Is Shortness of Breath a Symptom of Pneumonia?<\/a><\/h3>
Pneumonia, also called pneumonia, is an infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs of the lungs (alveoli). Inflammation is caused by a buildup of fluid or pus in the alveoli. This can also make people with pneumonia experience shortness of breath. So that you are more alert, let's find out the symptoms of pneumonia in more detail here. \n\n Be Aware of Pneumonia Symptoms \n\n Symptoms of pneumonia develop suddenly or slowly over a period of 24-48 hours. These include fever, excessive sweating, chills, cough (dry or phlegmy), shortness of breath, chest pain when inhaling or coughing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, body weakness, and a faster heartbeat. In sufferers aged over 65 years, pneumonia appears without symptoms of fever, but the danger is accompanied by decreased consciousness. \n\n This group of symptoms will appear when a germ infection defeats the body's immune system, causing inflammation in the lungs. Infections that often occur are caused by viral and bacterial infections in the air. Meanwhile, other infections can be caused by fungi or mycoplasma. \n\n A person is at high risk of developing pneumonia if they are less than two years old or more than 65 years old, actively smoke, have a weak immune system (for example, people with HIV/AIDS or people undergoing chemotherapy), and suffer from chronic diseases (such as asthma or COPD ). \n\n Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment \n\n Pneumonia is diagnosed through pulse oximetry (measurement of oxygen levels in the blood), chest x-ray, blood tests, urine tests, and examination of phlegm samples. If the sufferer is over 65 years old and has more serious symptoms, the doctor will carry out supporting examinations in the form of a CT scan, pleural fluid culture or bronchoscopy. \n\n People with pneumonia should be hospitalized when they are over 65 years old, they will experience decreased kidney function, low blood pressure, shortness of breath, below normal temperature and abnormal heartbeat. Or in children, it is recommended to be hospitalized if they often sleep, feel weak, short of breath, low oxygen levels and dehydration. The following are treatment options for people with pneumonia: \n\n \n Independent care at home. These include just getting enough rest, drinking lots of fluids and not doing excessive activities. \n Consumption of medication, such as pain relievers, cough medicine and antibiotics. This medicine is given in cases of pneumonia that are relatively mild. \n Hospital treatment. In the form of giving antibiotics by injection, adding oxygen, and pulmonary rehabilitation. In severe cases, the sufferer is placed in an intensive care room and placed on a breathing apparatus or ventilator. \n \n\n The healing process depends on the type of pneumonia, severity, and health condition of the sufferer. The length of treatment time also depends on the symptoms felt. \n\n Young sufferers can usually return to normal activities within one week. Other sufferers may take longer and still feel tired for some time. Meanwhile, if the symptoms of pneumonia are severe, the healing time can take several weeks. \n\n So, if a Hermina friend experiences shortness of breath, you must be alert, including one of the signs of pneumonia, immediately consult a pulmonary doctor at RSU Hermina Medan for early treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Know the health impacts of leaving cavities in your teeth<\/a><\/h3>
Many people still ignore the importance of maintaining dental hygiene and carrying out regular dental health checks. This is prone to causing you to experience cavities. New treatment is carried out if the pain has attacked and interferes with the comfort of activities. Yes, toothache is very unpleasant, especially if it is caused by cavities. \n\n Cavities are prone to occur in children. However, these dental and oral health problems can occur in adults who do not pay more attention to their dental health. Unfortunately, cavities that do not receive immediate treatment or are not treated properly can trigger infections in the body's tissues. Don't ignore cavities, because this is the impact you will get. \n\n \n Unbearable pain \n \n\n The pain you feel depends on how big the hole in the tooth is. It could be that the pain comes and lasts for a few seconds, then disappears. However, this pain will come back and with a higher level of severity than before. It is not