Question

4. Why alcohol rub is used to help lower the temperature of a sick patient?​

Answer 1

Answer:

As rubbing, or isopropyl, alcohol evaporates from skin, it soothes like a fresh breeze, potentially reducing body temperature. Many parents soothe their feverish children by rubbing it on the skin or adding a little to a sponge bath.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

It would be like magic if it worked, but it doesn't: Simply applying rubbing alcohol to the skin to reduce a fever. While it's true that the alcohol can instantly cool the skin, it actually works too quickly. This response signals the body that you're cold, causing it to turn up your "internal thermostat" even higher.
