You must know the difference between dengue fever and ordinary fever<\/a><\/h3>
Demam merupakan penyakit yang sering dialami banyak orang. Namun demam dapat mengindikasikan adanya masalah kesehatan yang besar, terutama jika disertai dengan peningkatan suhu tubuh yang signifikan. Mengingat perbedaan yang signifikan antara demam berdarah dan demam biasa dalam kasus ini, maka penting untuk membedakannya. \n\n Saat seseorang mengalami demam biasa, suhu tubuhnya berada di atas kisaran normal, yaitu 37 derajat Celcius. Biasanya, penyakit ringan hingga berat menjadi penyebab demam biasa. Sakit kepala, nyeri otot, kelelahan, dan menggigil adalah gejala khas flu. Demam yang normal dapat diatasi dengan obat penurun demam seperti parasetamol, banyak minum air putih, dan istirahat yang cukup. Biasanya akan membaik dalam waktu kurang dari tiga hari. \n\n Sebaliknya, demam berdarah adalah penyakit yang berpotensi mengancam jiwa, yang jika tidak ditangani dapat menjadi serius dan berakibat fatal. Virus demam berdarah penyebab demam berdarah ini ditularkan melalui gigitan nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Demam berdarah awalnya bermanifestasi sebagai demam tinggi, sakit kepala, dan nyeri otot, sama seperti demam lainnya. Di sisi lain, petechiae (bintik merah pada kulit) dan mimisan merupakan salah satu gejala pendarahan yang mungkin timbul akibat demam berdarah. Ungkapan “siklus pelana kuda” atau “fase demam naik turun” adalah nama lain dari penyakit demam berdarah. Siklus yang menyerupai bentuk segitiga atas-bawah-atas ini mencerminkan kondisi demam yang dialami pasien demam berdarah. \n\n Sangat penting bagi Anda untuk segera mendapatkan pertolongan medis jika Anda atau seseorang yang Anda kenal mengalami gejala demam berdarah. Untuk memastikan diagnosis dan memberikan perawatan yang tepat, dokter akan melakukan tes darah. Meskipun tidak ada terapi khusus untuk demam berdarah, ada obat yang dapat membantu mengatasi gejala dan menghentikan konsekuensi yang lebih serius. \n\n Demam biasa dan demam berdarah berbeda tidak hanya dalam penyebab dan gejalanya tetapi juga dalam pengobatan dan metode pencegahannya. Pengobatan flu biasa biasanya terdiri dari istirahat yang cukup, tetap terhidrasi, dan penggunaan obat penurun demam. Namun tindakan pencegahan yang lebih ketat diperlukan untuk menghindari penyakit demam berdarah. Hal ini mencakup menyingkirkan tempat perkembangbiakan nyamuk, seperti mengosongkan dan membersihkan area yang dipenuhi air, tidur di bawah kelambu, dan mengenakan pakaian yang melindungi tubuh dari gigitan nyamuk. \n\n Singkatnya, demam berdarah dan demam biasa adalah dua penyakit yang berbeda. Meskipun demam dapat meningkatkan suhu tubuh, demam berdarah adalah penyakit yang lebih berbahaya dan berpotensi fatal. Sangat penting untuk dapat membedakan kedua penyakit ini dan, jika perlu, mencari pertolongan medis yang tepat. Jangan pernah lupa untuk menjaga kebersihan dan mematuhi tindakan pencegahan untuk menghentikan penyebaran demam berdarah. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The effect of type 1 diabetes on children's teeth and mouth<\/a><\/h3>
The influence of diabetes on children's teeth and mouth needs to be watched out for. As quoted from the American Dental Association website, poor blood sugar regulation makes children with diabetes more susceptible to various dental and oral problems. \n\n Objective \n\n Knowing the effect of diabetes on children's oral health. \nKnow how to treat and prevent oral disease in children with diabetes. \nCaring for and maintaining healthy teeth is very important because various dental diseases will arise. It is important to know the symptoms and characteristics of unhealthy teeth and gums. Below is the definition in the medical world of healthy and unhealthy teeth as follows: \n\n Healthy Gums are gums that look firm, bright pink, and are turgid and without bleeding. Vaginal discharge, dark color, and even bleeding or the presence of bruised gums are symptoms of several diseases or infections of the gums. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, regularly brush your teeth at night before going to bed and maintain your eating and drinking habits, so that your food is not too sweet and your drinks are not too hot or cold. \nGingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is a condition that occurs due to inflammation of the gums which is characterized by swelling and redness of the gums around the base of the teeth. The cause of Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is initially the accumulation of food residue on the teeth and gums. The accumulated food residue then hardens and turns into plaque. \nPeriodontitis is a gum infection that damages teeth, soft tissue and the bone that supports teeth. Periodontitis is a complication of untreated gum inflammation (gingivitis). If this condition occurs in the long term, the tissue around the gums and teeth will be damaged, causing tooth loss. Because teeth that have been attacked by gingivitis and are not treated immediately result in infection of the gums and cause bacteria, the gums become swollen and pus appears in the gums. \nThe causes of unhealthy teeth and gums are: \n\n 1. Saliva production decreases \n\n 2. Bacteria and acid easily stick to teeth and gums \n\n 3. Occurrence of gingivitis \n\n 4. Abscesses on the gums, loose teeth and bad breath \n\n Apart from that, make sure to maintain good dental hygiene, namely brush your teeth regularly at least twice a day. Drinking lots of water can also help avoid the risk of bad breath in people with diabetes so that the mouth and throat do not dry out. Check your child's dental health at the nearest pediatric dentist \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cegah Stunting Dengan Gizi Tepat<\/a><\/h3>
Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time, resulting in growth disorders in children, namely the child's height is lower or shorter (stunted) than the age standard. \n\n The condition of a child's short body is often said to be a hereditary (genetic) factor from both parents, so that many people just accept it without doing anything to prevent it. In fact, as we know, genetics is a determinant of health that has the least influence when compared to behavioral, environmental factors (social, economic, cultural, political), and health services. In other words, stunting is a problem that can actually be prevented. \n\n One of the government's current focuses is stunting prevention. This effort aims to ensure that Indonesian children can grow and develop optimally and optimally, accompanied by emotional, social and physical abilities that are ready to learn, and able to innovate and compete at the global level. \n\n \n\n Getting to Know Stunting \n\n Quoting the Indonesian Ministry of Health, stunting is a child's growth and development disorder which is caused by a lack of nutritional intake, infection, or inadequate stimulation. Therefore, it is very important to meet children's nutritional needs and pay attention to their healthy growth and development, so that children do not experience stunting. Stunting is a condition where a toddler has a length or height that is less than the standard for his age which is measured by a length or height that is lower than minus two standard deviations from the median of WHO growth standards. \n\n Fulfillment of Child Nutrition \n\n Fulfilling children's nutrition must also be carried out since your little one is still in the womb. Fulfillment of nutrition, especially in the first 1,000 days of life, is the first effort to avoid stunting. Fulfillment of nutrition includes nutrition during pregnancy and childhood up to the age of two years. The health of pregnant women and children must also be maintained by implementing clean and healthy living habits so as to reduce the frequency of infections in pregnant women and children. \n\n Regular monitoring of children's growth and development also needs to be carried out, both in the womb, every month after birth until they are two years old, then 6-12 months after they are two years old, so that growth delays can be detected immediately for intervention. \n\n Prevent Stunting with Nutrition \n\n So that children are free from the threat of stunting, it is necessary to provide a variety of healthy, nutrient-rich foods to support children's growth and development. Children must get sufficient food intake, according to their age. The composition of the food must also be balanced, between carbohydrates, protein, fat and vitamins and minerals. All nutrients are certainly good and necessary for a child's body, but the following nutrients are the most important for preventing children from experiencing stunting: \n\n \n Protein, Protein is one of the macronutrients that is very important for stunted children. Necessary for growth, building muscle mass, and increasing body endurance,", many children in developing countries lack quality protein and essential amino acids in the diet which has negative consequences for growth and reducing stunting. Milk, chicken eggs and chicken meat are examples of protein sources with the highest amino acid (SAA) scores. This means that 100 percent of chicken milk and egg protein, or 80 percent of chicken meat protein, can be absorbed and used by the body. Meanwhile, beef protein can only be absorbed as much as 69 percent. However, vegetable protein also needs to be consumed. Several types of vegetable protein, for example tofu, tempeh, nuts are also recommended to be consumed every day along with animal protein. \n Zinc, or zinc, is an important type of mineral that the body really needs. How could it not be, its presence in the body can help strengthen immunity, for example: meat, oysters, nuts, legumes, eggs, chocolate, spinach, mushrooms, peas, cashews. \n Zinc. This essential mineral plays a role in the activation and synthesis of growth hormone, maintaining the body's immunity, as an antioxidant and taste function, as well as stabilizing cell membranes,". Some examples of foods rich in zinc are beef, chicken, chicken eggs, shrimp, crab, almonds, chickpeas, pumpkin, sesame, green