Abstract: Fever is a clinical symptom that is most common in children and makes parents feel worried. This study aims to examine the effect of combination red onion compress with virgin coconut oil to reduce children’s fever. The combination of red onion contains flavonoids and Allylcysteine sulfoxide (Aliin) compounds while VCO has an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect that can reduce body temperature. The study design uses quasi-experimental with pre and post test control group design. There were 30 participants selecting using simple random sampling, with 15 assigned in the experiment and control group. Data were analyzed using paired t test and unpaired t test. There is a decrease in body temperature after being given a red onion compress for 15 minutes by 3.11% while in warm water compresses of 1.54% There were ststistically significant differences in body temperature between the experiment and control group (p=0.000). Combination red onion with VCO can be used as an alternative int ervention in lowering a child's body temperature during a fever. It is recommended for midwives to apply this intervention to reduce body temperature significantly. (More)
