   Can a fever cause brain damage?

   • When an otherwise healthy person has a fever due to a viral or bacterial infection, it is unlikely to cause brain damage. Even febrile seizures, which occur in children, do not cause any permanent damage. While there is a risk if your body temperature exceeds 107.6 degrees F, a fever that high is extremely rare.

In these cases, the body may not be able to regulate its temperature and medications will not bring the temperature down.
