Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Myth #2: Fevers are bad, can cause brain damage or seizures and are dangerous to my child. Fact: Fevers are a protective mechanism and a sign that the body’s immune system is turned on. Most fevers are good for sick children and help the body fight infection. Fevers do not cause brain damage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recurrent fever is one of the main symptoms of a collection of conditions called periodic fever syndromes. These are diseases that cause a person-typically a child-to have a fever in a spaced out pattern over time, without having a virus or bacterial infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fever can mean a lot of different things, but most low-grade and mild fevers are nothing to worry about. Most often, an increase in body temperature is a normal response to an infection, like a cold or the flu.
