“I was very shocked,” Jackson said. “Of course, I started to wonder where he would’ve have gotten them and if there was anything I could’ve done to prevent it.”
Doctors suggested that the high temperatures were the result of the boy’s body battling three viruses at once. Jackson was relieved when tests came back negative for cancer and bacterial infections. A high white blood cell count is most often due to the"body ... fighting off infection or inflammation,"It's not clear how often children are infected with multiple viruses at once because it's not something that's typically tested for, Brody said.
Burke and her team opted to keep Wilder in the hospital until his fever came down and stayed down, the following Wednesday, about three days. “Now he’s acting like a normal 2-year-old,” Jackson said. There is no hard and fast rule as to what temperature should send kids to the emergency room, said Dr. Erica Brody, a pediatrician at the Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital and assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine. If a child has a fever and other concerning symptoms, such as lethargy, that might tip the scales in favor of an ER visit.
