Remember, Mothers, Don't Miss Complete Vaccinations for Your Beloved Babies<\/a><\/h3>
Newborn babies are very susceptible to infection with various diseases because the baby's immune system is not yet fully formed, so fulfilling basic vaccinations for babies is a priority that we should not miss. The Indonesian Ministry of Health and the Indonesian Pediatrician Association have issued several complete lists of vaccinations that are recommended to be given to babies during their growth period. \n\n \n\n Vaccination itself is the process of giving vaccines to babies by injection or diabetes into the mouth which aims to stimulate the formation of antibodies in children which can be a barrier to children being infected from certain diseases. However, it is not only beneficial for our babies, by providing complete vaccines it will protect the entire community because vaccination can help minimize the spread of disease. \n\n \n\n Benefits of Vaccination: \n\n \n Vaccination in babies can save lives in the future \n Prevent babies and children from infectious diseases that can be life threatening \n Protecting people from the spread of disease \n Helps children's growth become more optimal \n Makes the child's immune system well formed \n Protecting health and providing a sense of security to the community \n \n\n \n\n In mid-2023, the Indonesian Pediatrician Association issued a recommendation for the 2023 IDAI Immunization Schedule which can be a reference for parents to provide complete vaccinations. By creating the IDAI immunization schedule for 2023, the aim is to make it easier for health workers to carry out vaccinations and especially for parents so that they don't miss the immunization schedule for their beloved babies. \n\n \n\n Usually babies who have just been given the vaccine will show several reactions in the body, such as fever or other symptoms that can occur after vaccination. Parents need to know that this condition is normal because the body will continue to work to produce antibodies for the child's body. Vaccination itself can be done at the nearest health facility and can also be done at the children's polyclinic at Hermina Hospital Manado. \n\n \n\n The following are the causes of fever that occurs after vaccination: \n\n \n Immune reaction, because the vaccine given will stimulate the body's immunity in the baby or child so that immunity is formed which can provide immunity to several diseases \n The body's response, because when a vaccine is given, the child's body will respond, especially to some of the ingredients in it, such as proteins or adjuvants which can trigger a response that results in an increase in body temperature. \n \n\n \n\n Reference to IDAI recommended child immunization schedule for 2023 \n\n Photo Source: https://www.idai.or.id/artikel/klinik/imunisasi/jadwal-imunisasi-anak-idai \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>

Children with flu, how is it treated?<\/a><\/h3>
The immune system in toddlers that is still less than optimal can make toddlers susceptible to various diseases including the flu. Some of the clinical symptoms that appear are fever, body aches, cough, runny nose, and several other accompanying symptoms. Generally, children or toddlers who catch the flu can recover in less than a week, but in some children, the flu can progress to a more serious infection and requires hospital treatment. \n\n Flu in children can be treated by providing enough fluids and rest and it is best to consult a doctor if the child seems uncomfortable to be given medication that can reduce flu symptoms. \n\n Here are some tips that can be done to relieve flu symptoms in toddlers: \n\n \n Make sure that the child always feels comfortable by adjusting the room temperature so that it is not too cold or stuffy to make breathing easier. \n Make sure the child can get enough fluids and is well hydrated. If he is under 6 months of age, give him regular breast milk, if he is over 6 months old, he can give drinking water or home made natural fruit juice. \n Allow the child to rest more. \n Lay the child on their stomach and gently pat their back. Of course this can be done under the full supervision of parents. Make sure his head can stand up and support his own neck. This can relieve nasal congestion and provide comfort to the child. \n Elevate the child's head position. In children aged 1 year and over, raising their head while sleeping or resting on the bed can help them breathe more comfortably. \n Bathing children in warm water so they can sleep better and help mucus come out more easily. \n \n\n Even though the flu is one of the common illnesses that children experience, there are several conditions that need to be watched out for and immediately consulted with a pediatrician, namely: \n\n \n Colds accompanied by cough, fever exceeding 39 degrees Celsius in children under 3 months of age, and fever exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in children over 3 months. \n Fever that can last for more than 2 days. \n The cough