Be alert and recognize polio! and the Importance of Immunization for Children's Health<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n Hermina's Friends: As we all know, Indonesia was shocked some time ago by an incident of polio in a district in Aceh in early November 2022. even though Indonesia has been free of polio for a long time. Why is this happening? \n\n \n\n Previously, we needed to understand first: what is polio? \n\n Polio is a disease caused by a virus. It is very dangerous because it can cause sudden paralysis that cannot be cured. The sufferer will experience permanent paralysis, with the main symptom being withered paralysis. \n\n \n\n Polio Transmission \n\n Polio transmission is fecal-oral, so polio patients' feces contaminate food, which is then consumed by others. As a result, polio transmission is also linked to healthy living habits. \n\n \n\n Symptoms to watch out for \n\n If a child is infected with polio, there will be an incubation period of around 3–6 days, and symptoms that appear include: fever, vomiting, headache, or stiffness in the neck. After the incubation period, the child will suddenly experience paralysis that cannot be cured. In other words, the child will be disabled for the rest of his life. \n\n What should parents do to protect their children from this dangerous polio disease? \n\n Adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle, such as washing your hands thoroughly with soap and keeping your body and the environment clean. In addition, use clean latrines and do not defecate in random places. Immunization against polio is also critical. \n\n \n\n Polio immunization has been shown to be effective in preventing polio. Polio immunization aims to trigger the body's immunity so that the body can be protected from polio infection. The government has also established polio immunization as a mandatory immunization. \n\n When is the polio vaccination schedule? \n\n According to the Ministry of Health, the polio immunization schedule is given four times for children under 1 year old. starting at the age of 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 4 months. And the administration says polio drops as much as two times at the ages of 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 4 months. But at the age of 4 months, it will be accompanied by an injection of polio. \n\n \n\n What if polio immunization is missed? Can it still be chased? \n\n Not a few parents missed their children's immunization schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, parents need to know that immunization is very important for children's health. so that children can avoid dangerous diseases that can be prevented by administering vaccines or immunizations, including polio. \n\n \n\n The term "catch-up immunization" refers to efforts to catch up on delays in giving immunizations to children. Polio immunization, for example, can be caught up on once missed.So, there is no more reason not to immunize children. \n\n \n\n Polio transmission is heavily influenced by a clean and healthy lifestyle, as well as immunization, according to Hermina's friends.Immediately see your favorite pediatrician to catch up on immunizations, including polio. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Polio Disease Causes and Symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n \n\n Polio is a type of disease that needs to be watched out for. Apart from being fatal, it can also spread quickly and attack all ages, but transmission is most rapid in children under 5 years of age. Patients can experience neurological, respiratory, and permanent paralysis due to the disease caused by this viral infection. \n\n Preventive measures are urgently needed considering that the virus that causes this disease is very easy to spread. Polio is a disease that must be avoided because the consequences for sufferers are extremely dangerous. \n\n \n\n Reason \n\n Until now, preventive measures such as raising public awareness about this one disease have been implemented. The virus that causes polio spreads easily through the mouth and inhalation, then spreads throughout the body via the bloodstream. \n\n Children who play with sufferers are very easily infected. Direct contact with patients, sharing cutlery, or splashes of saliva can act as intermediaries for the spread of the virus. The following groups are very susceptible to contracting and suffering from polio : \n\n \n \n People who live in areas that are unhygienic or have poor sanitation \n \n \n Pregnant mother \n \n \n Health workers \n \n \n Families where one of their members is infected \n \n \n Travel to infected areas \n \n \n\n \n\n Symptom \n\n Patients are frequently unaware of the diseases caused by this virus. At the beginning of the infection and the development of the virus in the body, no signs appeared. The fact that it is frequently too late makes handling difficult. Patients are only aware that they have contracted the disease after an infection occurs, which can have negative consequences and worsen their health. \n\n Meanwhile, from the time of entry to the time of infection, the