Your little one's fever won't go down, find out the cause.<\/a><\/h3>
Fever is one of the symptoms that children often experience. Fever is a sign that the body is being attacked by an infection or is experiencing inflammation. Fever is an early symptom of various diseases and usually recovers on its own 3–5 days after a febrifuge. However, if the fever persists for more than a week in a row, this could indicate a more serious problem. \n\n The following are possible causes of fever in children that do not go down: \n\n 1. Improper use of drugs \n\n The use of antipyretic drugs aims to reduce body temperature and make children feel more comfortable, but they are not effective in preventing febrile seizures. Paracetamol is the first line of choice to reduce fever and relieve pain. The combination of two antipyretics, paracetamol and ibuprofen, alternately every 4 hours is not scientifically proven to have a stronger antipyretic or analgesic effect than using one type of antipyretic. \n\n Indications for giving a febrifuge: \n\n The main indication of giving fever-reducing drugs is to make children feel comfortable and reduce parents' anxiety, not to reduce body temperature. Children with a fever of 38 degrees Celsius (measured from the armpit fold) should be given a febrifuge. \n\n By lowering body temperature, the child's activity and alertness will improve, and mood and appetite will also improve. \n\n \n The recommended dose of paracetamol for children aged 1 month to 12 years is 15 mg/kg of body weight. Drink as much as three to four times a day, or every 4-6 hours. \n The dose of ibuprofen for children aged 3 months to 12 years is 5 mg to 10 mg/kg body weight. Drink no more than three times per day, or every 6-8 hours. \n \n\n Improper use of the rules can lead to ineffective drug performance. Maybe this is what causes the fever in children to not go down. \n\n 2. The main cause is not addressed. \n\n As previously stated, fever is not a disease but a symptom of inflammation or infection in the body. Therefore, while taking febrifuge, you also need to provide treatment for the infections that your little one is experiencing so that the child's fever goes down immediately. It is better to check the cause of the child's fever with the doctor if it has not decreased for 3 consecutive days even though it has been given a fever reducer. \n\n Apart from being given medical treatment, some physical treatments that can support what can be done at home include: \n\n \n bed rest: \n \n\n High levels of physical activity can increase the body temperature of children with and without fever. However, the movement of a feverish child during normal activities is not enough to cause a fever. Forcing a child with a fever to go to bed rest is ineffective, unpopular, and psychologically disturbing. Bed rest did not significantly lower temperature in a case-control study of 1082 children with fever. \n\n \n Warm water compresses (tepid sponging): \n \n\n To compress or sponge with warm water is referred to as tepid. Using warm water compresses on the armpit folds and groyne folds (inguinal) for 10-15 minutes will help reduce heat by way of the heat coming out through the pores of the skin through the evaporation process. If the doctor and parents feel that compresses are needed (for example, if the body temperature increases by more than 40 degrees Celsius, which does not respond to febrifuges), it is important to give febrifuge drugs first to reduce the temperature regulating centre in the hypothalamus of the brain and then continue compressing warm water. \n\n As additional information, cold compresses are not recommended for treating fever because they can increase the hypothalamic set point, causing the body to shiver and resulting in an increase in body temperature. Cold compresses cause blood vessels to constrict (vasoconstriction), which increases body temperature. In addition, cold compresses make children feel uncomfortable. Alcohol compress. Compresses using 70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol in water are also not effective in reducing temperature but are superior to those using water. Alcohol inhalation during compressions is dangerous for hypoglycemia and coma. \n\n When should you see a doctor if your child's fever doesn't go down? \n\n As previously explained, if a child's fever does not go down after 3 days, you should immediately consult a doctor to find the best solution. \n\n Aside from that, you can also perform the following tasks. \n\n \n Fix the dosage of drugs and the rules for their use. Make sure he drinks on schedule and regularly. \n Attempting to switch medications, such as from paracetamol to ibuprofen. However, make sure your little one eats before taking ibuprofen. \n To treat fever in children, do not combine ibuprofen and paracetamol. Do not also give aspirin to infants or toddlers. \n Compress your head or take a warm shower to lower your body temperature more quickly. \n \n Make sure your little one drinks lots of water and eats nutritious food, especially fruits and vegetables. \n \n \n\n Bringing babies and children who have a fever to the doctor will help optimise treatment as soon as possible while preventing their condition from getting worse. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recommended Age For Circumcision<\/a><\/h3>
