Question

Hello, what temperature water should be used to soak the towel when cooling down a feverish baby?

Answer

You can use water at 20℃-30℃ to soak a soft towel. After slightly squeezing the towel to ensure it doesn’t drip, fold it and place it on the forehead. Change it every 3-5 minutes for effective temperature reduction. When the body temperature is below 38.5°C, other physical cooling methods can also be adopted, such as cold wet compress on the head or an ice pillow on the head.