beans and dairy products. \n Calcium and vitamin D, Calcium is the main component of bones, while vitamin D helps the process of calcium metabolism. Apart from that, calcium is also needed for the nervous system, muscles and heart. \n Iodine Iodine, is a mineral that is important for weight and height growth as well as brain intelligence development. Toddlers who experience iodine deficiency will have a lower intelligent quotient (IQ) than toddlers who have sufficient iodine. \n \n\n Iodine is a mineral needed by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. If you are deficient in this mineral, several health problems may occur. One way to meet these mineral needs is by consuming foods that contain iodine. Examples of foods that contain iodine: Seaweed, cod, shrimp, tuna, milk and plums. \n\n Consult a complete nutrition specialist with a clinical nutrition specialist at RSU Hermina Pandanaran with Dr. Etisa Adi Murbawani, Msi, Sp.GK(K).

Handling Constipation (Constipation), the Gastrointestinal Disturbance<\/a><\/h3>
Constipation (constipation) is a digestive disorder due to decreased intestinal function, where this digestive problem is characterized by complaints of difficulty defecating or not defecating smoothly for a certain period of time. In general, constipation can be defined as irregular bowel movements, namely less than 3 times a week. Even so, the frequency of defecation will be different for each person. Some people may defecate several times a day, while others defecate one to two times a week. This condition is often triggered by a diet that does not consume enough fiber. The frequency of defecation can vary from person to person. Normally, the frequency of defecation is 3 times a day to 3 times a week. In people with constipation, the stool becomes dry and hard, making it difficult to expel from the anus. As a result, the frequency of defecation becomes less than 3 times a week. \n\n Causes of Constipation \n\n This constipation can occur due to blockage of the large intestine or rectum (end of the large intestine) or interference with the nerves around the large intestine and rectum. Apart from that, constipation can also be influenced by increasing age, a low fiber diet or being less active. \n\n The main symptoms of constipation include difficulty passing stool, defecation frequency that is less frequent than usual, and pain when passing stool. Constipation can be said to be chronic if the symptoms have lasted for 3 months. Some of the causes are: \n\n 1. Blockage in the colon or rectum \n\n A blockage in the colon or rectum can slow or stop the movement of stool. The causes include: \n\n \n Small tears in the skin around the anus (anal fissure) \n Blockage in the intestine (intestinal obstruction) \n Colon cancer \n Narrowing of the large intestine \n Cancer in the stomach that causes pressure on the large intestine \n Rectal cancer \n The rectum protrudes from the back wall of the vagina \n \n\n 2. Nerve disorders around the colon and rectum \nNerve disorders can inhibit the work of the muscles of the large intestine and rectum in pushing stool. This condition can be caused by: \n\n \n Damage to the nerves that control body functions (autonomic neuropathy) \n Parkinson's disease \n Spinal cord injury \n Strokes \n Multiple sclerosis \n \n\n 3. Disorders of the pelvic muscles \nDisorders of the pelvic muscles which function to help defecate can cause chronic constipation. These disorders can include contraction disorders or weakening of the pelvic muscles. \n\n 4. Hormonal disorders \nSeveral types of hormones function to balance body fluids. If there is a disturbance in these hormones, the balance of body fluids is also disturbed, triggering constipation. Some of the causes are: \n\n \n Diabetes \n Hyperparathyroidism \n Pregnancy \n Hypothyroidism \n \n\n \nConstipation Risk Factors \n\n There are a number of factors that can increase the risk of constipation in adults, namely: \n\n \n Increasing age \n Female gender, especially during pregnancy and after giving birth \n Dehydration \n Low fiber diet \n Not active enough to move \n Side effects of drugs, such as laxatives, antacids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, calcium antagonists, diuretics, iron supplements, and drugs for Parkinson's disease \n Mental disorders, such as anxiety or depression \n Resisting the urge to defecate \n Have had abdominal or pelvic surgery \n \n\n Meanwhile, in babies and children, constipation can be triggered by the following factors: \n\n \n Drink less and consume fiber foods \n Worried or worried about something, for example moving house, going to school for the first time \n Anxiety or distress when practicing defecation in the bathroom \n \n\n Constipation Symptoms \n\n Constipation can be characterized by the following symptoms: \n\n \n The frequency of defecation (BAB) is less frequent than usual or less than 3 times a week \n Difficulty passing feces \n Pain when defecating \n Having to push when defecating \n The stool looks