gets worse or is accompanied by rapid breathing, making wheezing sounds when the baby breathes. \n Significant changes in eating patterns, sleep patterns and frequent drowsiness accompanied by fussiness. \n Babies cry when feeding while rubbing or pulling their ears, and cry when placed in bed. \n A cold doesn't get better after 7-10 days. \n \n\n Apart from the things that have been mentioned, to avoid being infected by flu, we can optimize our efforts by getting vaccinated. Influenza vaccine can be given early to children, starting from 6 months of age. The first dose is given 2 times with an interval of 1 month. After that, vaccination is continued once a year, because the influenza virus itself has the potential to mutate. So, a specific vaccine is needed according to the circumstances regarding the mutation in order to achieve effectiveness. The hope is that the body can produce antibodies to fight the Influenza virus in the future. The Influenza Vaccine is available at RSU Hermina Medan, so let's do the influenza vaccine for children so that their immune system increases and becomes stronger. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

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. Early treatment needs to be done immediately to prevent more serious conditions. \n\n If you have ever been sentenced to have congenital heart disease, take control periodically to the doctor to monitor the progress of the disease. \n\n The risk of a baby suffering from congenital heart disease will be higher in pregnant women who suffer from diabetes or have a family history of genetic diseases. If you are or have suffered from this condition, consult your doctor regarding the possibility of passing on congenital heart disease to your baby. \n\n Immediately go to the nearest hospital emergency room if you or your child has difficulty breathing, your skin and lips appear blue, or you experience swelling in your legs or other body parts. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Don't Miss Child Immunizations<\/a><\/h3>
Basic immunization is very important for children, because the child's immune system is not yet fully developed. The Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recommends several complete vaccinations for children over a certain age. The timing and methods of vaccination also vary, some are started at birth or after the child is several months old. So that Hermina's Friends don't have the wrong schedule in giving basic immunizations to their children, we see in full below!\n\nWhat is basic immunization?\nA healthy family is every family's dream, especially the health of the baby. Vaccination is a proven way to prevent deadly infectious diseases. By vaccinating children, we can protect our children because babies and young children are very susceptible to several diseases.\nA vaccine is a type of bacteria or virus that has been weakened or killed to stimulate the immune system by making antibodies in the body. These antibodies protect the body in the future. The body is immune to disease without having to catch it first. Unlike medication, vaccination is a way to prevent it.\nIn Indonesia, the concept of complete routine immunization is known, divided into basic immunization and advanced immunization. The implementation of this vaccination is carried out depending on the age of the child. Primary immunization in children is the most important preventive and follow-up vaccination to maintain the body's immunity so that it remains optimal in old age. \n\n vaccination purposes\nThe purpose of vaccination is to obtain immunity or immunity of a child and eradicate disease in the population of a region or country. At least 70% of the population of the region or country must be vaccinated. Equally important is the post-immunization (booster vaccine), which must be carried out at certain times to increase the population's immunity.\nBy vaccinating children, the body is better able to resist and overcome infectious diseases. And when several people in a group are immune to a disease, it becomes more difficult for it to spread and spread to unvaccinated people. This is called herd immunity or herd immunity. Types and benefits of vaccination\nTo better understand the importance of adhering to the basic childhood immunization schedule, here are the benefits of each recommended childhood vaccine:\n• Hepatitis B vaccination to prevent liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus, which can cause mild illness lasting a few weeks or serious illness lasting a lifetime.\n• Polio vaccination to prevent polio in children. Most people infected with polio have mild or no symptoms. However, some infections can be very serious and cause paralysis or immobility of some part of the body, such as the arms, legs or respiratory muscles. There is no cure for polio infection. • BCG vaccine to prevent tuberculosis or tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.\n• The DPT vaccine is a combination vaccine that prevents three diseases, namely diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus.\n• PCV vaccination to prevent diseases such as pneumonia (pneumonia), inflammation of the lining of the brain (meningitis) and blood infections (bacteremia).\n• Rotavirus vaccine to protect children from gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines), which is associated with symptoms such as acute diarrhea, vomiting, fever, difficulty eating and drinking, and abdominal pain.\n• Flu vaccine to prevent flu that attacks the respiratory tract.\n• MR/MMR vaccination to prevent measles, rubella and mumps. • Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination to prevent encephalitis.\n• Vaccination against varicella or varicella.\n• Hepatitis A vaccine to prevent inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus.\n• Typhoid polysaccharide vaccine to prevent typhus.\n• HPV vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus, which causes skin infections including genital warts. What happens if you don't get vaccinated?\nChildren who are not vaccinated are at greater risk of complications that can cause disability or even death. This is because the body does not have a special defense system that can protect the body against some dangerous diseases, namely bacteria \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Early Detection of Child Development<\/a><\/h3>
Friends of Hermina, in general, as parents, of course, we want our children to grow and develop optimally according to their potential. Before discussing it further, we must first know what growth and development is in children. \n\n \n\n \n Growth is an increase in the size or body part in children which includes weight, height, head circumference, arm circumference. Meanwhile, development is an increase in proficiency in various skills (ability) such as keeping the head straight, speaking, learning, expressing feelings and relating to others. \n\n \n\n The following are factors that affect the growth and development of children, namely genetic/hereditary factors that can affect a child's height, the acceleration of growth in girls is also faster at puberty. In addition, environmental factors also affect the growth and development of children, such as nutrition, infections that enter the body, social factors, factors that affect emotions, and cultural factors. \n\n \n\n In monitoring growth and development in children, there is a role for nutrition in early life (First 1000 Days of Life). In the short term, nutrients that can affect brain development so that it also affects the growth and composition of body muscle mass for regulating metabolism, glucose, fat, protein and hormones in children. Meanwhile, in the long term, cognitive and learning abilities are influenced by the immune system, thereby preventing non-communicable diseases (DM, obesity, high blood pressure, cancer, stroke, and aging). \n\n \n\n Why is nutrition in the First 1000 Days of Life important? because the impact of malnutrition (poor nutrition) in this period is permanent and long-term. Stunting can even occur. Stunting is a growth disorder caused by suboptimal nutrition. Stunting will have an impact on children's intelligence and the risk of degenerative diseases (obesity, DM, coronary heart disease, etc.) in the future. \n\n \n\n \n Thus for an explanation of the importance of early detection of child development. It should be noted that stunting can be prevented by paying attention to the quantity and quality of protein consumed by toddlers. Then if the mother wants to consult your child's health problems or for other complaints such as experiencing physical, mental and social problems, as well as the Growth and Development Clinic, immediately visit a Pediatrician, or Medical Rehabilitation (Physiotherapist, Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist), Expert nutrition at RSU Hermina Solo. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Frequently Asked Questions About Cold Coughs In Children<\/a><\/h3>
Frequently Asked Questions About Cold Coughs in Children \n\n \n\n Hermina's friend, In this transitional season, many children are coughing colds, Mother. So when should you be taken to the hospital? and how exactly to solve it? Let's see the following questions and answers about cough and cold in children with dr. Eka Sari Astuti, Sp.A! \n\n 1. What to do if your child has a cold? The answer: If the symptoms are mild, you should not give too much medicine. Get enough rest, eat and drink nutritious food, set a comfortable room temperature, not too hot and not too cold, elevation of the head during sleep to reduce symptoms of nasal congestion, etc. \n\n \n\n If the symptoms bother you, symptomatic drugs can be given to reduce symptoms, such as paracetamol to reduce fever or headache, saline drops or decongestants to reduce nasal mucus and reduce symptoms of nasal congestion, mucus thinners (mucolytics) and so on. \n\n \n\n Children need to be taken to the doctor if there are 'Alarm' symptoms, including: High fever for more than 2 days, or the