KoolFever Cooling Gel Child

KoolFever Cooling Gel Child is a non-medicated cooling hydrogel sheet, not a medicine, formulated with menthol, aloe vera, and camphor on a water-based hydrogel sheet. It is manufactured by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, a Japanese consumer healthcare company, and distributed regionally, including in Malaysia, by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. It is sold in Malaysia through DoctorOnCall under the Over-the-Counter (OTC) category, and as a physical cooling device rather than a drug product, it does not require a doctor’s prescription to purchase.

This Koolfever Child variant is specifically sized and shaped to fit a child’s forehead, and the manufacturer states it is intended for children between 2 and 12 years old. This differentiates it from the Koolfever for Body variant, which is a smaller, unscented, adhesive-based patch meant for the neck, wrists, underarms, thighs, or ankles rather than the forehead, and from Koolfever Adult, which is the same forehead-style sheet but sized for an adult’s larger forehead and intended for those aged 12 and above. Each Koolfever Child sheet is designed to stay in place on the forehead even as the child moves during sleep, and to provide a cool sensation for approximately 8 hours per sheet.

Koolfever Child is commonly sold in Malaysia in multi-sheet packs, such as an 8-sheet (6+2) configuration; customers should confirm the exact sheet count on the specific product listing or packaging at the time of purchase, as pack configurations can vary by retailer. Each sheet is intended for single use only.

Remove the transparent protective film from the gel side of the sheet. Affix the gel surface firmly onto the child’s clean, dry forehead, smoothing it down so it stays in place even if the child turns or moves. If a smaller size is needed, the sheet can be trimmed with clean scissors before it is applied.

Use one sheet at a time, and use each sheet only once for hygiene and effectiveness. Replace the sheet with a fresh one once it no longer feels cool to the touch, or after approximately 8 hours, whichever comes first. Discard the used sheet after removal and do not reapply it. Always supervise a young child while a sheet is in use.

Not applicable. Koolfever Cooling Gel Child is a non-medicated cooling hydrogel sheet, not an oral or injectable medicine, so there is no dose, frequency, or maximum daily amount to follow in the way there would be for a drug product. Apply one sheet at a time to the child’s forehead and replace it as needed following the directions for use above.

Use Koolfever Cooling Gel Child before the expiry date printed on the individual sachet and outer packaging.

Store unopened sachets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, in a cool, dry place. Keep each sachet sealed until just before use so the gel does not dry out, and store the pack out of the reach and sight of young children, as the sheets and their backing film can present a choking hazard if handled unsupervised.

• Common: Mild, temporary skin redness or a cool tingling sensation on the forehead where the sheet is applied.
• Common: A faint herbal or menthol scent on the skin from the aloe vera and camphor content.
• Serious: Signs of a skin allergy or contact reaction, such as itching, a rash, or swelling at the application site, which should prompt the sheet to be removed immediately and, if symptoms persist, medical advice to be sought.

• Do not apply to broken, irritated, cut, or infected skin on the forehead.
• Do not apply near or in the eyes, or on other mucous membranes.
• Do not use on a child with a known sensitivity to menthol, camphor, aloe vera, or adhesive materials.
• Do not use in infants under the age recommended on the packaging without guidance from a doctor or pharmacist, and always supervise a young child while a sheet is in use to prevent choking on the sheet or its backing film.

• Not applicable. Koolfever Cooling Gel Child is a topical, non-medicated cooling device with no active pharmaceutical ingredient absorbed into the bloodstream in a clinically significant amount, so no drug or food interactions are expected.

• Apply the sheet to a clean, dry forehead for the best adhesion.
• Use each sheet only once, then discard it; do not reapply a used sheet.
• Trim the sheet with clean scissors if a smaller size is needed for a younger child.
• Keep unused sachets sealed until ready to use so the gel does not dry out prematurely.
• Remove and replace the sheet if it no longer feels cool, rather than leaving it on beyond its effective period.
• Always supervise a young child while a sheet is in use, and keep spare sachets and backing film out of reach when not in use.

Precautions: This is a physical cooling sheet, not a medicine, and should only be applied to the child’s intact, healthy forehead skin. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes. Children with sensitive skin or a known history of allergy to menthol, camphor, or aloe vera should be watched closely after the first application. Always supervise young children while a sheet is on their forehead, particularly during sleep, and keep unused sachets and backing film safely out of reach.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek advice if skin irritation, redness, or itching on the forehead does not settle after the sheet is removed, or if the child shows signs of a wider skin reaction. Because this product is a physical cooling sheet and not a medicine, it should not be relied upon in place of appropriate medical assessment for a child who is unwell, especially if the child is very young, has a high or persistent fever, or shows other concerning symptoms.
