How To Keep A Fever Down When Baby Is Sleeping?

[Cleokatrah]

My dd is 8 months old, cutting teeth, and sick to boot. She has a pretty regular fever in the high 101s/low 200s and we think she has a sore throat. Took her to the doctor yesterday to rule out ear infection/etc. he basically said to keep doing what we're doing.

I'd like to find a way to minimize how hot she becomes when she's sleeping/nursing though. It's not too bad when she sleeps by herself but she usually sleeps on somebody because moving her wakes her and she screams. Is there anything I can do to help her out? Maybe some type of cooling pad or something?

Thanks.