fever has gone down a few days later, the fever returns, the symptoms do not improve or even get worse, wheezing or wheezing sounds like an asthma attack, shortness of breath fast, decreased appetite, less active, the child looks weak, does not want to breastfeed the baby or ear pain. \n\n \n\n 2. How long does it usually take to cough up a cold in children (still within normal limits)? The answer: The incidence of mild cough and cold in children under five is usually around 5-7 episodes per year with a duration of illness of about 7-10 days. We need to be vigilant if a cold cough lasts longer and does not go away. Especially if the cough is accompanied by the alarm sign mentioned above. (Cough and cold is called chronic when the duration exceeds 14 days). \n\n \n\n 3. Does a child who is coughing up phlegm need to be swabbed or steamed? The answers: Nebu or Nebulizer is one technique of inhalation therapy or inhalation into the respiratory tract. The nebulizer will convert liquid medicine into aerosols or small particles that enter the target organs of the respiratory tract, both the upper and lower respiratory tract. \n\n \n\n Purpose of the nebulizer: 1). Widen the airways or reduce shortness of breath due to narrowing of the airways, for example in asthma. The type of drug used is a bronchodilator that works to widen the airways and reduce shortness of breath. 2). Reduces inflammatory reactions (inflammatory) in the airways. Types of drugs used include steroids. 3). Dilute mucus in the respiratory tract. The type of drug used is a hypertonic saline solution. \n\n \n\n So here the main key is the indication of therapy and the selection of the type of drug. This usually depends on the patient's complaints and physical examination. Usually the doctor will help prescribe and choose a nebulizer drug that will be used at home. \n\n \n\n 4. Can a baby who has a cold cough be given nebu with dose of medicine without a prescription? The answer: Nebulizer therapy has several purposes/benefits as mentioned above. Selection of the type of drug and also the frequency of administration of nebulizer drugs should be adjusted to the purpose of therapy. Usually the doctor will help prescribe the most suitable type of nebulizer for the child's condition. \n\n \n\n Depending on the type of device, the nebulizer requires a minimal volume for the drug in liquid form to be converted into aerosols or small particles that are inhaled into the respiratory tract and reach the target person. Usually the nebulizer requires a minimum volume of 4 ml. Insufficient drug volume will affect aerosol delivery in the respiratory tract. \n\n \n\n 5. Does a child with asthma need a nebulizer at home? The answer: The use of a nebulizer in asthma is very effective in reducing respiratory symptoms during an asthma attack and can minimize the risk of drug side effects. \n\n \n\n 6. Can children with frequent colds wash their noses using NaCl to get better quickly? The answer: With the right technique, nasal washing or nasal irrigation (Nasal Saline Irrigation / NSI) is safe for children and is useful for thinning nasal mucus and reducing symptoms of nasal congestion. The mechanism of action of NSI is to remove mediators that cause inflammatory reactions, reduce mucus production and improve nasal humidity. What needs to be considered is the cleanliness of the fluids and tools used to prevent contamination with germs. \n\n \n\n 7. Should a 1-month-old baby who has a cold cough be taken immediately to the doctor? The answer: Babies are a special group because they have a higher risk due to an immature immune system. In addition, infants and children have different airway anatomy than adults. The diameter of the airways in children is smaller than adults (about 1:5) so it is easier for shortness of breath to occur which can be fatal. Considering these conditions, a very small baby if it shows symptoms of a cold cough should be taken to the doctor. \n\n \n\n 8. What is the difference between cough and cold with other severe respiratory diseases? The answer: Bapil (cough and cold) or other terms common cold is a collection of symptoms consisting of nasal congestion, sneezing, mucus production in the nose, sore throat and coughing. Usually the symptoms are mild, acute (lasts about 7-10 days), caused by a virus and can recover spontaneously if the immune system is good. However, if the immune system is not good, the common cold may cause complications such as ear infections (otitis media), asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia (pneumonia). The common cold is an upper tract infection. Usually potentially serious is a respiratory infection involving the lower respiratory tract (laryngeal infection in the area of the vocal cords down to the lung tissue). The number is about 5% of all respiratory tract infections in children. Symptoms will be more severe, including rapid breathing, chest indrawing which indicates shortness of breath. \n\n \n\n 9. The child has a cold or cough for a day or two, can he buy