What Causes Headaches, Fever And Vomiting In A 5 Years Old?
My niece being only 5 has been suffering with headaches, fever, vomiting. I was concerned because her WBC is 31,000 .... sadly on my husbands side of the family a niece died from leukemia and I know basically she just didn t feel well and had a high wbc, she was young only in her 20 s.

Hi
welcome to HCM
I understand your concern , but if Headache , vomiting and fever with raised WBCs are of short duration ( you have not mentioned duration of symptoms and other findings) , it is unlikely be leukemia , one need to rule out any brain infection.She need to be evaluated for finding the cause of fever .
Thanks
