your kids life your talking about. hope your 4 yr old gets better.

anything above 101 bears watching, anytimes it creeps up to 102, 103, you should give your doctor a call...take asprin or whatever is being taken to help with the fever....you can go into seziures at 104..fevers are telling you that something is not right with your body..your body is rejecting something.....it is trying to purge itself with whatever is going on....better to always be safe and call your doctor and tell ALL symptoms

I usually do not treat a fever until it is over 101.5 or unless the child is distressed by it.  The body uses fever to kill off the bacteria or viruses it is infected with.  Usually the bacteria cannot survive in higher temperatures so the fever is a defense mechanism of the body.  In some children fighting bad infections we will not treat a fever until it is 104 or higher.   Both tylenol and motrin are effective against a fever.  You can alternate them if needed.  If the fever continues for over 24 hours or if the fever is not relieved with the tylenol or motrin you need to see medical advice.  Best wishes.

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!

Contact you doctor as soon a possible!!!  If this behavior is out of character for her then something may be disturbed without causing a fever. \nIt's always better to be on the safe side... rather than the sorry!!!

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

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

When Should I Call My Child's Doctor?\n\nThe exact temperature that should trigger a call to the doctor depends on the age of the child, the illness, and whether the child has other symptoms with the fever.\n\nCall your child's doctor if you have an:\n\n    * infant younger than 3 months with a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius)\n    * older child with a temperature of higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius)\n\nIf an older child has a fever of less than 104 degrees, call the doctor if the child also:\n\n    * refuses fluids or seems too ill to drink adequately\n    * has persistent diarrhea or repeated vomiting\n    * has any signs of dehydration\n    * has a specific complaint (i.e., sore throat or earache)\n    * still has a fever after 24 hours in a child younger than 2 years or 72 hours in a child 2 years or older\n    * has recurrent fevers, even if they only last a few hours each night\n\nSeek emergency care if your child shows any of the following signs along with a fever:\n\n    * inconsolable crying for several hours\n    * extreme irritability\n    * lethargy and difficulty waking\n    * rash or purple spots that look like bruises on the skin (that were not there before the child got sick)\n    * blue lips, tongue, and nails\n    * infant's soft spot on the head seems to be bulging outward\n    * stiff neck\n    * severe headache\n    * limpness and refusal to move\n    * difficulty breathing that doesn't get better when the nose is cleared\n    * leaning forward and drooling\n    * seizure\n\nAlso, check with your child's doctor for his or her specific guidelines on when to call about a fever.

When it reaches 103.5 then is when I usually go to the doctor. But I also have 2 very young children and the doctors tell you that if thier fever gets to 104.0 get them to the doc soon as possible because it can cause brain damage. I hop I answered your question and if you are worried go to the doc and don't wait, better safe than sorry. Also you may want to try to take some tylenol then 4 hours later take motrin and alternate til the fever breaks that is what I do for my children. Get Better

Fever 1793 is a great book! It is about this girl who lives through her mother's death (she died from yellow fever). she is sent away to [a place that I don't quite remember] with her grandpa so that she will not get sick. She came very close to becoming ill. I'm sorry that I cannot help you anymore, because I read it three years ago, and my memory is very poor! :~}

She might.  If her mucous is green-ish, you should take her to the doctor.  If she isn't running a fever now, you will probably be okay to wait until Monday.  Good luck.
