Question

why do we doctor advise
to put strip of wet cloth an forehead of a person having high fevar

Answer 1

Answer:

Doctor advises to keep a strip of wet cloth n the forehead of a person having fever because due to high fever ,a person feels ill . The strip of wet cloth is colder than the body temperature.

When we keep the strip of wet cloth, the heat of the forehead gets transferred to the wet cloth and the coldness of the cloth gets transferred to the forehead and so the person suffering from fever feel well as some amount of heat gets transferred to the cloth and the temperature lowers .

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.
