[|Human|] 9 month old has run fever of up to 104 for 4 days. The fever broke yesterday and now rectal temp has been all over the place, from 97-98.6. The 97 scares me. Isn t that too low? I should also mention that there was no known cause found for fever. WBC was high. Over 20,000.
[|AI|]  Hello. I just read through your question. It is very reassuring that the temperature came down. The reading of 97 is nothing to be concerned about. The white blood cell count of 20,000 indicates that there was an infection, but based on the resolution of the high fever, appears to be a harmless virus. It would be worth considering with your pediatrician doing a repeat blood count to make sure it normalized. In any case, however, the illness is resolving.