patient is very likely to transmit it to others. People around them were unable to predict because the patient displayed no symptoms. Based on the symptoms, there are two types of polio : \n\n a. Non-paralysis \n\n This first type is considered less dangerous because it can heal itself after the patient has been sick for 1–10 days. In addition, non-paralysis also does not cause paralysis. Symptoms of the disease take a long time to appear from the first day the virus enters the body, which is around 6–20 days. Patients usually experience: \n\n \n \n Fever \n \n \n Sore throat \n \n \n Headache \n \n \n Numbness in an arm or leg \n \n \n Vomiting \n \n \n Weak muscles \n \n \n Stiffness in the neck and part of the back \n \n \n\n \n\n b. Paralysis \n\n This second type needs to be watched out for because it can be fatal. Patients can experience permanent paralysis of the nerves, brain, and spine. In contrast to the non-paralysis type, the second one is detected quite quickly because symptoms have appeared in just one week. Signs of the attack of the disease are : \n\n \n \n Legs and arms feel weak. \n \n \n Reflexes on any part of the body are lost. \n \n \n Tense and sore muscles \n \n \n\n Patients who seek medical attention immediately are more likely to survive paralysis. During the examination, the doctor not only examines the physical but also takes several samples, such as sputum, feces, and fluid in the brain. \n\n Until now, polio was a type of disease to be wary of because there was no effective medicine to cure it. As an initial treatment, the doctor will advise the patient to drink more and will administer various medications. The drug is not intended to cure, but rather to alleviate symptoms. \n\n The type given can be in the form of antibiotics, pain relievers, and antispasmodics, which function as muscle relaxants. To treat patients who have respiratory problems, the action taken is to install a breathing apparatus. \n\n \n\n How Can Polio Be Prevented ? \n\n The impact that can be suffered by polio patients is very fatal. Therefore, taking actions to avoid and prevent the spread of the virus is very important. The problem of polio is still an issue that attracts the attention of many parties. In addition to health campaigns through the National Immunization Week (PIN), preventive measures are often carried out, namely by administering vaccines. The aim of giving the vaccine is to increase the body's immunity so that the polio virus does not attack easily. \n\n Friends of Hermina can speak with a pediatrician at the hospital about polio prevention. Hermina's closest friend or Hermina's best friend can also consult online with a hospital specialist. Hermina with the Hello Hermina app \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it possible to cure high blood pressure?<\/a><\/h3>
Hypertension is often considered trivial. In fact, this health problem can cause severe complications such as stroke, so routine treatment is important. Hypertension can also cause other chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney failure. Most patients are not aware of it. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a disease known as the "silent killer." This disease can come on without symptoms, then silently damage blood vessels and cause serious health problems. \n\n A person is said to have high blood pressure if the results of blood pressure checks three times in a row are above the normal threshold within three months. \n\n Hypertension cannot be cured but can be controlled. People with hypertension can control it by living a healthy life and not stopping their medication. Therefore, if people who have been diagnosed with hypertension get treatment, their blood pressure will drop. But this does not mean the patient will recover. As many as 85 to 90 percent of cases of hypertension occur without a definite cause. This is then called "essential hypertension" or "primary hypertension." Generally, this type of hypertension occurs due to genetic factors, age, being overweight or obese, or adopting an unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking, consuming excessive alcohol, being lazy to move, or consuming foods that cause hypertension. \n\n As for the rest, namely as many as 10–15 percent of hypertension sufferers, the cause can be identified, which generally occurs due to other medical conditions. This type of hypertension is called secondary hypertension. \n\n Some of the causes of secondary hypertension are: kidney disease, tumors or other disorders of the adrenal glands, thyroid disease, use of certain drugs, such as birth control pills, and use of illegal drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamine. \n\n By controlling high blood pressure, a person can reduce their risk of having a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and other diseases. Apart from taking medication for high blood pressure, significant lifestyle changes can reduce blood pressure levels to normal, although management of this disease must be continued. \n\n Some lifestyle changes that can help lower high blood pressure include: \n\n -limiting