Question:
What damage occurs to your body from having a prolonged high fever?
Answers:
A prolonged period with a temperature above 42C/107.6F can result in brain damage.
In rare cases, high fever can cause seizures. Although the symptoms are alarming, febrile seizures are over in moments and have no lasting consequences. The seizures begin with a sudden contraction of the muscles in the face, arms, legs and trunk. Usually a haunting, involuntary moan will be emitted, lasting for perhaps 30 seconds. Then the feverish person will often fall, vomit, pass urine, cease breathing and might turn blue. Eventually the contraction will be broken by repeated jerks after which the person will be limp, unresponsive and drowsy.