dry, hard, or lumpy \n Defecation feels incomplete \n A lump sensation in the rectum (the end of the large intestine) \n Bloated \n Nauseous \n Cramps or pain in the stomach \n Need help to remove stool, such as pressing on the stomach or using a finger to remove stool from the anus \n \n\n \nConstipation Management \n\n Constipation treatment aims to speed up the movement of stool in the intestine so that it is excreted more easily and more regularly. Treatment methods include: \n\n 1. Lifestyle changes \n\n The first treatment for constipation is to change your diet or lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle, such as drinking water, exercising regularly, eating vegetables and fruit. \n\n 2. Use of drugs \n\n If lifestyle changes do not resolve constipation, your doctor will prescribe laxatives \n\n 3. Pelvic muscle exercises \n\n If necessary, patients can also train their pelvic muscles to make defecating easier. An exercise that can be done is biofeedback therapy, which involves inserting a catheter into the rectum to measure rectal muscle tension. \n\n In this exercise, the patient will be guided to tighten or relax the pelvic muscles with the help of sound or light. This sound or light will signal when the muscles have relaxed. \n\n 4. Operation \n\n To treat constipation due to intestinal obstruction, a tear in the anus (anal fissure), or rectal prolapse, the doctor will perform a surgical procedure. Surgery is also performed if constipation is caused by cancer of the colon, rectum or anus. \n\n Constipation can be treated by making lifestyle changes, for example by improving your diet and exercising regularly. However, if these efforts do not resolve constipation, your doctor may recommend the use of medication or other measures. Apart from being a way to deal with constipation, changing your lifestyle to a healthier one can also prevent constipation. Constipation can also be prevented by not making a habit of delaying defecation. \n\n Friends of Hermina who have symptoms or complaints regarding constipation can consult with a specialist in digestive surgery at Hermina Pandanaran Hospital.

Dangerous Little Monster Bites | Dengue Virus Infection<\/a><\/h3>
Dengue virus infection is a disease caused by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti. Dengue fever is the fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease in the world. The little monster sucks blood during the day and breeds in clean, stagnant water. \n\n Signs and symptoms : \n\n \n More severe sufferers often complain of heartburn accompanied by restlessness and sweating a lot, but the skin feels cold. \n High fever for 2-7 days. \n Complaining of dizziness, aching joints, stomach pain, nausea, and loss of appetite accompanied by vomiting. \n Red spots appear on the skin (petechiae), and if pressed, they won't go away. \n \n\n In general, sufferers of dengue virus infection will experience a fever phase for 2–7 days. In the first phase, 1-3 days, the sufferer will experience a fairly high fever of 40°C. In the second phase, the sufferer experiences a critical phase on days 4–5, on In this phase, the patient will experience a decrease in fever to 370 °C, and the patient will feel able to carry out activities again (feel healed again). In this phase, if you do not receive adequate treatment, a fatal condition can occur. There will be a drastic decrease in platelets due to the rupture of blood vessels (bleeding). In the third phase, which will occur on the 6–7th day, the sufferer will feel the fever again. This phase is called the recovery phase, and in this phase, the platelets will slowly rise back to \n\n First aid \n\n When the initial symptoms appear, sufferers drink as much as possible so that their body does not lack fluids, take fever-reducing medication and warm compresses, and immediately come to the hospital for treatment. Apart from the actions above, the most effective step is to fortify yourself by increasing your body's endurance. Maintain stamina by exercising, getting enough rest, and consuming a nutritious diet. \n\n Prevention \n\n Prevention of dengue fever can be done by carrying out a mosquito nest eradication (PSN) program with 3M Plus, namely : \n\n \n Drain or clean the water reservoir \n Close the water reservoir tightly \n Drain or clean the water reservoir. \n Plus additional prevention, such as fogging or repairing ditches that are not smooth. \n \n\n PSN 3M Plus must be carried out regularly to create a clean environment free from mosquitoes, which cause dengue virus infection. It can also be prevented by undergoing the dengue vaccine. Based on research results, it was found that this vaccine has the best efficacy results in children aged 9–16 years, whereas when given under the age of 9 years, it will increase the risk of being treated for dengue infection and increase the risk of getting severe dengue, especially in children in the 2–5 year age group. So, the dengue vaccine can be given to children aged 9–16 three times at a distance of six months. Vaccination can also be started at any time when a child is 9 to 16 years old. \n\n If a Hermina friend experiences a fever with similar symptoms, immediately have your health checked at Hermina Pasteur Hospital to get appropriate treatment. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Getting to know Stunting, causes and ways to prevent it in children<\/a><\/h3>