consumption of bad fats found in fried foods, organ meats, red meat, processed foods, and so on. \n\n -Be active and exercise regularly. Do light exercise for at least 30 minutes per day, and try to get up from your seat or lie down every 30 minutes except during night breaks. \n\n -lowering salt, sodium, and potassium intakeAlso, limit your salt intake from preservative foods, snacks, and fast food. \n\n -Maintain a healthy weight. \n\n -Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. \n\n -Take medication for high blood pressure according to your doctor's advice. \n\n -Reduce stress by practicing relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, tai chi, etc. \n\n You can prevent various diseases that can arise from high blood pressure by consistently living a healthy lifestyle to reduce high blood pressure. \n\n In addition, it can also improve the quality of life and make the body feel healthier. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Watch out!! Get to know Polio<\/a><\/h3>
Polio is a very dangerous disease because it can cause paralysis and disability for life. The cause of this disease is due to a viral infection that attacks the nervous system. \n\n \n\n The symptoms experienced are paralysis. \n\n What is paralysis? Withdrawal paralysis is all paralysis that occurs suddenly and is sudden weakness and weakness in the whole body in children under the age of 15 years. \n\n \n\n The mode of transmission of polio is through water or food contaminated with feces containing the polio virus. This virus can be transmitted from person to person through the Fecal-Oral. It enters through the oral or nasal cavities, then spreads in the body through the bloodstream. \n\n Apart from not getting the polio vaccine, several of these conditions also increase the risk of contracting polio \n\n - living in poor sanitation areas \n\n - limited access to clean water \n\n - working as a health worker treating polio patients \n\n - traveling to areas that have experienced polio outbreaks \n\n \n\n This virus usually attacks children under the age of 5 and has not received polio immunization. Another symptom that can be found is interference with the respiratory nerves causing difficulty breathing. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of polio can be divided into two types \n\n : 1. Paralytic \n\n polio This type of polio does not cause paralysis. Appears 6-20 days after being exposed to the virus and is mild \n\n . The symptoms experienced include \n\n - fever \n\n - headache \n\n - weakness \n\n - sore throat \n\n - weak muscles \n\n - vomiting \n\n 2. Paralytic \n\n polio This type of polio causes permanent spinal cord and brain paralysis. This condition is the most dangerous type of polio. \n\n Within 1 week, symptoms that can appear include loss of body reflexes, painful muscle tension, and weak legs and arms. \n\n \n\n Immunization is an effective prevention of polio. Prevention of transmission to others through direct contact (droplets) by using masks for those who are sick and healthy. In addition to preventing environmental pollution (fecal-oral) and controlling infection by applying defecation in the toilet and draining it into a septic tank. \n\n \n\n Immediately check with your doctor if your liver experiences similar symptoms. Because polio can cause paralysis even some time after infection \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Risk Factors Of Hypertension Occurrence?<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n \n\n Risk Factors Of Hypertension Occurrence? \n\n Do you know what is called hypertension? Hypertension or commonly known as high blood pressure is a chronic disease suffered by someone with a family history. \n\n Hypertension or high blood pressure can be diagnosed at first-level health care facilities, namely puskesmas, clinics by general practitioners. \n\n Hypertension is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in Indonesia. A person is declared to have high blood pressure when a person has systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg on repeated examinations. Systolic blood pressure is the main measurement used for the basis of determining hypertension. \n\n The classification of hypertension is divided into several sections, adapted from the American Society of Hypertension and the International Society of Hypertension 2020 \n\n \n\n So, what are the risk factors for hypertension? \n\n Risk factors include being over 65 years old, having a family history of hypertension, often consuming excessively high-salt foods, being overweight or obese, consuming less fruit and vegetables, not being active in sports, smoking habits, consuming alcohol frequently, high stress levels. high blood pressure thereby increasing blood pressure temporarily, someone who has certain chronic conditions including kidney disease, diabetes mellitus. \n\n symptoms that can be felt are headaches, vision problems, irregular heart rhythms (such as chest palpitations). While the symptoms of severe hypertension are fatigue, nausea, vomiting, feeling anxious, chest pain, muscle tremors, confusion. \n\n