Fever - Brain Damage

[Nina Sabra]

how likely is it that a fever in a child would cause brain damage?

[Marco Franzreb]

Hi,
it depends on having signs of meningeal irritation. Values over 42° are dangerous.

"Fever is rarely harmful.
Only fevers of 40.5C or 105F and higher need immediate attention, mainly because they are a clue that a serious infection could be present "(such as meningitis)
Only extremely high fevers of 42.2C or 108 F or higher have been known to cause brain damage.

98.6° normal
102°-103° optimal for fighting disease
104°-107° dehydration becomes a serious concern
107º + Dangerous

If the cause of the fever is meningitis, for instance, that could cause brain damage. But it isn't the fever that causes brain damage.

It is very important to NOT use fever reducer medications or cold applications to reduce fever.
Allow the body to have the fever.
Use homeopathic remedies to assist the body.

What is the situation?
