A. yes tepid sponging can be done to reduce the body temperature but avoid using cold water for this purpose because a sudden drop in temperature and can result in shivering so use only normal tap water

A. Hello ma’am Yes you can keep it on the forehead apart from that if you wish to you can keep it all behind the knees as well because it is said that that was the fever comes down faster. So you can try it either ways and if the fever still does not come down then just consult your doctor for a stronger dose of medicine