Complications that can occur from uncontrolled high blood pressure include rupture of blood vessels causing stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, irregular heart rhythm, peripheral artery disease. \n\n Lifestyle patterns that can be trained to avoid high blood pressure include weight loss (replacing unhealthy foods by increasing intake of vegetables and fruits), reducing salt intake, adequate exercise (done regularly for 30-60 minutes/day) at least 3 days/week, reduce alcohol consumption, quit smoking. \n\n The management given to hypertensive patients includes lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise), and high blood pressure medications prescribed by the examining doctor \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hypertension in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Not only adults, but children are also at risk of experiencing high blood pressure, or hypertension. \n\n As with adults, hypertension in children can cause serious long-term complications. such as heart disease, kidney disorders, and stroke. \n\n For an adult, it may be easy to tell if he has hypertension simply by checking his blood pressure and comparing it to what it should be. Although children will also run the same tests, interpreting the numbers is more complicated. The doctor will use a chart based on the child's gender, height, and blood pressure to determine whether he has hypertension or not. \n\n Hypertension in children usually does not cause symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, there are several signs that can indicate a child is experiencing an emergency due to high blood pressure. The following symptoms occur: \n\n -Headache \n\n -seizures \n\n -Vomit \n\n -Chest pain \n\n -Rapid heart rate \n\n -hard to breathe \n\n The Causes of Hypertension in Children \n\n High blood pressure, or hypertension, in children is often associated with other health conditions, such as heart defects, kidney disease, genetic conditions, or hormonal disorders. Children who are older and have excess weight are more at risk of experiencing primary hypertension. \n\n The risk factors for children experiencing hypertension depend on health conditions, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Based on the risk factors, hypertension in children is divided into 2 categories, namely: \n\n 1.Primary hypertension \n\n Primary hypertension can occur by itself, without an identifiable cause. This type of hypertension is more common in children who are older, for example, 6 years and older. risk factors for primary hypertension in children, namely: \n\n - Being overweight or obese \n\n - Having a family history of high blood pressure \n\n - Having type 2 diabetes or high blood sugar levels \n\n - Having high cholesterol \n\n - Eating too much salty food \n\n - Being Hispanic \n\n - Being male \n\n - Exposure to cigarette smoke \n\n - Lack of physical activity \n\n - Having secondary hypertension \n\n 2. Secondary Hypertension \n\n Secondary hypertension is caused by other conditions and is more common in children. Causes of this hypertension include: \n\n - Chronic kidney disease \n\n - Polycystic kidney disease \n\n - Heart problems, such as severe narrowing (coarctation) of the aorta \n\n - Adrenal disorders \n\n - Hyperthyroidism \n\n - Pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor of the adrenal gland \n\n - Narrowing of the arteries to the kidneys (renal artery stenosis) \n\n - Sleep disturbances (sleep apnea) \n\n - consumption of certain drugs \n\n How to Prevent and Overcome Hypertension in Children \n\n In general, the treatment of hypertension in children is not much different from that of adults. The following ways can help prevent and treat hypertension: \n\n 1. Implementing a hypertension diet \n\n One important way to deal with hypertension in children is through a healthy diet that is often recommended to reduce high blood pressure, namely the DASH diet. In this diet method, children must eat less fat, more vegetables, fruit, and whole grains; reduce salt intake; and reduce sweet foods and drinks, including juice. so that the child's blood pressure is stable and various complications are avoided. \n\n 2. Introduce children to regular physical activity and exercise \n\n Exercising regularly can also help lower blood pressure. This is because being active and getting used to exercising regularly have a big impact on the health of blood vessels and the heart. Therefore, make sure the child exercises for at least 1 hour a day and choose the type of exercise that is appropriate for the child's age. \n\n 3. Keep children away from cigarette smoke \n\n Frequent exposure to cigarette smoke can increase blood pressure and damage a child's heart and blood vessels. So, as much as possible, protect children from cigarette smoke, especially from the people around them. \n\n 4. Give blood pressure-lowering drugs to children as directed by the doctor. \n\n Blood pressure-lowering drugs will only be given by a doctor if lifestyle changes are not successful in reducing hypertension. Hypertension drugs may be given temporarily or take longer, depending on the child's condition. \n\n In addition, if a child is known to be at risk for developing hypertension, it is best if the child's blood pressure is checked regularly starting at the age of 3 years. Uncontrolled hypertension can also damage the eye by causing the arteries to narrow and twist, thereby restricting the blood supply. Finally, this condition can lead to vision problems. If not treated immediately, hypertension in children can continue into adulthood and increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney disease in the future. Immediately consult a doctor to get the right examination and treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Are Lumps That Arise Suddenly Dangerous ?<\/a><\/h3>
