Or, forget about sponging and run them a tepid bath and put them in it. That's my mama's cure for greater comfort when feverish.
Our paed. also recommended (for kids who are not being breastfed any longer) "Cold liquids in, hot urine out". If the fever was prolonged and the child uncomfortable, then he said ANY cold liquid that the child was willing to take was better than none.
However, according to home-based Canto-medicine, it's better to avoid really cold/icy beverages. YMMV.
Once I asked our GP about cold liquids, especially soy milk. He's an HK guy, Ozzie trained. He said "from the Western perspective, any cold liquid if fine, from the local perspective, no soy milk because it is too "cold"