The definition of circumcision or circumcision is called circumcision in medicine. Circumcision is a surgical procedure for removing the foreskin or skin covering the penis. And this action has health benefits because the aim is to make the head of the penis open so that it is easy to clean and reduce the risk of infection and can even reduce the risk of penile cancer or prevent various venereal diseases. \n\n \n\n Then the recommended age for circumcision, in general, parents still do not know when is the right time for circumcision of boys.\nThe right time for circumcision is classified into 3 groups, namely as follows:\n- Less than 1 year old (group 1)\n- Age 1-7 years (group 2)\n- Age > 7 years (group 3) \n\n \n\n Of the three groups, circumcision of children at the age of less than one year can reduce the risk of complications due to anesthesia. Therefore, please note that circumcision is performed on newborns (newborn) is not recommended. Many benefits can be felt in children, especially when children have entered adulthood. \n\n Following are the benefits of circumcision in boys, which include:\n1. Prevent the risk of disease in the penis.\nFor example: pain in the foreskin of the penis called phimosis.\n2. Reducing the occurrence of urinary tract infections.\nThis is especially beneficial in boys because the foreskin on the penis is removed. Usually, germs will nest in the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis.\n3. For boys who have been circumcised, they will avoid various problems with penile diseases, such as infections and inflammation.\n4. Performing circumcision makes it easier for boys to clean their sex organs when they are adults, so that the cleanliness of the child's sex organs is maintained.\n5. Can prevent the risk of penile cancer and cervical cancer in partners. \n\n \n\n So, for an explanation of the benefits of circumcision, it is necessary to be aware of the risks of circumcision in children, apart from the many health benefits of circumcision, it is possible that there are risks that accompany it. Even so, the risks of circumcision are far less than the benefits of circumcision in children. Because if the procedure is carried out in a hospital with specialist doctors and other medical personnel who are trained and competent in their field, the possibility of adverse effects after circumcision is very small.

Dizzy With Spinning Sensation? Be Alert, It Could Be “VERTIGO”<\/a><\/h3>
Vertigo is a wrong perception of the sensation of body movement, usually the sensation of movement that does not match the sensation of head movement, so that the patient will feel dizzy. Dizziness that is felt depends on how the type of vertigo is experienced. One of the main symptoms of vertigo is dizziness, whether you feel spinning or you feel like you are about to fall. Vertigo complaints experienced depend on the type of vertigo experienced by the patient. In general, vertigo is divided into two, namely vestibular vertigo and non-vestibular vertigo. Vestibular vertigo is a type of vertigo due to disturbances in the vestibular system. The vestibular system is one of our balance systems. There are 3 balance systems that regulate the balance of our body, namely the visual system, the vestibular system, and the somato sensory system. These three balances will affect our balance. Abnormalities in any of these balance systems can cause vertigo. If the patient experiences vestibular vertigo, then what is disturbed is the vestibular system. And if the patient experiences non-vestibular vertigo, then what is disturbed is the visual system or the somato-sensory system.