Pop that heat up to 80 the first day then 84 the next.
Try a dose of salts.

MAKE SURE to keep the oxygen bubbler going cuz warm water has less of it and you want the fish to not have stress.
Id also keep the lights down as well.
If you do treat theres a lot of cheap options.
I prefer a cocktail just no Metho-blue cuz it will kill off yer good bacteria.
Also be sure to do a really thurough substrate vacume and a 50% water change before dosing meds.

I do not recommend increasing the heat...unless you are medicating along with it. The reason being is that the increase in heat (unless run very, very hot) will not kill the ich parasite- it will only speed its reproductive cycle and result in a significant increase in the number of the ich parasites. That said I've had great success treating ich using Seachem medications in conjunction (key) with increased temps