When they see a part of the body where a lump suddenly appears, many immediately panic and suspect the cause. Despite the fact that there are dangerous lumps and those that are not, this sign should not be ignored. Lumps that appear can be a signal that there are organs that are not working properly. When getting a lump on the body, you should not panic. Panic can actually be harmful to one's health due to inability to sleep, decreased appetite, and a weakened immune system. \n\n \n\n Identify Sudden Lumps \n\n Tumors are lumpy growths that can appear anywhere on the body, including the back, hands, neck, and others. The appearance of a lump can occur due to injury, infection, inflammation, or abnormal cell growth. A doctor performs the most accurate detection after examining the patient with a tool appropriate for the condition. It is best to come to the health center immediately after finding any unusual body parts. However, for early anticipation, detection can be done by paying attention to the condition of the lump. Here's how to tell whether a lump is dangerous or not. \n\n 1. Time appears \n\n When some children are born, they have congenital lumps in various parts of their bodies. If it doesn't get bigger, it's usually harmless. Hemangioma is the medical term for this condition. Congenital lumps will shrink and disappear with the growth of the child. However, as a precaution and to keep your mind at ease, you can do it intensively at a doctor's office or clinic. \n\n 2. Cause \n\n Lumps can be dangerous or not depending on the cause. On parts of the body that hit or fall and experience bruising, it is not uncommon to cause a lump. Lumps like this are not dangerous. The pain will disappear along with the disappearance of the lump. What needs to be done is to relieve pain by compressing it. \n\n 3. Infection \n\n Not infrequently, after a lump occurs, it will become infected and ooze pus. This indicates a wound that may not be visible. It is best to treat the infection immediately by taking antibiotics. This type of lump followed by the appearance of pus is usually called a boil or abscess. If it has spread and the infection has spread, the doctor will perform a small operation to clean and treat the wound. This treatment is quite easy and fast, so for those who have an infection, as long as it is treated quickly, it will not have a negative impact on their health. \n\n 4. Characteristics \n\n Based on their characteristics, there are two types of lumps. First, if you hold the lump, it feels hard and rough. In addition, the part of the body that has a lump is moving and causing pain. The surface is rough and grows fast. This type of lump is included in the dangerous category. Because of that, you should immediately consult a doctor. Conversely, some bumps are soft to the touch, like the rest of the skin. The affected part is still easy to move. If it hurts, it's usually due to the impact that caused the lump to appear. After a few days, it will shrink and eventually disappear, even without treatment. \n\n 5. Symptoms \n\n Symptoms or conditions that accompany the appearance of a lump can be concerning, whether or not they are dangerous. In conditions caused by cancer or cell damage, lumps that appear are accompanied by several signs. Sufferers will usually experience prolonged weakness, lethargy, fever, and weight loss. It is not uncommon to lose your appetite. These symptoms are an indication that the lump is cancer that must be treated immediately before it spreads. Apart from cancer, lumps can also appear due to a buildup of glands, such as in the lymph, which is quite dangerous. Self-awareness of the appearance of a lump can facilitate healing and detect its cause. Knowledge of how to distinguish between dangerous and non-dangerous lumps is important to anticipate so that health problems can be treated immediately. If you find a lump in a part of your body, you should immediately do the detection yourself by paying attention to the symptoms and feelings and the consequences that arise. \n\n \n\n Are Lumps That Appear Suddenly Dangerous ? \n\n Usually, a dangerous lump does not appear immediately but starts with a mark on a certain part of the body. This type of lump is dangerous because it appears small at first but then grows in size. When you find a lump on a part of your body, you should immediately find out the cause. Conversely, a