impossible, this pain spreads to your head. \n\n \n Dental Abscess \n \n\n Cavities that are not treated can result in infections that spread to the soft tissue of the pulp, jaw, or mouth. Very severe infections can cause abscesses or pus-filled pockets to appear around the teeth and gums. The appearance of this abscess is more due to bacteria accumulating in the mouth. \n\n \n Gum Problems \n \n\n Gingivitis or gum disease appears with symptoms of inflammation of the gums followed by severe pain. In fact, this disease can attack other healthy gums. This makes the gums look swollen and reddish, and can even bleed when you touch or brush them. In cases of severe cavities, you can also experience a condition called periodontitis. \n\n \n Heart Disease and Stroke \n \n\n What is the relationship between cavities and heart problems and even stroke? Wow. It turns out that injured gums trigger the entry of bacteria in the mouth into the bloodstream, which can cause infection in the inner heart muscle. Likewise with the risk of stroke. Both heart problems and strokes can lead to death, so you really shouldn't take them lightly. \n\n \n Influence on jaw structure \n \n\n Cavities that are left untreated and left untreated for a long period of time will cause the infection to spread further. Not only does it attack other healthy teeth, this infection can also attack the gums. Without treatment, the risk of jaw bone damage is very possible. This can happen if there are missing teeth due to decaying cavities that cause other teeth to shift. This shift affects the structure of the teeth and jaw. \n\n Apparently, the impact of cavities that are not treated immediately is very dangerous, right? In fact, it can even be life threatening. This is the reason you have to regularly check your dental health, at least once every 6 months, so that infections can be detected early and treatment can be carried out. RSU Hermina Medan has quite complete general and specialist dentists, with adequate tools, so immediately clean and check the health of your teeth and those of your family at RSU Hermina Medan. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize and Understand Blood Pressure Problems in the Elderly<\/a><\/h3>
Hypertension or what is often called high blood pressure is a health problem that needs to be very careful, including in the elderly. The elderly group sometimes often complains of hypertension because it is a cause that cannot be controlled as they get older. \n\n If left untreated, high blood pressure in the elderly can cause stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize early the causes of hypertension that occurs in the elderly as well as how to prevent it appropriately. \n\n Reported by several health sources, generally the cause of hypertension in the elderly comes from changes in the condition of the blood vessels in old age, including the heart. Arteries become harder and no longer elastic as we age. \n\n This condition can cause the blood vessels to become stiffer so that the heart's performance in pumping blood becomes more difficult. As a result, blood pressure will increase. \n\n Another cause of hypertension in the elderly, especially women, is hormonal changes after menopause. Decreased levels of the hormone estrogen can cause the arteries to become hardened and tense, making blood pressure susceptible to increases that can sometimes become uncontrollable. \n\n There are many other factors that cause hypertension in the elderly besides increasing age, including hereditary factors, kidney disease, sleep apnea, unhealthy eating patterns, foods lacking in fiber, high in fat and salt. \n\n Apart from that, consuming excessive alcohol, smoking, lack of movement and rarely exercising, obesity, lack of sleep and excessive stress. The combination of these factors can potentially greatly increase the chances of elderly people developing hypertension. \n\n Prevent hypertension in the elderly \n\n The age factor can be a cause of hypertension in the elderly, but several preventive measures can be taken. The method can be started from a young age. \n\n Here are several ways to prevent hypertension in the elderly as reported by Johns Hopkins Medicine: \n\n 1. Lose weight if it is still above ideal \n\n 2. If your body weight is ideal but your stomach is bloated, reduce it naturally and with a healthy lifestyle. \n\n 3. Avoid drinking alcohol \n\n 4. Must be active \n\n 5. Regularly exercise at least 30 minutes a week five times \n\n 6. Consume foods high