Stuntingthat ischronic nutritional problems due to lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time resulting in impaired growth in children. Stunting is also one of the causes of stunted height in children, making them lower than children their age. It is not uncommon for people to think that short stature is a genetic factor and has nothing to do with health problems. In fact, genetic factors have a small influence on a person's health condition compared to environmental factors and health services. Usually, stunting begins to occur when the child is still in the womb and becomes visible when they are two years old. Stunting has symptoms that you can recognize, for example: \n\n \n His face looks younger than his age \n Delayed body and tooth growth \n Has poor ability to focus and learning memory \n Delayed puberty \n When they are 8-10 years old, children tend to be quieter and don't make much eye contact with the people around them \n Lighter weight for a child his age \n \n\n The Ministry of Health emphasizes that stunting is a major threat to the quality of Indonesian society. Not only does it interfere with physical growth, children also experience brain development disorders which will affect their abilities and achievements. Apart from that, children who suffer from stunting will have a history of poor health due to poor immune system. Stunting can also be passed on to the next generation if it is not treated seriously. \n\n Considering that stunting is a health problem that is quite dangerous, understanding the factors that cause stunting is very important. That way, you can take preventive steps to avoid it. \n\n Here are several factors that cause stunting that you need to know: \n\n 1. Malnutrition for a Long Time \nWithout realizing it, the causes of stunting can basically occur when the child is in the womb. Because, from the time they are in the womb, children may experience malnutrition problems. The reason is because the mother does not have access to healthy and nutritious food such as high protein food, which causes her baby to also lack nutrition. Apart from that, low intake of vitamins and minerals consumed by the mother can also influence the condition of fetal malnutrition. Malnutrition from the womb can also be the biggest cause of stunting in children. \n\n 2. Less effective parenting \nIneffective parenting patterns are also one of the causes of stunting in children. Parenting here is related to the behavior and practices of giving food to children. If parents do not provide good nutritional intake, children can experience stunting. Apart from that, maternal factors that are poor in nutrition during adolescence and pregnancy and poor lactation can also affect the child's growth and brain. \n\n 3. Diet \nLow access to food with high nutritional value and an unbalanced diet can affect children's growth and increase the risk of stunting. This is because mothers do not understand the concept of nutrition before, during and after giving birth. \n\n 4. Not having postpartum care \nAfter the baby is born, it is best for the mother and baby to receive postnatal care. It is also highly recommended for babies to receive breast milk directly to strengthen their immune system. Postnatal care is considered necessary to detect disorders that the mother and child may experience after delivery. \n\n 5. Mental disorders and hypertension in mothers \nIneffective parenting patterns are also one of the causes of stunting in children. Parenting here is related to the behavior and practices of giving food to children. If parents do not provide good nutritional intake, children can experience stunting. Apart from that, maternal factors that are poor in nutrition during adolescence and pregnancy and poor lactation can also affect the child's growth and brain. \n\n 6. Recurring infections \nRecurrent infections in children are caused by the body's immune system not working optimally. When a child's immune system does not function well, the risk of developing various types of health problems, including stunting, becomes higher. Because stunting is a disease that is susceptible to children, it is a good idea to always ensure that your child's immunity is maintained so that they avoid infection. \n\n 7. Sanitation Factors \nPoor sanitation and limited access to clean water will increase the risk of stunting in children. If children grow up in an environment with inadequate sanitation and water conditions, this can affect their growth. Low access to health services is also one of the factors causing stunting. \n\n \n\n How to Prevent Stunting? \n\n \n\n 1. Routine inspection \nDuring pregnancy, mothers need to have regular check-ups