Death is usually due to Brain damage from having a high Fever for too long of a time. Take it from me. i didn't think I was running a Fever and the Nurse asked how long I had that Temperature. I said, oh it broke. I had it for a week. She said, it broke? Honey, your temperature is 104. So, I suffered with 106, not realizing how high it actually was for about a week. It did cause me serious problems. About one month later, I had a horrible seizure and didn't wake up for 8 days. I had never had a seizure before. Then, I started hearing things through white noise and still do to this day. I cannot concentrate very long and my short term memory is just awful. Words that used to come to me without so much as a thought are totally lost on me now.
Small Children can handle a high fever for longer time periods than adults. If you ever have a fever of 104 or up, get medical help before you hit the 24 hour mark. 106-108 is almost like a heat Stroke, if you will. Deadly. And whoever said take Tylenol is giving very filmy advice. You need to find out what and where the Infection/virus is so you can treat the problem from its root, not mask it with aspirin while it rages on.
Yes, it can kill you. If It doesn't, the infection coursing through your body will without proper Antibiotics. Maybe sooner than later but yes, it can kill you.