in calcium, magnesium and potassium but minimal in bad fats such as low-fat milk and yogurt, roasted nuts without flavors or added salt. \n\n 7. Avoid fried foods, cheese, butter, fatty meat, various sauces, processed foods, preservatives, instant foods, fast foods because they are high in salt, sodium and bad fats \n\n 8. Stop smoking and avoid exposure to the smoke \n\n 9. Manage stress \n\n 10. Get enough and quality sleep at least six hours every night. \n\n Hypertension does not have specific characteristics and often resembles other diseases so that many people cannot feel the symptoms. How to reduce the risk of hypertension in the elderly by carrying out regular health checks, including measuring blood pressure. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Polio Alert!!! Get to know the symptoms, causes, treatment and prevention<\/a><\/h3>
Polio is a disease caused by a contagious viral infection. Exposure to this virus can trigger nerve injury which has a very high risk of causing paralysis, difficulty breathing, and can even lead to death. \n\n Even though children are very susceptible to this disease, this does not mean that adults are not at risk of being exposed to polio. Taking appropriate precautions can be an effective measure to avoid exposure to the virus that causes polio. \n\n Causes of Polio \n\n This disease is caused by the polio virus. Usually, transmission can occur through direct contact or consuming water and food that has been contaminated with feces containing the polio virus. Even though they have no symptoms, polio sufferers can still transmit the polio virus to other people. \n\n \n\n Polio Risk Factors \n\n People who have a very high risk of developing this disease are: \n\n \n People who live in remote areas have difficulty accessing clean running water, especially for toilets \n HIV Positive Pregnant Women \n Children who are not vaccinated \n \n\n For people who have never been vaccinated, the risk of contracting this disease will be higher if: \n\n \n Travel to an area where there has been a recent polio outbreak \n Living with or caring for someone with polio \n Work with virus specimens \n Have had a tonsillectomy \n \n\n \n\n Polio Symptoms \n\n The symptoms of polio are experienced differently by each sufferer. In fact, 95 to 99 percent of polio sufferers do not experience symptoms. Here are some symptoms of polio to watch out for: \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n Polio Symptoms of Non-Paralytic Type Polio \n\n \n Fever \n Painful Swallowing \n Headache \n Vomit \n Weak \n Meningitis \n \n\n \n\n Polio Symptoms of Paralysis Type Polio \n\n \n Loss of Reflexes \n Feet become droopy \n Paralysis that occurs suddenly can be temporary or permanent \n \n\n \n\n Polio Diagnosis \n\n The diagnosis of polio itself is made based on anamnesis, physical examination, and can be assisted by supporting examinations. In the history, the doctor will look for symptoms that appear, then through a physical examination the doctor will look for signs of disease such as stiff neck and abnormalities in reflexes. \n\n Supporting examinations through throat swabs, stool examination and central nervous system fluid analysis can also be carried out to look for the presence of the polio virus. \n\n \n\n Polio Treatment \n\n See a doctor as soon as possible. Currently there is no medicine that can treat polio. However, this disease can be overcome by carrying out several treatments according to doctor's recommendations, such as \n\n \n Giving medication reduces pain \n Antispamodic medication to relax muscles \n Antibiotics \n Physiotherapy \n \n\n \n\n Polio Prevention \n\n Prevention of polio is by vaccination. Polio vaccination itself has been discovered since 1957 and is one of the most effective prevention efforts. Vaccinations are given 3x and supplemented with 1x booster. Vaccinations need to be given to children at the ages of 2 months, 4 months, 6-18 months and boosters between the ages of 4-6 years. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

HEARING DISORDER DETECTION USING AUDIOMETRY<\/a><\/h3>
Hearing loss can sometimes interfere with daily activities. Hearing loss is a condition where hearing loss is divided into mild, moderate, moderate, severe and very severe. Can this hearing loss be detected earlier to avoid unwanted things and cause even worse effects? Let's look at the following article \n\n In Adults: \n\n Hearing loss has an impact on communication, emotional and social relationships.

