Background: If body temperature exceeds the normal range of 36.5-37.5°C, it can be said to have a
fever. Water tepid sponge is applying warm water compresses with a temperature of 37°C for 15
minutes on several places that have large blood vessels such as on the neck, armpits, groin, plus wiping
the back and chest. Objective: to determine the difference in body temperature before and after
applying the water tepid sponge. Method: Treating fever with water tepid sponge therapy using a
descriptive research method with a case study approach. The focus of this case study is the application
of a water tepid sponge to toddler patients (1-3 years) with fever by comparing 2 similar case studies.
Results: Fever treatment with water tepid sponge given 2 times a day with a duration of 15 minutes in
1 meeting. From the two respondents, it was found that An. D experienced a decrease in body
temperature from 38.7°C to 36.8°C. Meanwhile An. R, before therapy was given, the body temperature
was 39.0°C to 36.7. There is a decrease in body temperature after doing the water tepid sponge.
Conclusion: Water tepid sponge therapy can reduce fever in toddler-aged children who have fever
