<s>[INST] Is fever dangerous? Can it damage my child’s brain? [/INST] No, a fever is actually good because it helps the body kill off bacteria and viruses. Only body temperatures above 108 fahrenheit can cause brain damage and this level of body temperature can only be reached in by extreme environmental temperatures (for example, if a child is left in a hot car).