harmless lump can appear immediately large, as in the case of an impact bruise. Therefore, by paying attention to its appearance, one can predict whether it is dangerous or not. \n\n Due to the emergence of small and enlarged tumors, it is not uncommon for patients to pay less attention and not immediately go to the doctor for an examination. This is what causes many cases to be late for medical treatment. Instead, always pay attention to the body, changes in taste, and indications that appear. The faster the treatment, the easier it is to recover. Lumps that appear suddenly are usually harmless. But there's nothing wrong with dealing with one immediately if you find one. Treatment of this condition depends on the cause. Because it is critical to know as soon as possible so that you can administer the appropriate treatment. \n\n Friends of Hermina can consult with surgeons at the hospital about disturbing lumps. Hermina's closest friend or Hermina's best friend can also consult online with a hospital specialist. Hermina with the Hello Hermina app \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Flesh in a tooth cavity, is it dangerous?<\/a><\/h3>
Friends of Hermina, have you ever noticed the presence of gums coming out of cavities? This is called a pulp polyp. \n\n Pulp polyps, in medical terms known as chronic hyperplastic pulpitis, are an inflammatory condition of the dental pulp, which is the center of the tooth that contains the tissue and cells that form the tooth. This condition occurs due to an increase in the number of cells in the tissue as a reaction to chronic inflammation and usually occurs in teeth whose nerves have died. \n\n \n\n The inflammation that occurs is caused by irritation or bacterial infection of the exposed dental pulp due to damage to the crown of the tooth, such as cavities. The infection can be triggered by exposure to bacteria, leftover food, and other substances found in the oral cavity, as well as several other things, as follows: \n\n \n Dental caries, which cause a lot of loss of tooth structure, especially the enamel, \n failure to repair dental tissue, so that the dental cavity is exposed to bacteria and other pathogens in the oral cavity. \n Broken teeth due to injury \n the emergence of hypersensitivity reactions in the teeth. \n The influence of hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, \n the presence of an open tooth cavity that still has good blood flow. \n \n\n \n\n Pulp polyps generally appear in the front and back molars because they have a fairly large tooth cavity. Pulp polyps often appear as a single lesion on a single tooth, but sometimes they can occur in several teeth. Usually, the polyp will grow to its maximum size within a few months, after which it will settle in size. Some other symptoms that appear in the oral cavity when experiencing a pulp polyp include: \n\n \n the appearance of a soft tissue lump that is visible through a cavity or a tooth crack. \n The color of these bumps varies; some are red and some are pink. \n The occurrence of bleeding in the polyp, especially when scraped by hands or other tools, can cause open sores (ulcers). \n It feels hard or swollen in the cheek and mouth area, especially in the area close to the polyp. \n \n\n \n\n There are several medical treatments that can be done to treat pulp polyps, namely: \n\n \n\n \n Surgery \n \n\n Surgical procedures are the mainstay of treatment for removing pulp polyps. The type of surgery performed can also vary according to the condition of the polyp and the patient's tooth. The usual surgeries are: \n\n \n Complete removal of the polyp-affected tooth is performed by removing the polyp-affected tooth and its roots. Surgery is performed by leaving the part of the tooth affected by the polyp as small as possible in the oral cavity. With this principle, when treating teeth affected by polyps through extraction, the root of the tooth must also be removed as much as possible. \n Pulpotomy, which is a surgical method that is done by cutting the polyp without removing the tooth that has the polyp, Keep in mind that, while pulpotomy produces good results, the damage caused by polyps to the teeth is irreversible in cases of long-standing polyps.In such cases, extraction of part of the tooth and its root should also be performed. \n installation of the tooth enamel barrier and the addition of resin to the tooth roots to prevent the development of pulp polyps, especially in growing teeth. \n \n\n \n\n \n Medicines \n \n\n The drugs that can be given to treat pulp polyps are generally antibiotics. The type of antibiotic given is usually in the form of a paste that is used to reduce bacterial infections in teeth and polyps. Oral antibiotics may also be given to reduce systemic bacterial infections. \n\n \n\n The way to prevent pulp polyps is to maintain oral and dental health and have regular dental checkups. If Hermina's friends have complaints such as more flesh appearing in place of cavities, they should immediately consult a dentist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. \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.

