A member asked:
Can you please describe the effects (when you become an adult) of having had a high fever when you are a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing specific: Decades ago it was common to attribute learning difficulties or deafness to high fever in childhood.As research on kids has progressed, most deafness has been linked to other causes and learning difficulties linked to inherited factors. Meningitis or encephalitis, with or without high fever did have complications.Most kids with high fever grow up with no long term effects.
