RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. Yes of course you can use because we generally advise you to go ahead with doing cold sponging if the fever is there or if it is on the higher side then you can use a cool pack also that is going to be good and there is no problem with that but if it is very cold and prefer using a towel or an napkin around it