or examinations to ensure their weight is appropriate for their gestational age. Pregnant women should also not experience anemia or lack of blood because this will affect the fetus in the womb. This blood pressure control can be done during routine check-ups. \n\n 2. Understand the concept of nutrition \nMake sure you get enough nutritional intake every day, especially during pregnancy. Understand the concept of nutrition well and apply it in parenting patterns. \n\n 3. Various menu choices \nTry to always provide a varied food menu for children. Don't forget the nutrition and nutritional factors they need every day. During pregnancy and afterward, mothers also need to get good and balanced nutrition to avoid stunting problems. \n\n 4. Consume Folic Acid \nFolic acid plays an important role in supporting the development of the baby's brain and spinal cord. This substance can also reduce the risk of pregnancy disorders by up to 72%. By consuming folic acid, failure in the development of the baby's organs during pregnancy can also be prevented. \n\n 5. Improve Cleanliness \nRecurrent infections in children are caused by the body's immune system not working optimally. When a child's immune system does not function well, the risk of developing various types of health problems, including stunting, becomes higher. Because stunting is a disease that is susceptible to children, it is a good idea to always ensure that your child's immunity is maintained so that they avoid infection. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Polio: Still Challenging Despite Being Controlled<\/a><\/h3>
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is an infectious disease caused by the polio virus. Despite significant control through vaccination, polio remains a global health problem, especially in some underdeveloped regions. This article will discuss the causes, symptoms, control efforts, and the challenges still faced in the effort to eradicate polio. \n\n Causes and Transmission \n\n The polio virus spreads through direct contact with the feces of infected individuals or through small droplets released from their nose or mouth. Primarily affecting the nervous system and causing paralysis, polio mainly impacts children under the age of five. While not everyone infected will show symptoms, those who do may experience permanent muscle paralysis, especially in the legs and limbs. \n\n Polio Symptoms \n\n Symptoms of polio range from mild to severe. Some infected individuals may only experience mild flu-like symptoms, while others may suffer permanent paralysis. Common symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, fatigue, and stiff or painful muscles. In severe cases, the polio virus can damage nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain, leading to permanent paralysis. \n\n Polio Control Efforts \n\n Efforts to control polio are focused on mass vaccination. The polio vaccine, first developed by Jonas Salk in 1955, has successfully dramatically reduced the number of polio cases worldwide. Mass vaccination programs, especially those conducted by global health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), have played a significant role in reducing the spread of the virus. \n\n Challenges in Polio Eradication \n\n Despite significant progress in eradicating polio, there are still challenges to overcome. In some isolated or conflict-affected regions, reaching the target population with vaccinations can be difficult. Additionally, some communities may reject vaccination due to cultural reasons or vaccine hesitancy. Therefore, ongoing efforts in education and advocacy are necessary to convince the public of the importance of vaccination. \n\n \n \n\n Polio is a preventable infectious disease through vaccination. While progress has been made in controlling this disease, challenges persist, particularly in reaching inaccessible regions and addressing vaccine hesitancy. Collaborative efforts from various stakeholders, including governments, health organizations, and communities, remain essential to achieve the ultimate goal of global polio eradication. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Early Detection of Cancer in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Cancer in children is difficult to recognize. Childhood cancer is different from adult cancer. Cancer in adults can be prevented, while in children it cannot. Childhood cancer is not easy to detect early because, in the early stages, sufferers rarely make complaints, and the symptoms are easy to see, so they need to be alert. Cancer in children can arise in various organs of the body. The cure for cancer in children really depends on the type of cancer, the stage of the disease when diagnosed, and the response to treatment. For several types of cancer in children, the cure rate is quite high. \n\n Cancer in children needs to be detected early because if cancer is diagnosed early, the prognosis is better. Stage 1 or 2 cancer has a better prognosis than stage 3 or 4. There are three ways to detect and