Exclusive Breastfeeding For Increase the Little One's Body Resistance<\/a><\/h3>
Do you know Mother? Breast milk is one of the gifts given by God to increase the immune system of the Little One. Babies who are breastfed at birth are known to have a lower risk of going to hospital than babies who are not breastfed. This is because breast milk can protect your little one right after he is born. \n\n The first milk that comes out is yellowish in color. Sometimes there are some mothers who throw away the milk because it is yellow in color and think that the milk is not good. In fact, the first breast milk that comes out is colostrum or which contains antibodies to strengthen the little one's body's resistance to fighting infection. These antibodies are very important so that your little one's immune system can work perfectly. \n\n In the content of breast milk there are many cells, especially in the first weeks of breastfeeding. Colostrum and first milk contain 1-3 million white blood cells (leukocytes) per ml. In mature breast milk, namely breast milk after 2-3 months of breastfeeding, the number of these cells decreases to 1000 cells per ml consisting of monocytes/macrophages (59-63%), neutrophil cells (18-23%), and lymphocyte cells (7- 13%) breast milk also contains protective (protective) factors that dissolve in breast milk such as lysozyme enzymes, lactoferrin (as iron binders), cytokines (substances produced by immune cells to influence other cell functions), and proteins that can bind vitamin B12, bifidus factor, enzymes, and antioxidants. \n\n Given that there are so many cells that can boost your little one's immunity, you must always be enthusiastic about giving exclusive breastfeeding. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of your little one's life. Breast milk is the only food source that can be consumed by the Little One. Furthermore, your little one can be given complementary food while still being given breast milk until he is 2 years old. \n\n So How is the mother being away from the baby? Maybe the mother is working, traveling or the mother is sick and is being cared for separately by the baby? \n\n Don't worry mother, mother must remain enthusiastic in pumping breast milk. Mothers can continue to pump breast milk every 3 hours so that breast milk can continue to produce properly. The more often the mother pumps breast milk, the more milk production that comes out. \n\n Mothers can pump breast milk and put breast milk in bottles or breast milk bags. The quality of breast milk will remain the same, whether stored in the refrigerator or breast milk given directly to the baby, as long as the storage is correct and according to the recommended storage standards. \n\n How to properly store breast milk? \n\n \n For storage at room temperature, breast milk that has been pumped and placed in a container will last for approximately 8 hours. \n Expressed breast milk lasts up to 24 hours when stored in a cooler box added with an ice pack \n Expressed breast milk lasts up to 5 days, when placed in the refrigerator section of the refrigerator with a minimum temperature of 4°C \n Expressed breast milk lasts up to 6 months in the freezer at 18°C below the freezing point of 0°C (-18°C). Cold temperatures can increase the antimicrobial function of breast milk and inhibit the activity of microbial growth that damages breast milk. \n \n\n It's so easy to store breast milk that has been expressed, isn't it Mother? Keep the spirit in loving. Hopefully the little one is always healthy mother. If there are complaints about your little one's health, immediately check his health with the pediatrician at RSU Hermina Medan. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Prevent Congenital Heart Disease in Children<\/a><\/h3>
The cause of congenital heart disease (CHD) in children is not known with certainty. However, there are several risk factors that can be avoided during pregnancy to prevent children from being born with CHD. there are risk factorsPJBchild during the mother's pregnancy, but that does not mean that the relationship is causal. There are so many risk factors, but there are at least three factors that have been extensively discussed in recent literature. If the cause is unknown, but risk factors exist, for example rubella infection, folic acid deficiency, andpregnant mothertaking drugs such as for seizures. \n\n These three factors can cause interference with the process of fetal formation. Previously, it was known that smoking mothers and drinking alcohol were included as risk factors for babies born with CHD. However, it turns out that there are many cases of mothers who don't smoke also give birth to children with CHD. The way to prevent it is by not missing the rubella vaccine. The goal is that during pregnancy, the mother does not get any infection. It is also important for mothers to consume nutritious food and folic acid supplements during pregnancy. \n\n CHD is the second largest contributor (17 percent) after prematurity as a cause of death in the neonatal period, according to data in Indonesia in 2017. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in 100 newborns suffers from CHD with 25 percent of them being critical CHD or two to four per 1,000 live births. \n\n For children who have symptoms, an echocardiography examination can be done. Currently, oximetry can be said to be sensitive, faster, and cheaper by placing it on the right hand and left leg. \n\n Delay in diagnosis is still a problem in Indonesia. The simplest examination can be through an oximeter, or with a stethoscope, if a murmur is heard, then you should think about having your heart checked. \n\n Clinical symptoms of CHD include slow weight gain. Critical CHD can be found in the first week of age, 24-48 hours. \n\n Get checked out immediatelydoctorpediatric cardiac consultant pediatrician at RSU Hermina Medan if you or your child experience symptoms of congenital heart disease as previously mentioned.

