Question:

My brother has a fever and do i have to sponge him??


Answers:

A damp cloth on the forehead can help. Don't cover up someone with a fever unless they want to be covered.

The body needs to stay at a particular temperature range. When someone has a fever, you need to cool their body to stay within that range.

You might also want to use a fan or air conditioner to keep him cool.

It is a huge mistake to force someone to cover up when they have a fever - you do not want to trap the heat.
