Abstract :
Hyperthermia is a condition where there is an increase in temperature to
37.8ºC or more. Most often fever is caused by infectious diseases such as Typhoid
Abdominals or typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease that
usually attacks the digestive tract with symptoms of fever for more than 7 days and
disturbances in the digestive tract. Salmonella bacteria will enter the body through
the mouth along with contaminated food or drink. Non-pharmacological techniques
that can be used to reduce the increase in body temperature in patients with fever
are fever management, namely by providing actions such as warm compresses. The
purpose of implementing this application is to reduce heat production and increase
body heat expenditure. This application uses data collection techniques by way of
anamnesis, observation and literature study. The study was conducted for three
days, when the patient had a fever and was carried out for 20 minutes. The action
of warm compresses on typhus sufferers who experience fever has an effect and is
effective in reducing body temperature. So that body temperature decreases and
body temperature can return to normal.