Male circumcision: when is the right time?<\/a><\/h3>
Many already know that, apart from being obligatory for Muslim men, circumcision has many health benefits, such as preventing urinary tract infections and phimosis, or pain on the head of the penis due to the foreskin or the scalp of the penis, which is firmly attached to the head of the penis. In addition, circumcision can also reduce the occurrence of penile cancer and, of course, make the health of the penis better. Besides that, infection can also inhibit the growth of a child's weight, so that it is not in accordance with the development of his age. \n\n   \n\n What is the right age for circumcision? \n\n Many parents are afraid their children will be circumcised when they are babies, or even vice versa. Actually, there is no standard age at which it is right to perform circumcision. However, on the medical side, it's actually better if it's done earlier because healing will be faster. Children are still not very active, so most don't need general anesthesia. \n\n   \n\n Myth or Fact: do circumcised children grow bigger or taller faster? \n\n Circumcision is simply the act of removing the foreskin, or prepuce, of the scalp of the penis. There are no specific hormones that trigger weight gain or height. In Indonesia, the average male circumcision is at the age of pre-puberty, around the age of 8–9 years, so it seems as if it makes the child look bigger and taller after being circumcised. \n\n   \n\n What should parents pay attention to after a child is circumcised? \n\n Of course, parents must maintain the cleanliness of the postoperative area so that infection does not occur. Avoid exposure to water for about 4–5 days. The wound will usually dry in 4-5 days. During this time, parents will be given education on how to treat surgical scars, such as by applying ointment. It is recommended that children be given nutritious food with high protein content to accelerate the wound healing process after surgery. \n\n   \n\n So, there is no reason for fathers and mothers to delay their little one from having a circumcision. Because there are so many benefits. It would be better if the circumcision procedure was carried out in consultation with an expert, such as a pediatric surgeon. \n\n   \n\n Watch the Hermina Podcast episode about the full benefits of circumcision from Dr. Nanok Edi Susilo, Sp. BA, on the Hermina Hospitals YouTube channel (Click Here). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Often mistaken for a Stye, this is a Chalazion, a lump in the eye that makes you uncomfortable<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friend, Have you ever had a lump on your eyelid? Be careful; don't just think of it as a nodule. Yes, it could be a sign that your eyes are not doing well. The problem of lumps on the eyelids that are similar to nodules, one of which is chalazion, Chalazion itself is a swelling or lump that can occur on the eyelids; this lump is also sometimes referred to as an eyelid cyst or meibomian cyst. This lump starts with the accumulation of oil glands (meibomian), which slowly causes a blockage. At first, a lump will usually make the eye feel uncomfortable and can also be painful, but gradually the pain will decrease. \n\n   \n\n Causes of Chalazion \n\n Chalazion is usually caused by inflammation that occurs in the oil (meibomian) glands in the eyelids. The meibomian glands are used by the eyes as a lubricant needed to moisturize and protect the eyes. Inflammation that occurs in the meibomian glands causes the lubricant produced to thicken and become a blockage in the meibomian gland ducts. In addition to blockages, infection can be one of the causes. \n\n   \n\n Risk Factors \n\n Apart from being caused by a blockage or infection, several risk factors can cause Friends of Hermina to get chalazion, including : \n\n \n Suffering from skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne rosacea. \n Experienced Kalazion before \n Suffering from TB (Tuberculosis) \n Suffering from inflammation of the eyelids \n \n\n   \n\n Chalazion Symptoms \n\n Typical symptoms that occur with chalazion sufferers are usually marked by the appearance of a small lump on the upper eyelid, but it turns out that besides the lump that appears, there are several other symptoms that often occur, including : \n\n \n Watery eyes \n Swelling in the eye area \n Mild eye irritation (red eyes) \n An