  1. i know that seizures cause brain damage every time you have one, but i dont think fevers do.

    I've never heard of that happening before so i wouldn't worry.


  2. there is nothing to show that fevers cause brain injury.  fevers above 105 however, can cause seizures...which would then cause brain injury.  but a fever of 102 is not to blame for scarring or seizures.

  3. The occurrence of scarring of the brain from fevers under 105 in children is highly unlikely. the scarring is most likely from the seizures' transmission of electrical charges that have been known to sever connections and cause scar tissue to grow in their place.
