What are the symptoms for gold fever?
Gold fever is a colloquialism for the hype associated with a gold rush; it isn't an actual disease.
Are Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever the same and if not what is the difference?
They are not the same. They are caused by different mosquito-borne flavivirus organisms; an effective vaccine has been developed for the yellow fever virus, but not for the dengue virus. While yellow fever can be prevented, there is no cure for either disease once contracted. While extremely mild cases of either disease may present only fever and headache symptoms similar to influenza, in most cases the two diseases have different symptoms and different effects on the body. In addition to fever and headache, dengue fever typically begins with a bright red rash along with severe muscle and joint pain which cause it to be known as "break-bone fever"; vomiting and diarrhea are also typical. There is a dramatic decrease of platelets and white blood cells along with internal bleeding, similar to end-stage liver disease; the victim may lapse into shock. In addition to fever and headache, yellow fever typically begins with extreme fatigue and chills along with the fever; vomiting and constipation are usual, along with back pains and a reduction of heart rate and blood pressure, and the skin turns yellow from jaundice. After 3 days or so the symptoms improve, only to return with fierce intensity and accompanied by internal bleeding; the victim may become delirious and fall into a coma.
it is my understanding that scarlet fever is caused by the strep bacteria... however all because your child has strep doesn't mean that they are sensitive to the toxins produced by the strep bacteria or that the toxins were even produced.. my sister had this a few years ago (i thought it was a thing of the past) while my brother and i have never had it. the symptoms she had were a red "scarlet" rash on her face back chest (everywhere!... you can't miss it), sore throat (as you would with strep), fever, and her tonsils and tongue had white speckles on them and I remember her being very fatigued

Is your fever and sore throat cause by a smoke and drinking?
Oh I vomited vodka a couple nights ago and smoked one cigarette (my first on ever) this was on the same night, and now I have a fever and sore throat, is it from that?

How often do fevers recur in relapsing fever?
Recurrent episodes of fever with less severe symptoms occur after about a week. In untreated infections, fevers recur about three times in TBRF, and only once or twice in LBRF.
Normal Body Temperature. Body temperature is usually measured by a thermometer placed in the mouth, the rectum, or the auditory canal (for tympanic membrane temperature). The normal oral temperature is 37° Celsius (98.6° Fahrenheit); rectally, it is 37.3° Celsius (99.2° Fahrenheit). The tympanic membrane temperature is a direct reflection of the body's core temperature. These values are based on a statistical average. Normal temperature varies somewhat from person to person and at different times in each person. It is usually slightly higher in the evening than in the morning and is also somewhat higher during and immediately after eating, exercise, or emotional excitement. Temperature in infants and young children tends to vary somewhat more than in adults.
Temperature Regulation. To maintain a constant temperature, the body must be able to respond to changes in the temperature of its surroundings. When the outside temperature drops, nerve endings near the skin surface sense the change and communicate it to the hypothalamus. Certain cells of the hypothalamus then signal for an increase in the body's heat production. This heat is conducted to the blood and distributed throughout the body. At the same time, the body acts to conserve its heat. The arterioles constrict so that less blood will flow near the body's surface. The skin becomes pale and cold. Sometimes it takes on a bluish color, the result of a color change in the blood, which occurs when the blood, flowing slowly, gives off more of its oxygen than usual. Another signal from the brain stimulates muscular activity, which releases heat. Shivering is a form of this activity-a muscular reflex that produces heat.