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.

Dangers of Stunting in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Stunting is a serious condition in children, namely a condition of failure to thrive caused by chronic malnutrition, and is characterized by a child's height being below the average or very short child, and his body not growing and developing properly according to his age. It lasts for a long time. Stunting in children should not be taken lightly. If not treated, this condition can interfere with brain development and reduce the child's mental ability and intelligence level. This condition is triggered by several factors since infection in the mother's womb, which include infection in pregnancy, malnutrition (malnutrition) in pregnant women, suboptimal nutrition in infants from birth to the first two years of life, recurrent infections, or poor stimulation from the environment. A child is said to be stunted if he has a shorter height than other children his age or if the child's height is below the standard growth curve established by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2020, Indonesia will occupy the 2nd position for the highest number of stunts in Southeast Asia. According to data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, about 1 in 3 Indonesian toddlers is stunted. \n\n Causes of Stunting in Children \n\n The cause of stunting in children occurs due to a lack of nutritional intake in children in the first 1,000 days of life, namely since the child is still in the womb until he is 2 years old. Stunting in children can be caused by problems during pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or after, such as inadequate complementary feeding. \n\n Characteristics of Stunting in Children \n\n The general characteristics of stunting in children can be seen from the child's stunted stature when he reaches the age of 2 years. The child may also have a thin body (wasting) or his body development is not in accordance with normal. Although it looks short and thin, the child's body is still proportional. But keep in mind, not all short children are called stunted. \n\n In addition to experiencing growth disorders, here are some signs of stunting in children: \n\n -Experience a decrease in intelligence level, speech disorders, and learning difficulties \n\n -Has a low immune system, making it easier to get sick, especially due to infectious diseases \n\n -Risk of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity as an adult \n\n All of the characteristics of stunted children are the impact of lack of nutrition, frequent disease, and bad parenting in the first 1,000 days of a child's life. \n\n How to prevent stunting in children \n\n The way to overcome stunting is to provide children with adequate nutrition from the womb, after birth, and during the growth period. \n\n Learn how to prevent stunting in the following children: \n\n 1. Fulfill Nutrition During Pregnancy \n\n Pregnant women should eat a healthy and balanced diet during pregnancy, even before conception. This is to ensure that the fetus will receive optimal nutrition in the womb, be born healthy, and also receive good nutrition after birth. \n\n 2. Fulfill Your Little One's Nutrition Optimally \n\n The way to prevent stunting is to provide your baby with complete nutrition and a nutritious diet. Important and essential nutrients for your little one are vitamins (A, B complex, C, D, E, and K), minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium, potassium, and chloride), protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and liquids. After that, parents are advised to give their little one nutritious milk that is appropriate for his age. The benefits of milk are to maintain the immune system, support the growth of bones and teeth, produce energy, nourish the brain, and support the growth and development of children as a whole. \n\n 3. Practicing Proper Hygiene \n\n The problem of stunting can also be triggered by poor environmental hygiene. Therefore, parents and all family members should practice proper hygiene, for example, washing their hands with soap and running water before and after preparing food. \n\n 4. Overcoming Children Who Have Difficulty Eating \n\n One of the triggers of malnutrition is the result of children who have difficulty eating. There are several reasons why a child won't eat, including food allergies or intolerances, reflux, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic, or other more serious health conditions. Parents can apply ways to deal with children who have difficulty eating as follows: \n\n -Provide a variety of healthy and diverse foods. \n\n -Completes balanced nutritional needs, including one third fruit and vegetables, one-third carbohydrates such as rice, and one-third protein such as meat, fish, or other vegetarian protein sources. \n\n -Consumption of healthy drinks such as milk, home-made tea, vegetable and fruit juices, infused water, yogurt, and others. \n\n -Give your little one healthy snacks such as fruit slices, vegetable salads, oatmeal, cheese, or other delicious homemade preparations. \n\n 5.

