Sponge with tepid water when fever high

If a person has a high fever you must seek medical advice, you can releive the discomfort by sponging the forehead with a sponge soaked in tepid water. Never use cold water as it causes the blood vessels to on the surface of the skin to contract and therefore retain heat. Tepid water helps them to dilate and loose heat.
