Better to avoid doing sponge and putting your kid to sweat down for fever, since because of cold. Fever and cold altogether will settle down only after a time, wait if you have the patience to bear the inconvenience of your kid. If not consult your doctor. If fever doesn't subsidies below 100 F for 2 days then contact your doctor immediately
