Abstract

Fever is a problem that often occurs in a child. Although fever is a normal response of the body toward an infection, unless treated properly, it can lead to serious complications. Before using drugs, fever should be overcome with simple things for example red onions. Crushed red onion then placed on the surface of the skin, can control the release of body heat. Because these plants are important for reducing fever, it is necessary to identify the scientific evidence about the effect of red onion on reducing fever in children. This study uses a literature review approach by searching for articles in the Google Scholar and Pubmed databases using keywords “Allium Ascaloricumâ€, “Feverâ€, “Childâ€, and finally got 10 articles matched. Red onion contain compounds such as alliin, cycloalkane, methylation, fluroglucin, kaempferol, and essential oils that have a function to smooth the blood vessels, increase the release of heat by evaporation from the body to the environment, and it can be stated by the difference in body temperature before and after being given a red onion compress. Besides, red onion compresses, warm water compresses, and tepid water sponge compresses have different results in body temperature reduction before and after being compressed