This examination is also performed on patients who are doing the initial examination (screening). \n\n Some conditions that require audiometric examination include: \n\n \n There is a decrease in the quality of hearing. \n Often ask others to repeat words \n Difficulty understanding the speech or words of the interlocutor \n The ear is blocked or feels full. \n Ringing in the ears. \n Discharge from the ear. \n Trauma to the ear \n Have balance problems. \n \n\n What Are The Preparations For An Audiometric Examination? \n\n This examination does not require any special preparation beforehand and does not pose any risks. During the examination, you only need to follow the instructions of the audiologist. \n\n How Is The Audiometric Examination? \n\n Audiometric examination is carried out in a special room or a quiet and soundproof room. The examiner or audiologist will explain the examination procedures and what you need to do in the room. Earphones will be put on the ears and the patient will be asked to sit quietly and not speak. The earphones connected to the machine will emit sounds and tones with different volumes, frequencies and intervals that enter one ear, such as sound and speech. This aims to determine the range of hearing ability of each ear. \n\n The audiologist will ask the patient to raise their hand, press a button or make another sign when sound can be heard. The audiologist will record your test results. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

9 Tips for Overcoming Back Pain at Home<\/a><\/h3>
Back pain is characterized by the appearance of pain in the lower back or sides. This condition can be triggered by many factors, ranging from increasing age, sitting too long, pregnancy, being overweight, rarely exercising or lifting heavy weights. \n\n In addition, back pain can also occur due to certain health conditions or diseases. Examples include spinal stenosis, pinched nerves, scoliosis, arthritis, dysmenorrhea, spinal cord injury, and kidney or urinary tract infections. \n\n Symptoms of low back pain are also generally accompanied by other complaints, ranging from a stiff waist that is even difficult to move. In mild cases, back pain can be treated at home in a simple way. \n\n \n\n How to Overcome Back Pain at Home Effectively \n\n There are several simple ways to do this so that the back pain does not persist and worsen until it interferes with activities. Here are some of them : \n\n 1. Use cold or warm water to compress. \n\n Compressing the sore back area with cold water can help reduce inflammation or mild injury. The method itself is quite simple. You can wrap the ice in plastic. Then, you can stick it on the sore waist for about 20 minutes. Do this every 2-3 days. \n\n If the pain persists for more than 3 days, you can replace the compress with warm water to relieve tense muscles and increase blood flow. In addition, it is also recommended to take a bath with warm water to provide a relaxing effect. \n\n 2. Exercising Regularly \n\n The next way to deal with back pain is to exercise regularly. Physical activity can strengthen muscles and increase flexibility in the waist area. Later, the symptoms of back pain will subside and prevent it from coming back. \n\n If your back pain doesn't feel too heavy anymore, you can try other light exercises such as swimming, yoga, or a leisurely walk. This type of exercise is good and safe to do when experiencing back pain because it does not burden the joints too much. \n\n 3. Paying attention to the sleeping position \n\n When dealing with back pain, you should also adjust your sleeping position. Try to sleep on your back and put a pillow under your knees. In addition, sleeping on your side can also relieve tense muscles and back pain. Also, put a pillow or bolster on the back of your body. \n\n 4. Maintaining Good Posture \n\n One of the common causes of back pain is the habit of sitting hunched over when working at the computer. It's a good idea to maintain good posture by sitting up straight and making sure you stay relaxed. Try to put a pillow behind the body as a support for the waist. \n\n Sitting on a mat that has a concave back can also relieve pain in the waist area. Avoid sitting for too long because it can make the pain worse. If the job requires a static position for a long time, it's better to do some stretching for a certain time. \n\n 5. Taking Painkillers \n\n To relieve back pain, you can also take pain relievers that are generally sold in pharmacies. Examples of drugs are Paracetamol or Ibuprofen. You should read the instructions for use before you take the medicine. \n\n 6. Exercise the Core of the Body \n\n If the position of the body is too tense, it can cause back pain. Try to increase flexibility because this can relieve tension in the waist and back. You can train flexibility by doing stretching movements. \n\n 7. Quit smoking \n\n Apparently, smoking