How high does a babies temperature have to be before they die?

Question

I have given my daughter 3 sets of vaccines so far, she is 6 months old. the 1st time she had a temperature of over 101. the second time she had a temperature of 102.7. so I switched pediatricians, and when i went in to my new pediatrician, I told her about the temerature issue. She told she would break the vaccines in half and I can come in a month later to get the other half, and this would reduce the chances of her getting a fever. so I went ahead and did that. And then after I got home and put her to bed she woke up 3 hours later with a temperature of 104.7. I will not go back to give her the other half of the vaccines, But I was just wandering, how is is too high?

Answer 1

do not le it stay at that temp

some kids get dehydrated- others say that at a high temp  like 104 for prolonged time it can affect the brain.

put her in a cold bath give her icecubes to suck and if temp doesnt go down in a few hours  and she itsnt peeing and she looks lethargic- like doesnt want to playtake her to the e.

i had to do that to my kid at a years old.  high temps over a period of time  are serious,

Infants can withstand greater body temperatures than can adults so, your baby is safe.  However, 104.7 is really getting up there.  (my daughter once got to 104.5 when she had pneumonia).  

One important question is, how long did the fever last?  Fevers associated with the administration of a drug are not uncommon.  A temperature of 104 in an adult, although high, is not dangerous unless it lasts around 5 days.  

You should really consult with your pediatrician.  This forum may provide you with some information, but this is NOT the place to get a definitive answer for your child.  

Here is a list of temperatures I got off the internet:

-- 37°C (98.6°F) - Normal body temperature (which varies between about 36.12-37.5°C (96.8-99.5°F)

-- 38°C (100.4°F) - Sweating, feeling very uncomfortable, slightly hungry.

-- 39°C (102.2°F) - Severe sweating, flushed and very red. Fast heart rate and breathlessness. There may be exhaustion accompanying this. Children and people with epilepsy may be very likely to get convulsions at this point.

-- 40°C (104°F) - Fainting, dehydration, weakness, vomiting, headache and dizziness may occur as well as profuse sweating.

-- 41°C (105.8°F) - (Medical emergency) - Fainting, vomiting, severe headache, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, delirium and drowsiness can occur. There may also be palpitations and breathlessness.

-- 42°C (107.6°F) - Subject may turn pale or remain flushed and red. They may become comatose, be in severe delirium, vomiting, and convulsions can occur. Blood pressure may be high or low and heart rate will be very fast.

-- 43°C (109.4°F) - Normally death, or there may be serious brain damage, continuous convulsions and shock. Cardio-respiratory collapse will likely occur.

-- 44°C (111.2°F) or more - Almost certainly death will occur; however, patients have been known to survive up to 46.5°C (115.7°F)