medicine directly at the pharmacy? The answer: Cough and cold medicines that fall into the category of over-the-counter drugs (which can be purchased without a doctor's prescription) or other terms OTD (Over The Counter), are usually symptom-relieving drugs such as fever reducers, decongestants, mucus thinners, drugs that reduce cough reflexes, etc. These drugs may be purchased directly by yourself by taking into account the safety aspects, including the selection of the right drug, the recommended dosage range and minimal side effects. When drugs are purchased at pharmacies, pharmacists can help provide information and counseling so that drugs are used safely, appropriately and rationally. \n\n \n\n 10. If the child is often exposed to colds is a sign that the child has sinusitis? The answer: A runny nose (which is characterized by nasal congestion and production of nasal mucus) is one of the symptoms of sinusitis. But not only colds, sinusitis usually shows other symptoms such as pain in the face, thick mucus, post nasal drip (build up of thick mucus in the nose or throat which in children shows symptoms of frequent coughing), anosmia / hyposmia (lack of smell) etc. Investigations that help establish the diagnosis of sinusitis are X-rays, CT scans and microbiological examination of nasal mucus specimens. \n\n \n\n 11. The child often coughs and colds, has just recovered and has recurred, what is the cause? The answer: Frequent coughs and colds in children can be caused by several factors, including: 1) exposure to viruses, 2) poor immune factors, 3) allergy factors, 4) environmental factors (exposure to cigarette smoke, dust, pets, circulation). poor air/sun exposure, poor sanitation), 5) disease risk factors (tonsillitis/tonsillitis, asthma). Things that can be done to prevent recurring colds and coughs are to provide balanced nutritious food, improve an unfavorable environment, clean and healthy lifestyles such as diligently washing hands, getting enough rest, giving vitamin supplements and additional vaccines. \n\n \n\n 12. If the child's cough has recovered and then after 1 week of coughing again accompanied by fever, is it necessary to take antibiotics again? The answer: The majority of coughs and colds in children are caused by viruses. Antibiotics are considered for several conditions, including: the occurrence of secondary bacterial infections such as ear infections, sinusitis and pneumonia (pneumonia) or a period of illness that has lasted more than 10 days without improvement. Symptoms of cough and fever that reappear after the previous cold cough can be a new episode of illness or still in one episode with the previous cold cough. Examination by a doctor will help as a basis for appropriate drug administration. \n\n \n\n 13. What is the right sleeping position when a child has a cough with phlegm? The answer: When a cold cough, a higher head elevation position will help the child breathe easier during sleep, reduce coughing and reduce symptoms of nasal congestion. Adjust the sleeping position with a higher pillow or by adding one pillow. \n\n \n\n 14. If the baby is pregnant but it's time for the vaccine, should the vaccine be postponed or what? The answer: Children who are mildly ill are still allowed to receive immunizations because minor illnesses experienced by children will not affect the body's response to immunization. Unless the baby is very fussy, immunization can be delayed 1-2 weeks later. \n\n \n\n 15. When can PCR be done when the child is pregnant? The answer: By shortening the incubation period of the new variant of the Covid virus, the PCR test can be carried out as soon as symptoms appear. \n\n \n\n 16. Babies with birth history of respiratory failure due to pneumonia, then contracted bapil, is it dangerous? The answer: Danger signs that need to be considered in infants/children with a cold cough include signs of rapid breathing, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, the child looks pale and weak or does not want to breastfeed the baby. \n\n \n\n 17. Why do children with congenital heart disease such as ASD 2, pulmonary stenosis have more frequent births? The answer: The heart and lungs are two interrelated organs. The heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation, then the blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. If the ability of the heart is disturbed, it will cause congestion or dam in the lungs so that the lungs will become more vulnerable and it is easier for coughing and colds to occur. \n\n \n\n 18. When a child coughs up phlegm but cannot expel mucus, where does the phlegm come out? The answer: The mechanism of removing mucus (mucus) in the respiratory tract in children through swallowing or vomiting in small infants. \n\n \n\n This is an explanation that can be conveyed regarding conditions such as those that have been mentioned regarding the Q&A of cough and cold in children. If you have complaints, it's best if your little one immediately goes to the Pediatrician at RSU Hermina Solo, right.