can not only interfere with lung function but also put pressure on the back. Research conducted and published in the American Journal of Medicine found that smokers and ex-smokers are more likely to experience back pain than non-smokers. \n\n Nicotine will make small blood vessels constrict and reduce blood distribution to soft tissues. This is what, over time, can trigger back pain. \n\n 8. It Stimulates Endorphin Hormones \n\n Another way to deal with back pain is to increase endorphins. This is a hormone that will help block pain signals going to the brain. Ways to stimulate an increase in endorphins can be massage, meditation, exercise, or sex. Besides being able to reduce back pain, this hormone can also reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. \n\n 9. Using Koyo \n\n If you experience back pain on the left or right, you can relieve it by applying a patch. Of course, you are already familiar with this and may be bad at sticking a patch when you have a headache or a toothache. If you experience back pain, try to also apply it to the area that feels the pain. \n\n How to relieve back pain that has been described can be done at home. It is hoped that later, the pain will subside and you will be able to carry out daily activities as usual. \n\n Hermina's friends can consult about back pain with a neurologist at the hospital. The closest Hermina, or Hermina's friends, can also consult online with a specialist hospital. Hermina with the application "Hello Hermina." \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

For Kids With Kidney Disease, What's causing chronic kidney disease in children?<\/a><\/h3>
When it comes to children's health, many of us, parents, nutritionists, pediatricians, have a predisposition towards obesity and heart-related diseases. Kidney function is also important for maintaining a healthy body and it is important for parents to monitor their children's kidney function. Thus, it is important to raise awareness towards kidney disease that children are prone to suffer from, which can affect millions of people around the world, including young children, who may be at risk for kidney disorders/diseases at an early age. \n\n When parents know that their child are at risk of having kidney disease, they may wonder what they can do to prevent it. However, in most cases, it is not yet known if child will develop kidney disease and usually nothing can be done to stop it. Focusing on what can be done now, such as getting the right treatment, following the doctor's advice, working with the child's health team and learning about the disease, are the best ways to help your child once the diagnosis is made. \n\n The kidneys are made up of millions of tiny filtering units called nephrons and are located just below the ribs on either side of the spine. Kidneys clean the blood, maintain a balance of salt and water, and help to regulate blood pressure and red blood cells. The extra fluid and waste that the kidneys remove from the blood are passed to the bladder and then out of the body as urine. \n\n There are many types of kidney disease that affect children. Some are temporary and treatable. Other forms of kidney disease are long-term and can affect a child's growth, development, and psychosocial/educational achievement. \n\n Various kidney diseases include: \n\n 1. Congenital abnormalities or birth defects, such as having a kidney that is not properly formed, one kidney, a kidney with reduced function, or a kidney that doesn't drain properly into the bladder \n\n 2. Polycystic kidney disease and Alport's syndrome, examples of hereditary kidney disease, which means it runs in the family such as Lupus, vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels), uncontrolled hypertension, and diabetes, which are considered as systemic kidney disease \n\n 3. Kidney filtering disorders and nephrotic syndrome, conditions that cause protein to leak into the urine \n\n Acute kidney disease can be caused by: \n\n \n Lack of blood flow to the kidneys for a period of time, such as due to blood loss, surgery, or shock \n Blockage in the urinary tract \n Taking drugs that can cause kidney problems (nephrotoxic drug) \n Any condition that can slow or block oxygen and blood to the kidneys, such as cardiac arrest \n Hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is usually caused by an E.coli infection. Kidney failure develops because of the blockage at tiny structures and blood vessels in the kidneys. \n Glomerulonephritis. This is a type of kidney disease that occurs in the part of the kidney called the glomeruli. Glomeruli become inflamed and impair kidneys function of filtrating. \n \n\n If your child has mild symptoms of kidney disease, consult to your doctor immediately to get relevant advice regarding the possibility of early preventive treatment. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/span>");