diagnose cancer early in children, namely: \n\n \n Early detection of cancer in children in high-risk groups, namely: \n\n \n Children with neurocutaneous syndromes (disorders involving the nervous system and skin). \n Chromosomal abnormalities Down syndrome (a genetic disorder) and Fanconi anemia (a rare inherited condition that affects the bone marrow and many other parts of the body). \n Immunodeficiency (a condition when the body is unable to fight infection and disease). \n Previous history of malignancy. \n family history of malignancy. \n congenital defects and syndromes such as Beckwith-Weidman syndrome (impaired growth syndrome), aniridia (absence of the iris), and hemihypertrophy (a condition where one side of the body grows more than the other). \n \n \n Be alert for childhood cancer where the symptoms involve the body's systems. \n \n Hematological system and bone marrow; \n Brain (CNS); \n Lymph gland \n Intra-abdominal tumors; \n Intra-thoracic tumors \n Soft tissue (muscle) and bone \n \n \n Early signs of childhood cancer include: \n \n pallor and purpura; \n persistent fever for no apparent reason; \n weight loss; \n lumps or tumors on the head, abdomen, pelvis, trunk, arms, or legs. \n Enlarged cervical lymph nodes; \n Neurological symptoms, seizures, and headaches; \n Eye symptoms; \n Bone and joint pain \n \n \n \n\n The aim of cancer treatment in children is to destroy or get rid of malignant cancer and to limit or minimize its growth and spread. \n\n Cancer in children, although relatively rare compared to adults, remains a serious problem in the world of health. Cancer in children is difficult to recognize because the symptoms are not specific, and vigilance is needed for the early detection of cancer in children. Children with symptoms suggestive of cancer should be referred to a pediatrician or pediatric cancer center. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize the Severe Symptoms of Dengue Fever that You Should Be Aware of<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends, Dengue fever can be divided into two types, namely dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever. The difference lies in the leakage of blood vessels. Dengue hemorrhagic fever causes blood vessel leakage, while dengue fever does not.\nDengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an infectious disease caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito which carries the dengue virus. Other types of Aedes mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus, Aedes polynesiensis, and Aedes scutellaris can also be vectors of the dengue virus but are not as effective as Aedes aegypti. When a person is infected with the dengue virus due to an Aedes Aegypti mosquito bite, the virus will move to that person's body and incubate for a long time. 4 to 10 days and then causes symptoms of infection. \n\n Symptoms of dengue fever\n\nThe symptoms of dengue fever can indeed be seen as something that is "deceptive", because the initial symptoms are very similar to the symptoms caused by other viruses. In general, a person will experience signs of dengue fever within 4 - 6 days after being infected by the dengue virus.\n\nA person affected by dengue fever will experience a sudden high fever reaching a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius. Apart from fever, dengue fever sufferers can experience severe headaches, muscle aches, nausea and heartburn, signs of bleeding such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and red spots appearing on the skin.\n\nFever mainly lasts in the first 1 - 2 days, and will go down on day 3. However, between day 3 to day 5 when the fever is going down, this is actually the critical period for dengue fever, where fluid leaks from the blood vessels. which is accompanied by a decrease in platelet values, requiring fluid therapy and close observation. \n\n Symptoms of Severe DHF\n\nIt is not uncommon for dengue fever to cause fatalities due to late treatment. Moreover, if the dengue fever patient has entered a dangerous severe phase.\n\nTo prevent complications from this disease, you need to know the signs and symptoms of severe dengue fever.\n\nThe following are signs and symptoms of severe dengue fever that you need to be aware of early:\n\n1. Severe weakness and restlessness\n2. Decreased consciousness\n3. Hypotension (low or decreasing blood pressure)\n4. Both hands and feet feel cold\n5. Severe stomach pain\n6. Continuous vomiting or black vomit\n7. Difficulty breathing\n8. Bleeding\n\nLaboratory results show an increase in hematocrit or hemoconcentration of more than 20% from the initial value, along with a rapid decrease in platelet count below 100,000 \n\n X-ray results showed a buildup of fluid in the lungs\nRecognizing the signs and symptoms of severe dengue fever early is very important. Dengue fever that is considered severe can affect the blood vessels and lymph vessels, and if not treated early can cause circulatory system failure.