Koolfever vs Tepid Sponging
Koolfever vs Tepid Sponging
Originally uploaded by docfiles2
I always advise my patients to do tepid sponging for their children if they have a high fever. Basically all this koolfever thing does is make yor head feel cold because of the menthol. Tepid sponging of the whole body with tap water and a cloth is much more effective. It works by evaporation and brings down the body heat quickly and for free too.
I remember one doctor always refering to tepid sponging as "rapid sponging"!

Hello Dr Chan,
I agree with you...somehow...tepid sponging is the best...and the most effective compared to all this new product...
...we are though to do the correct way of doing tepid sponging...till now...it is still the best...
Hi Hayat, yes better to learn the correct method than to spend money buying all these gimmicks. It costs RM6 for just 2 strips of these menthol stickers.