uncomfortable sensation in the eyes because there is a feeling of being stuck. \n Vision is out of focus if it occurs in a large enough circle. \n \n\n   \n\n Chalazion Treatment \n\n In some conditions, chalazions can be treated independently at home. This is because chalazions can improve on their own after a few days or even weeks after a lump appears. Independent therapies that Hermina's friends can do at home include : \n\n \n Clean the eyelid area 1-2 times a day. \n Do a compress on the swollen eyelid area using warm water. \n Gently massage the lump to remove fluid from the lump. Make sure your hands are clean so they don't become infected. \n \n\n If the independent handler has been carried out but the situation has not improved, immediately do an examination with an ophthalmologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Friends of Hermina can also do an online consultation through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it true that a toothache is better than heartache because of a breakup?<\/a><\/h3>
In the decade of the 90s, this song from the late Meggy Z was once popular with the title "Toothache", Some of the lyrics are as follows: \n\n "Rather than heartache, It's better to have this toothache. So, it's okay, willing, willing, willing, I'm willing, willing, willing, I'm willing...." (source: Kapanlagi.com) \n\n If there is a question of which pain is better, toothache or heartache due to a breakup, it is better not to have both because both toothache and heartache due to a breakup feel pain. Heartache because of a breakup is our feeling or mental pain, while toothache is our physical pain; each one cannot be compared and has a different way of healing. \n\n The discussion this time will be more about toothache and how to cure and prevent it. \n\n A toothache is when a tooth feels sore or painful, with varying degrees of severity. Usually, it is caused by various problems with the gums and teeth. In addition, these symptoms can also indicate disease in other parts of the body. For example, problems with the jaw joint, an earache, a sinus infection, or heart disease. \n\n Causes of Toothache \n\n Damage to the teeth is the main cause of toothache. Bacteria that live in the mouth can multiply because of the sugar or juice in the food you eat. These bacteria then form a sticky plaque that sticks to the tooth surface. The acids that build up in plaque can erode the hard white coating on the outside of the teeth, known as enamel, causing cavities to form. \n\n Toothache can be caused by the following conditions: \n\n 1. Tooth abscess \n\n Infection of the teeth caused by bacteria that causes pus-filled lumps around the teeth. \n\n 2. Broken or Cracked Teeth \n\n Broken teeth can cause pain when chewing or eating. \n\n 3. After Dental Treatment \n\n After carrying out dental treatment, such as fillings, tooth extractions, or placing crowns, teeth can become painful or uncomfortable. \n\n 4. Habit Bruxism: Teeth Grinding \n\n Bad habits that you sometimes do without realizing it can also cause pain. \n\n 5. Diseases of the Gums \n\n Toothache can appear when the gums experience health problems, such as infection of the gums. \n\n 6: Exposure of the Root Surface of the Tooth \n\n This condition can result when the bones and gums that protect the roots don't close properly. \n\n 7. Sinusitis \n\n Sinusitis that you don't handle properly can actually trigger toothaches. \n\n   \n\n actors that Increase the Risk of Toothache \n\n Some factors that can increase the likelihood of getting a toothache are: \n\n Often, we consume foods that contain lots of sugar. \n1. Does not maintain good dental hygiene and rarely flosses or brushes teeth \n2. Dry mouth \n3. Smoking habit. \n4. Have eating problems such as anorexia or bulimia. \n5. Using certain drugs \n\n Toothache Symptoms \n\n The jaw area adjacent to the infected tooth can experience pain in the teeth. This pain can be felt and feels soft to the touch. Besides pain, other symptoms may include: \n\n 1. Dizzy, \n2. Fever \n3. Bad odor from an infected tooth \n4. swelling around the infected tooth \n\n The pain in the tooth is usually worse at night or when lying down. Apart from that, pain can also get worse when you eat and drink anything, especially food or drinks that are hot, cold, too sweet, or too sour. \n\n Treatment or first aid for toothache at home \n\n You can do the following