A member asked:

Long term side effects of high fevers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fever: Temperature elevations above 105 f may create brain damage. In children they may be associated with seizures that will seldom if ever recur when the fever regresses. Otherwise there should not be permanent deficits from high fevers.
