Abstract

Health problems in partners include the high incidence of fever in toddlers which reaches 45.8%. Factors that affect the frequency of children getting sick are the tropics, where tropical areas like Indonesia are good for germs to breed, for example flu, malaria, dengue fever, and diarrhea. These various diseases are usually more prevalent in the transitional season. High fever can cause seizures which in this case are called febrile seizures. A febrile seizure is an emergency in children that must be treated immediately. One of the first aids is with a warm tepid sponge compress. The method used is health education with lectures, group discussions and workshops on tepid sponge compresses.
