ABSTRACT: Meningoencephalitis is an inflammation that causes symptoms such as fever, severe headaches, convulsions, impaired consciousness and even death if not treated properly. One of the symptoms experienced by meningoencephalitis patients is an increase in body temperature. This body temperature can be treated with compresses. One compress that can be done is to use lemongrass or lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus).
Objective: To intervene with warm lemongrass compresses to reduce body temperature.
Method: Quantitative descriptive with pre-test and post-test. The sample used was 1 child patient who was diagnosed with meningoencephalitis with signs of hyperthermia.
Research Results: After the intervention of giving warm lemongrass compresses for 3 days, significant results were obtained, namely a decrease in body temperature to 36.1'C.
Conclusion: Warm lemongrass compress is effective in reducing body temperature in meningoencephalitis patients.
KEYWORDS:Pediatric Patients, Meningoencephalitis, Warm Compress, Lemongrass, Reducing Body Temperature.
