The reason is that this could be caused by the presence of disease. The earlier you find out, the easier it will be to heal. \n\n \n\n Kidney Disease Types : \n\n Reporting from hellosehat.com, citing the official website of the University of Rochester Medical Center, states that kidney disease is kidney damage that causes dysfunction. This condition can be temporary or even permanent. The most common types of kidney disease are : \n\n 1. Acute Kidney Failure \n\n Acute kidney disease can strike spontaneously or last for a short period of time. Acute kidney disease is also easily returned to normal as usual. However, it should also be watched if it lasts long enough and becomes more serious. \n\n 2. Chronic Kidney Disease \n\n Chronic kidney disease usually progresses slowly over 3 months. Chronic kidney disease has the potential to become permanent kidney failure. So, the symptoms of this disease need to be watched out for. \n\n \n\n Causes of Kidney Disease in Children \n\n Children can develop kidney disease due to several factors. In children aged less than 5 years, it is usually caused by a polycystic kidney disorder and can also occur due to blockage of the urinary tract. \n\n Meanwhile, in children older than 5 years, it is usually caused by kidney absorption problems such as nephrotic syndrome and lupus nephritis due to congenital abnormalities. \n\n According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the causes of kidney disease in children are divided into 3 types, namely pre-renal, renal, and post-renal. \n\n Pre-renal causes are caused by problems outside the kidneys, such as dehydration, bleeding, serious injuries, severe infections, and heart abnormalities. \n\n At the renal stage, caused by problems with the kidneys themselves, such as congenital kidney disorders, glomerulonephritis, blood vessel disorders in the kidneys, kidney damage Whereas in the post-renal stage, it is caused by problems in the kidney tract such as congenital kidney disorders and blockages in the bladder tract. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Kidney Disease in Children \n\n As a parent, you should be more alert if there are symptoms of kidney disease in children, including : \n\n \n Symmetrical swelling (edema) in the left and right legs. \n Hematuria, blood in the urine. \n Leukocyturia is an increase in the number of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the urine. \n Proteinuria is an increase in the excretion of protein in the urine. \n Oliguria, decreased urine production. \n Hypertension. \n Anemia. \n Growth disorders. \n Bone abnormalities. \n It's difficult to breathe. \n Fever repeatedly. \n \n\n If your child shows this condition, it is best to immediately consult a doctor. Especially if the symptoms shown are getting worse over time. \n\n \n\n Prevention of Kidney Disease in Children \n\n Parents play an important role in maintaining the health of their children. The reason is that children under the age of five do not understand how to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid various diseases. So, to prevent kidney disease in children, do the following : \n\n \n Children should drink plenty of fluids and try to eat four healthy, five-star meals per day. \n Do not let the child become dehydrated, especially during diarrhea and vomiting. \n During pregnancy, women should avoid exposure to infection. \n If there is a family history related to kidney disease, it is best to immediately consult a doctor. \n Detection of hypertension and diabetes in children. \n \n\n If your child has been suffering from kidney disease, you should visit the doctor regularly. On the other hand, it is very important to take steps to prevent kidney disease in children. A healthy lifestyle from an early age is also one of the keys to preventing the body from various diseases. \n\n Hermina's friends can consult a child's kidney disease with a pediatrician at the hospital.

Proper Nutrition to Overcome High Blood Pressure<\/a><\/h3>
High blood pressure or hypertension is an increase in blood pressure that affects the function and structure of blood vessels. Hypertension can cause heart failure and coronary heart disease. One of the principles of therapy in hypertension is consuming proper nutrition. The type of diet recommended for hypertension is the dietary approach to stop hypertension or known by the abbreviation DASH. \n\n The DASH diet is recommended by various health professionals, including the American Heart Association (AHA), to lower blood pressure and the incidence of heart disease. On the DASH diet, patients are advised to reduce the consumption of foods high in sodium, while the consumption of food sources of potassium, magnesium and calcium needs to be increased to help lower blood pressure. According to the AHA, the current recommendation for sodium consumption should be less than 2,300 mg or 5 g of table salt per day. For populations that are sensitive to the use of sodium, it is recommended that consumption does not exceed 1500 mg per day. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the population that is said to be sensitive is people with hypertension and the elderly. Reducing sodium intake has been shown to significantly improve health. Several studies have shown that reducing sodium intake is also associated with preventing hypertension, lowering blood pressure, and preventing cardiovascular disease. \n\n In general, in people who will undergo the DASH diet, it is recommended to increase the consumption of vegetables, fruit, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, chicken, fish, and nuts. Conversely, the consumption of foods that contain high fat and sugar, red meat, and soda should be avoided. It is recommended that you consume 4-5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. In addition, consumption of omega 3 essential fatty acids containing EPA and DHA of 1 g/day also has benefits for heart health. To achieve this recommendation, it is recommended to consume fatty fish at least 2 times a week. \n\n In addition to a healthy diet, maintaining an ideal body weight is also recommended to prevent or control blood pressure. Physical activity can help you lose weight, improve blood sugar control, lower cardiovascular risk factors, and improve fitness. Physical activity is any movement that increases energy expenditure. In people over the age of 18, it is recommended to do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week or 75 minutes per week of active aerobic movement or a combination of both. Pause between workouts of no more than 2 consecutive days. \n\n If hermina's friends need the right guide for the DASH Diet, please consult a health specialist at the Hermina Podomoro Hospital Nutrition Specialist. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognizing the Symptoms and Signs of Congenital Heart Disease in Babies<\/a><\/h3>
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a heart disease that has been present since birth due to imperfect heart formation in the early stages of fetal development in the womb. CHD causes disruption of blood flow in the heart chambers so that the blood pumped is excessive or insufficient for the heart and lungs. 50% of CHDs are detected by ultrasound in utero. \n\n Each type of CHD is treated differently depending on the classification (cyanotic or noncyanotic), structural abnormalities, and severity of the heart defect. The impact of disturbing death and morbidity requires further understanding of the signs of this disease, so that early detection of congenital heart disease in children can be carried out. \n\n \n\n Who Needs Child Heart Screening? \n\n If parents suspect there is a congenital heart defect, you should immediately do a child's heart screening. This suspicion can come from symptoms related to congenital heart disease, such as intermittent breastfeeding or tongue, blue lips with or without crying, difficulty gaining weight. \n\n Cardiac screening can also be done at any stage of pregnancy. Obstetricians will generally recommend heart screening before the baby is born if: \n\n \n Parents used to be born with congenital heart disease \n The child previously had congenital heart disease \n Mother uses narcotics, alcohol, or other drugs that can cause heart defects \n Parents have diabetes \n The baby's heartbeat is abnormal when the doctor performs an ultrasound (ultrasound) test. \n \n\n Early heart screening is very important to identify congenital heart disease. Children born with a diagnosis of congenital heart disease during pregnancy are more likely to survive heart surgery than those diagnosed at birth. \n\n \n\n The Importance of Heart Screening in Children \n\n As in other heart diseases, the earlier the child's heart screening, the greater the chance of getting the right treatment and recovering from the disease. Screening for the fetus in the womb usually uses a fetal echocardiogram. This ultrasound tool can produce images of fetal heart development. However, not all heart defects can be found during pregnancy. In utero ultrasound detected 30% of critical CHDs. \n\n That's why it's also necessary to have a heart screening at birth. To detect heart defects in newborns, doctors usually use a pulse oximeter. There are babies who are born looking healthy but turn out to show symptoms of heart disease after returning home. In this case, parents need to be more proactive in requesting a child's heart screening when they see symptoms for the safety of the child. \n\n \n\n Symptoms and signs of congenital heart disease in baby \n\n Usually, doctors will find congenital heart defects during a pregnancy ultrasound. However, in some cases, the symptoms of a congenital heart defect may not appear until the baby is born. 280 infants with critical CHD/year were not diagnosed when they were discharged from the hospital. \n\n The symptoms and characteristics of congenital heart disease in newborns are as follows: \n\n \n Disconnected when drinking breast milk or milk \n Low birth weight \n Delayed growth \n Bluish lips, skin, fingers, and toes with or without crying/straining \n \n\n In other cases, symptoms of a congenital heart defect may not appear until years after birth. Once symptoms develop, symptoms may include: \n\n \n He was easily tired compared to children his age. \n It is easy to limp with light-moderate activity. \n His heart beats louder and faster than children his age. \n Swelling of legs \n \n\n Hermina's friend, If someone you know experiences the symptoms listed above, you should immediately recommend going to a pediatric cardiologist. Consult a doctor for clarity of management and make sure you don't miss any control sessions. Greetings healthy! \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. You can check the schedule on our website or call 0821-3552-2454. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The First Thousand Days Of Life As A Child's 'Golden Age'<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friend, having children is a gift for every parent. Of course as parents we will not miss any developments or activities carried out by children. The golden period of child development turns out to need to be prepared from the womb. Let's look at the preparations of father & mother to optimize this golden period.\nThe first thousand days of life start from gestation (270 days) until the child is 2 years old (730 days). The first years of life play an important role in the growth and development of a child, known as the golden period or the golden period because at this time there is rapid brain development. .