\nIt needs to be understood that severe dengue fever is a life-threatening medical emergency, so this method of treating Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever needs to be done immediately. \n\n Dengue prevention\nHow to prevent dengue fever (DHF) at home. As previously explained, dengue hemorrhagic fever, aka DHF, is transmitted through the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with the dengue virus. If not treated properly, patients are at risk of experiencing dengue fever complications which can be fatal. It is important to prevent dengue fever so that you avoid this risk. Maybe you yourself are very familiar with the dengue fever (DHF) prevention slogan which reads 3M: drain, cover and bury. However, the principle of preventing dengue fever is not just that. The most important way is to ensure that you are not bitten by the Aedes aegypti mosquito to avoid transmitting dengue fever. This can be done by keeping the environment clean, as well as using mosquito repellents to prevent them from breeding in the house \n\n 1. Apply 3M Plus (Drain, Cover, Recycle. Plus prevents mosquito bites and breeding)\n2. Install screens and mosquito nets to prevent dengue mosquitoes from entering the house\n3. Don't pile or hang clothes for too long. Do you have the habit of putting off folding the laundry and letting it just pile up? If not, are you used to hanging clothes behind the door, or piling dirty laundry in the corner of the room? It is best to stop this habit as a preventive measure for dengue fever\n4. Wear closed clothing when leaving the house, you will be more susceptible to being bitten by Aedes mosquitoes in the morning and evening\n5. Fogging\n6. Plant mosquito repellent plants such as lemongrass, lavender, zodia and others\n7. DHF vaccination \n\n That is an explanation of the symptoms of dengue fever and several ways that can be done to prevent dengue fever. Starting from regularly cleaning or draining water reservoirs, to installing mosquito nets. Apart from that, several other methods can also be used to maximize dengue prevention. One of them is that wearing closed clothes when leaving the house will make you more susceptible to being bitten by Aedes mosquitoes in the morning and evening.\nDHF is difficult to detect from the start, therefore if Hermina Friends experience typical symptoms of DHF such as red spots on the skin or a number of other symptoms, immediately consult a doctor at Hermina Mekarsari Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

When is it time for tonsillitis surgery?<\/a><\/h3>
Tonsils are lymphoid tissue whose job it is to maintain the body's defenses or immunity. Tonsils are not only found in the oral cavity; they are also found in other areas, such as those behind the nose, or adenoids, and under the tongue, which are called lingual tonsils. The three tonsils are all lymphoid tissue, which is often also called Waldeyer's ring, which is an organ whose job it is to maintain the body's defenses or body immunity in the upper respiratory tract. \n\n Causes of Tonsillitis \nThere are many factors that can cause inflammation of the tonsils, including: \n\n \n Bacterial or viral infections that attack the immune system \n Allergies or atopy, especially in children whose parents have a history of allergies or atopy \n Often, people consume sweet foods such as chocolate, fizzy drinks, or ready-to-drink drinks with high sugar content, which can trigger reactions such as allergies, namely inflammation. Apart from that, plaque from food will stick to the throat cavity or teeth. \n \n\n Symptoms of Tonsillitis \n\n We can divide the inflammation of the tonsils into two phases, namely acute and chronic. The acute phase is the phase when you are sick. Complaints include pain when swallowing and coughing. Some people also experience cold symptoms, coughing with a thick slurp, and fever. In the chronic phase, or if you have had tonsillitis for a long time, the symptoms are frequent snoring, sleep apnea, or stopping breathing during sleep. This sleep apnea will, of course, cause the child's sleep to be of poor quality and can cause the child to have frequent tantrums and become weak and sleepy quickly. In the long term, this will, of course, cause the child to become an individual who is easily angry and has difficulty concentrating. Apart from that, chronic tonsillitis will also cause recurring coughs and colds. \n\n Does Tonsillitis Require Surgery? \nThere are several criteria for patients to undergo tonsillectomy. Absolute criteria include frequent shortness of breath during sleep, sleep apnea, and severe snoring. There are also relative criteria, namely recurring coughs and colds with a frequency of more than five times a year. However, before proceeding to surgery, of course, treatment will be carried out with medication during the acute phase. Of course, surgery is carried out electively if the patient has passed the acute phase. \n\n Hermina friends, see the complete explanation about tonsillitis on the Hermina Hospitals Youtube channel (click here). \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