things to relieve toothache as first aid: \n\n 1. Gargle with salt water. \n\n To gargle, mix half a teaspoon of salt with a glass of warm water. \n\n 2. Brushing Teeth or Flossing \n\n Sometimes brushing alone is not enough to clean between the teeth. To prevent the spread of the bacteria that cause this condition, clean your teeth with dental floss as well. \n\n 3. Apply antiseptic medicine. \n\n Apply an antiseptic drug with benzocaine to the aching tooth to relieve pain. \n\n 4. Taking pain relievers \n\n OTC pain relievers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can help relieve toothaches. \n\n 5. Cold Compress \n\n To reduce pain by compressing the painful area with ice cubes wrapped in a cloth. \n\n Immediately consult a dentist if your toothache does not go away for more than one or two days, if you have a fever, or if you show signs of infection such as swelling, red gums, and foul-smelling discharge. \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Role Of Sleep In Physical And Mental Health<\/a><\/h3>
Sleep is an important activity in maintaining one's physical and mental health. Apart from being a time of rest for the body, sleep also has an important role in repairing body cells, strengthening the immune system, and helping the recovery process after physical and mental activities. Lack of sleep is known to affect a person's psychological condition and mental health. On the other hand, people who have problems with mental health often also experience sleep disturbances, for example insomnia or difficulty sleeping at night. \n\n Sleep disturbances are also often one of the signs that appear as symptoms of mental health disorders. Sleep is one of the basic human needs. After a day of activities, quality sleep at night can help maintain body condition and restore energy to return to activities the next day. Adults generally need about 7-8 hours of sleep at night. \n\n Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, have long been observed as one of the symptoms that arise from most mental health problems. In the sleep process, there are four stages that the body will go through before falling asleep perfectly. When your body tries to sleep, your body temperature drops, your muscles relax, and your heart rate and breathing slow down. The deepest stage of this phase produces physiological changes that will help the immune system function. The following is the role of sleep in maintaining physical and mental health: \n\n 1. Repair body cells \n\n Sleep is the ideal time for the body to repair cells damaged by exposure to a bad environment or fatigue after daily activities. During sleep, the body will produce growth hormone which helps repair damaged body cells and strengthen bones and muscles. Therefore, lack of sleep can cause the body's recovery process to be disturbed, so that the body becomes vulnerable to various diseases and infections. \n\n 2. Strengthen the immune system \n\n Sleep also has an important role in strengthening the immune system. During sleep, the body will produce proteins called cytokines that play a role in fighting infection and inflammation in the body. In addition, sleep also helps increase the number of immune cells in the body so that it can strengthen the immune system and prevent various diseases. \n\n 3. Helps the recovery process after physical and mental activity \nSleep also has an important role in helping the recovery process after physical and mental activity. After physical activity, the body needs time to repair damaged muscles and replenish lost energy. Whereas after tiring mental activity, sleep will help restore concentration and focus so that a person can be more productive the next day. \n\n 4. Maintain mental health \nSleep also has an important role in maintaining one's mental health. Lack of sleep can lead to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and mood disorders. During sleep, the brain will process the information it has received during daily activities and cleanse toxins that have formed in the brain. Therefore, adequate sleep can help maintain mental health and prevent various mental health problems. \n\n In conclusion, sleep has a very important role in maintaining one's physical and mental health. Lack of sleep can cause various health problems, so it is very important for everyone to pay attention to their sleep needs and try to get enough sleep every day.
