Can an 8 month old baby have a fever of 39 degrees 4 burn out his brain?

In fact, fever is not a "disease", fever is only an external manifestation of the disease, a symptom of the disease, and the fever itself does not "burn out the brain". There are no studies and clinics that show that fever itself worsens the condition or "burns out the brain"!

But many parents may refute that the baby of the old Wang family next door has a fever before, and now the child has become stupid, and his legs and feet are not good, isn't that "burning out the brain"? It's a good question, and sometimes it even makes the medical staff wonder how to explain it.

Some central nervous system infections, such as viral encephalitis and purulent meningitis, are clinically manifested as fever, and if they cannot be diagnosed and treated in time, they may produce neurological sequelae, but you have to understand that it is not the "fever" itself that causes the "burning out of the brain", it is caused by an intracranial infection, and both fever and "burning out the brain" are caused by an intracranial infection. Similarly, fever itself does not burn out other organs or tissues, such as the heart. In fact, the vast majority of children with fever in the pediatric outpatient emergency department have a common respiratory infection, and this fever itself does not have any adverse effects on the child's health.

Fever is a sheep "dressed in wolf skin", which looks terrible, but more important than fever is to see what kind of medicine is sold in its gourd through the "wolf skin", and the important thing is the ** behind the fever.

So, some parents will ask again, since it is not the fever itself that "burns out the brain", then in case my child is caused by a disease that will "burn out the brain", especially the mental state, if the fever is accompanied by poor mental response, abnormal limb movements, wandering eyes, ** markings and other symptoms and manifestations of serious diseases, then parents should pay great attention to it. If the child has a fever with respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, and nasal congestion, and has a good mental response, activities are similar to usual, and the appetite is good, then most of them are not serious enough to "burn out the brain".

Generally, it will not affect the baby's brain, and if you have a fever for a long time, you should go to a pediatric hospital in time.

1.The brain is affected when the fever is about to burn.

2.Fever that affects the brain, usually caused by meningitis, is not a fever caused by a regular cold or pneumonia, and usually a regular fever does not harm the brain.

3.Some physical cooling measures should be taken to allow the baby to drink more water in moderation.

I have a high fever that may burn my head and cause epilepsy, so I need to cool down as soon as possible.

Immediately sent to the hospital, the child has a high fever and is easy to burn out the brain.
