Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever. Drinking water maintains hydration during the stress of fever on the body. Tepid sponging helps by vasodilating blood vessels and evaportaion technique.

View allI've got a question about tetanus. I got the vaccine a couple of months back, but now I've got this small cut on my finger, and some dirt got in it. There's a bit of blood. Do I need to get another tetanus shot, or am I covered? I'm just a bit worried about it.
If you have had a tetanus vaccine within the last 5 years, you should not need another dose for a minor wound like a small cut on your finger. However, it is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage.