\nThe first thing that needs to be done as a prospective father & mother is. Plan healthy meals during pregnancy. To meet the needs of healthy food, there are five food groups that need to be fulfilled in their intake, namely grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, and milk. These food groups play an important role in the process of pregnancy because they are rich in the following nutrients:\nFolic acid\nThese nutrients are very important to consume, especially during pregnancy. Meeting the needs of folic acid is not enough through food alone. Mothers can get folic acid intake through various supplements given by obstetricians.\nIron\nIron is useful for increasing blood volume to deliver oxygen to the fetus. Daily iron needs during pregnancy can be obtained from foods such as red meat, fish, green beans, and spinach.\nOmega 3 & DHA\nThis food source is very important in the development of the fetal brain from in the womb until birth. You can get this food source from eating fish. \n\n Fat and oil\nFat is one of the building blocks of the fetus and placenta and acts as an energy source. You can get sources of fat and oil from foods that contain vegetable protein.\nCalcium and vitamin D\nCalcium and vitamin D are essential for the formation of fetal bones and teeth. Both also function to nourish the skin and eyes. Mothers can get calcium and vitamin D intake from milk and various derivative products.\nThe next thing after the birth of your beloved baby is how to optimize your little one's development\nThe first two years of life have a great influence on brain development and behavior. Giving stimulation or sensory experience will be effective during this sensitive period and play a very important role in the formation of brain nerves. Several factors that play a role are the fulfillment of nutrition, stimulation and proper parenting. In addition to brain development, at this time the acceleration of physical growth such as height is also very rapid. Of course this must be supported by the provision of proper nutrition and according to the needs of children. This is very important to prevent stunting and other developmental disorders.\nRoutine monitoring of children's growth and development is something that plays an important role. Monitoring of growth such as weight, body, height and head circumference as well as growth chart trends in accordance with WHO guidelines and developmental surveillance at each child's visit to health services every month is absolutely necessary at this time to support optimal growth and development.\n\nFriends of Hermina, The First 1000 Days of Life in Children is a golden period for children. During the baby's development period, always keep your health and continue to monitor its growth so that the child grows into a healthy child and does not get sick easily. Greetings healthy \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Knowing Thalassemia can't be cured but can be prevented<\/a><\/h3>
Thalassemia is one of the genetic blood disorders that is suffered by quite a lot of people in the world. Indonesia is one of the countries in the world thalassemia belt, meaning a country with a high thalassemia gene frequency (carrier number). \n\n Currently, there are more than 10,531 thalassemia patients in Indonesia, and it is estimated that 2,500 newborns with thalassemia are born each year in Indonesia. \n\n Hermina's friend, before discussing further about Thalassemia and its symptoms, let's look at the explanation. \n\n Thalassemia is a hereditary disease in which there are abnormalities of red blood cells. Red blood cells in which the or globin chains that make up hemoglobin are partially or completely absent. Thalassemia is divided into 2 types, namely: \n\n A. Alpha thalassemia is a type of thalassemia that has decreased synthesis in the alpha chain. \n\n B. Beta thalassemia is a type of thalassemia that has decreased in the beta chain. Meanwhile, based on the number of genes that are affected, thalassemia is divided into 3: \n\n \n\n Thalassemia Minor is a condition that occurs in someone who is healthy but that person can pass the Thalassemia gene to their children. Thalassemia trait has been present since birth and will remain throughout the patient's life. The patient does not need a blood transfusion in his life. \n\n Thalassemia Intermedia is a condition between Thalassemia major and minor. Patients with this type of thalassemia may require periodic blood transfusions, and people with this type of thalassemia can survive into adulthood. \n\n Thalassemia Major This type of thalassemia is often called Cooley Anemia and occurs when both parents have Thalassemia carrier traits (Carrier). Children with thalassemia major appear normal at birth, but will suffer from anemia at 3-18 months of age. Patients with thalassemia major will require blood transfusions periodically throughout their life. \n\n Signs and symptoms \n\n Some of the symptoms will appear in the following conditions: \n\n \n Face looks pale \n Yellowish skin (jaundice) \n Dark urine \n Anemia occurs \n There is a deformity of the facial bones \n Child's body growth is delayed \n The surface of the abdomen is bulging due to enlargement of the liver and spleen \n \n\n Until now there has not been found a drug that can cure this disease, if it has been diagnosed with thalassemia, then the patient must receive the following therapy management \n\n A. The transfusion is red blood cell transfusion. This therapy is the main therapy for people who suffer from Thalassemia by maintaining Hb levels above 10 g/dl. This blood transfusion is done for life. \n\n \n\n B. Hemoglobin in red blood cells is an iron-rich protein. Regular blood transfusions can lead to a buildup of iron in the blood. This condition can damage the liver, heart, and other organs. To prevent this damage, iron chelation therapy is needed to remove excess iron from the body. \n\n Prevention \n\n It is better to do prevention than cure. This thalassemia disease can be prevented by conducting premarital screening for couples who will marry. After marriage, prenatal diagnosis is needed at 12-17 weeks of gestation, let's prevent thalassemia from occurring. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
