A member asked:
What type of brain damage can result from a fever of over 104 for 11 days in an adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How Far Over?: Brain damage from a fever generally will not occur unless the fever is over 107.6 °f (42 °c). That being said, if a person has a relatively low threshold for febrile seizures, it is conceivable that a lower fever could induce frequent seizures and cause problems from low oxygen getting to the brain (anoxic injury).
