Is a 105 fever deadly?

My mother's fever just spiked to 105. She's elderly and I'm really scared. Can such a high fever be deadly?

Bro, 105 is not something you can sleep off or handle with a diet change. That high of a temperature can damage your organs and is absolutely life-threatening. Stop reading online and go to the nearest hospital emergency room right now.

A 105 fever is extremely dangerous and can cause severe complications, especially if you have conditions like diabetes. This is a medical emergency. Please do not try to eat anything or manage it at home, just get to a hospital immediately.

I can only share what happened to my nephew when his fever touched 105. He had febrile seizures and we had to rush him to the ICU immediately. It is incredibly serious, so please seek emergency medical care right away.

Are you seriously asking this online? 105 fever is a massive emergency and can be fatal if ignored. Stop searching on your phone, call an ambulance or get a cab, and go straight to the hospital casualty ward immediately.

Beta, 105 is a very dangerous level of heat for the body. No home remedy, ginger, or cold strip is enough for this. You must take paracetamol immediately and go straight to the emergency room at a hospital. Do not delay at all.