Important! Maintaining Heart Health With Regular Sleep<\/a><\/h3>
Sleep is one of the most important things because it can affect the quality of the body during daily activities. Most people choose to sleep late or stay up late, thus underestimating the benefits of regular sleep. In fact, if we often lack sleep at night, we can find it difficult to move the next day. \n\n The results of the study say sleep duration has a major effect on heart health. If a person has bad sleeping habits, it will have a negative impact on their hearts. In fact, even if you are not a smoker and regularly do sports, if you lack sleep, you will be vulnerable to heart attacks. \n\n Lack of sleep not only triggers bags under our eyes. Researchers at the American Heart Association found that sleep deprivation was associated with an increased buildup of calcium in the arteries of the heart. When calcium builds up in the arteries of the heart, it causes plaque that can put us at risk for a heart attack. \n\n Sleep deprivation of one hour per night increases the risk of calcium buildup in the arteries by 33%.Then, people who sleep less than six hours per night have the greatest risk of developing changes in the arteries of the heart. \n\n The researchers studied the sleep patterns of nearly 2,000 adults who wore a sleep tracking device for seven days and also had to fill out a sleep journal. The results show that regular sleep time keeps the heart and metabolism healthy. People who go to bed at irregular times are more at risk of being overweight, having high blood sugar and high blood pressure. They were also more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those with regular sleep patterns. \n\n Researchers believe that sleep, heart health, and metabolism influence each other. But they weren't sure whether it was the loss of sleep that caused the weight gain, or the other way around. To get the maximum benefits of adequate rest above, make sure to sleep according to the recommended number of hours. \n\n Here are the rules of good sleep time according to the National Sleep Foundation according to age group: \n\n newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours daily \n\n infants (4–11 months): 12–15 hours daily. \n\n Toddlers (1-2 years): 11–14 hours daily. \n\n Preschool (3-5 years): 10–13 hours daily. \n\n School age (6–13 years): 9–11 hours daily. \n\n Young adults (18–25 years): 7-9 hours daily. \n\n Adults (26-64 years): 7-9 hours daily. \n\n 7-8 hours daily for the elderly (65 years and over). \n\n You also need to pay attention to habits before and after sleep in order to get good quality sleep. Here are some tips you can do to get good quality sleep: \n\n 1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including on weekends. \n\n 2. Let the body get enough natural sunlight in the morning. \n\n 3. Stay away from exposure to electronic rays such as LEDs from cellphones or televisions before going to bed. \n\n 4. Avoid eating and drinking high-fat foods before bed, especially alcohol and foods high in fat or sugar. \n\n 5. Create a calm, dark, and cool atmosphere in the bedroom. \n\n 6. Exercise every day, but avoid exercising a few hours before bed. \n\n Diseases related to the heart are likely to always cause dangerous disorders, so their prevention is certainly beneficial for the body. You can also ask the nearest Hermina Hospital doctor regarding the adverse effects that occur on heart health due to irregular sleep. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
