Can we keep a soaked cloth of cold water to reduce the fever temperature?
-
My brother got fever I don't know which fever it is, it may be malaria because he was shivering, and his temp was 104 F, and fever occured after every 6 hrs. should I keep a soaked cloth of cold water on his forehead or not, because I think his fever will become severe. We 've already been to the doctor and he was not sure but prescribed some medicines to reduce fever , he suggested for blood test and the result will come today so in the mean time what can I do.

Answer:
Evaporative cooling is a good idea, just keep changing the damp cloth. Up to 103 fevers actually help the body fight diseases but beyond that they start to become dangerous.
