Water, though, is a pretty incredible molecule. The theory with placing a cool, wet cloth on the forehead not only makes the febrile person more comfortable, but it helps absorb the heat produced by the body as the water evaporates. This is why the best treatment for heat exhaustion is to place the patient in front of a fan and misting them with water; this action mimics the body's natural sweat response and helps to bring their body temperature back down to a more acceptable level.

Here is your answer
Cold compresses may be used to reduce fever. Apply cold compress directly over the forehead or the nape of the neck to be very effective in reducing fever. The hypothalamus is located at the base of the neck and placing cold compress on the site may significantly reduce fever.