\n \n\n Vestibular vertigo itself is further divided into two, namely peripheral vestibular vertigo and central vestibular vertigo, common complaints that are felt are usually dizziness with a spinning sensation, can be accompanied by nausea / vomiting, can also be followed by hearing loss. Whereas non-vestibular vertigo, complaints that are usually felt like dizziness feel like floating without the sensation of spinning. These complaints are similar to those you feel when you get land/sea sickness or feel dizzy in a crowd, or can be affected by other diseases. So, in general, patients who come to the doctor will complain of vertigo which varies according to the location of the abnormality. Vertigo can stand alone or occur due to other diseases, such as migraines, chronic anemia, hypotension, etc. The type of therapy is according to the type of vertigo complained of by the patient. For example, patients with vestibular vertigo due to benign changes in head position, the main therapy is maneuver therapy which can be done at home.\nThose are some of the most common types of vertigo experienced. If a Hermina friend has vertigo symptoms like the article above, immediately change your lifestyle to be healthier and don't forget to always consult with a specialist. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Diabetes<\/a><\/h3>
Those of you who currently have diabetes or have a diabetic family member frequently question if diabetes can be cured. On the other hand, some people contend that diabetes is incurable. Diabetes complications, also known as diabetes mellitus complications, are so numerous and frustrating for diabetics that they are frequently referred to as the "mother" of all diseases. How could I not, given that this illness frequently results in kidney failure, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and other conditions? \n\n Can diabetes actually be healed, then? \n\n The silent killer, which has an expanding patient population, \n\n A feature of diabetes is elevated blood sugar. Due to a shortage of insulin, this illness develops when the body is unable to properly metabolize blood sugar. In type 1 diabetes, insulin controls blood sugar; in other cases, the body does not react to insulin (in type 2 diabetes). Hunger, thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss are just a few of the classic symptoms of diabetes that are brought on by this increase in blood sugar. Other signs and symptoms include weariness, itchiness in the vaginal region, the inability to heal wounds, and blurred eyesight. \n\n Diabetes mellitus is one of many metabolic illnesses whose prevalence is rising. The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized that the prevalence of diabetes is rising globally, particularly in poorer nations. The number of diabetics in Indonesia ranks fourth in the world. Approximately ten million people were affected. Numerous factors will undoubtedly be impacted by the rising prevalence of diabetes. Diabetes is frequently referred to as the "silent killer." Because the symptoms frequently manifest gradually, go unnoticed by the affected individual, and result in a variety of issues, Diabetes patients may attend hospitals even if they already have heart, kidney, eyesight, nerve, or vascular issues. \n\n Is diabetes curable? Many individuals question if there is a medicine that can cure diabetes in light of the aforementioned facts. Because diabetes cannot be cured, doctors rarely use the word "therapy" when speaking to patients who have the condition. In the sense that blood sugar levels can be stabilized and managed, diabetes can be "cured." Treatment for diabetes aims to achieve this. As a result, those who are impacted display no symptoms, avoid significant difficulties, and may finally go about their everyday lives unharmed. There are numerous techniques to maintain stable blood sugar and manage illness, including: \n\n \n Dietary modification \n Changing your food habits is the first step in treating diabetes. You should substitute simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrates high in fiber, such as brown rice, vegetables, oats, etc., and restrict your intake of carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates like rice or plain bread. Additionally, diabetics need to watch their fat consumption. Unsaturated fats from sources like fish, nuts, and olive oil must be ingested. doing regular exercise Regular exercise can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a study. \n Regular exercise \n Regular exercise helps diabetics manage their blood sugar and lowers their risk of problems. The suggested exercise is aerobic exercise, which should be performed five times each week for 30 minutes each (a total of 150 minutes per week). \n 3. Maintain your weight. \n Weight loss among diabetics makes their bodies appear smaller. But many diabetics also struggle with obesity. Diabetes is a risk factor for obesity. Individuals with obesity and diabetes must lose weight until they reach their desired body weight. Setting a diet and exercising regularly are the two key components. \n \n\n \n Use medication to lower blood sugar. \n Your doctor may advise taking insulin or blood sugar-lowering medications if the three ways listed above fail to regulate your blood sugar or if diabetes is harming your health. Depending on blood sugar levels, the presence of other diseases besides diabetes, and the operation of other organs, the kind, dosage, and guidelines for giving the medication will be chosen. \n Additionally, you should routinely check your blood sugar to verify if it is under control. \n \n\n So, is diabetes curable? "No," is the response. Diabetes can be managed, though. Diabetics can have symptom-free lives, prevent complications, and continue with their daily activities unhindered by their condition by living a healthy lifestyle and using the right medications. