How dangerous is 106 degree fever?

Answer 1

At 103 degrees you should go to the doctor's office; at 104 you should think about going to the hospital; at 105 you are in danger; at 106 or higher you would be sustaining brain damage and will be at significant risk of seizures, coma, paralysis, or death. Death occurs in minutes at that temperature; if you have a temperature of 106 degrees you should be calling 911.

Answer 2

yes if it gets above 108 your systems shut down...new answer...look my mom is an emt and she said if you get a temp. equal to or greater then 108 your body is more likely to send you into a seizure and your internal organs will start shutting down if not handeled correctly. so anything over a 104- god forbid 108 throw yourself into a nice cold shower. i know from experiance when i hit 107.6 at 5.

Answer 3

A fever of 105 or higher can kill you. A fever less than that, preferably around 102 or 101 will actually do good for you. Thus, a low fever is good but a high fever is not. Throughout history uncounted numbers of people have died from a fever, including some famous names which you might recognize. A fever of 105 or 106, even if it does not kill you, can leave you with permanent brain damage. Yes, fevers can be serious.

Answer 4

It is possible to have a fever of 107 degrees F. When a fever is this high, it is important to safely get it down as quickly as possible, but not to bring it down too fast.

Answer 10

I had a temperature of 106, was rushed to the hospital, and suffered from neuron damage afterward. I would have panic attacks and feel like I was suffurcating. I could not do simple calculations such as keep a checkbook, or get complete thoughts from my brain to my mouth! After almost two years, new routes had been established, according to my doctors.
