Baby has a fever of 39.5 degrees, how to physically cool down

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Use cold compresses and sponge baths to lower the patient's temperature as quickly as possible. A cold, wet towel can be placed on the forehead. Alternatively, use a waterproof plastic bag filled with ice cubes wrapped in a dry towel to cover the head and neck; applying it to the armpits and groin will be even more effective. You can dilute 75% alcohol with an equal amount of water and use a small towel dipped in the solution to wipe the head, neck, armpits, chest, back, and limbs.
