Question

Doctors advice to put strips of wet cloth on the forehead of a persons having high temperature

Answer 1

To reduce high temperature in our body

Answer 2

When a person has fever his body temperature becomes more than the normal body temperature. If we put strips of wet cloth on the forehead of a person suffering from high fever, the water evaporates taking heat from the body, creating a cooling effect. Thus, moist strips will lower his body temperature.
