Hi..as my godson is running fever, I shared my humble advise as a former childcare teacher & qualify first Aider... (I thought its good to share it here too.)
if the child is running fever always use luke warm water to cool him down with towel..not cold water..esp if he has high fever..as a great contrast in temperature (if u use cold water)will damage the brain.
place the luke warm towel on his fore-head as well as under his arm pit and the place below his belly-button..as those are the areas to bring down the temperature...continue to towel him till the water turns cold then change to luke warm water again..till the temperature is normal...
Never never run him under cold shower..and always bath with warm water little by little from his feet first..if not the contrast of the temperature might cuz him to go unconcious..be careful esp for little children..this is my past experience..
Hope this will help..