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

IDENTIFY THE SYMPTOMS OF STROKE<\/a><\/h3>
According to data from the WHO, stroke is the second largest contributor to death in 2018. The most risky stroke is in elderly people over 65 years old, but twenty-five percent of strokes occur in elderly people under 65 years old. Prevention is better done by recognizing the early symptoms of a stroke in order to get the right treatment. \n\n Definition of Stroke \n\n Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease. The definition according to WHO, Stroke is a condition in which rapidly developing clinical signs are found in the form of focal and global neurologic deficits, which can be severe and last for 24 hours or more and or can cause death, without any other obvious cause other than vascular. Stroke occurs when the blood vessels in the brain are blocked or ruptured. As a result, part of the brain does not get the blood supply that carries the necessary oxygen so that it experiences cell/tissue death. \n\n Risk Factors \n\n Can be modified \n\n \n Hypertension \n Diabetes Mellitus \n Hypercholesterol \n Heart disease \n Obesity \n Unhealthy lifestyle \n \n\n Cannot be modified \n\n \n Genetics / heredity \n Old age \n Gender (males are more at risk than females) \n Race (African-American) \n \n\n Stroke Type \n\n \n Blockage / Ischemic \n Bleeding / Hemorrhagic \n \n\n Stroke Symptoms \n\n \n Smile is not symmetrical (turned to one side) \n Difficulty swallowing water and choking when eating suddenly \n Weakness of half of the body suddenly \n Speech is slurred / can't talk / can't understand words / speech doesn't connect suddenly \n Numbness or numbness or tingling in half of the body suddenly \n Myopic, the view of one or both eyes suddenly blurred \n Sudden severe headache and never felt before \n Impaired balance, such as a sense of spinning and impaired \n \n\n coordination such as tremors/shaking, staggering \n\n Supporting investigation \n\n \n CT scan of the head \n MRI of the head \n ECG \n TCD and carotid doppler \n Laboratory examination \n \n\n Governance \n\n \n Ischemic stroke: · \n \n\n \n Improve blood flow to the brain (reperfusion) using rt-PA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator).

Is difficulty sleeping a symptom of a mental disorder?<\/a><\/h3>
Sleep disturbances are common in this millennial era. Even though sleep disturbances seem like a common thing and are not dangerous, they need to be watched out for because they can increase the risk of other diseases such as hypertension, increased blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Sleep disturbance is also one of the symptoms associated with mental disorders. \n\n In terms of sleep requirements, young adults typically require 7-9 hours of sleep per day.If it lasts less than 24 hours, it is referred to as insomnia.Symptoms of insomnia itself consist of difficulty entering bed, difficulty maintaining sleep, and difficulty returning to sleep after waking up. One of these symptoms can occur alone or in combination with the others. There are two types of insomnia: those that heal on their own (acute insomnia) and those that require treatment.In acute insomnia, it usually occurs in just a matter of days, and the symptoms can go away on their own; usually, this is related to physical or environmental conditions (drinking coffee, deliberately staying up late to do something, etc.). Meanwhile, chronic insomnia can occur in a matter of weeks, months, or even years and is generally related to a person's mental condition. \n\n Difficulty sleeping is not always a symptom of a mental disorder. \n\n Everyone experiences "ups and downs" in their mental health. Stressful experiences, such as the loss of a loved one, can temporarily reduce psychological well-being. In general, a person is said to have a mental disorder if the symptoms encountered interfere with social functioning, work, or daily life for a certain period of time. Each disorder has its own set of symptoms, which can vary widely in severity. However, it is not uncommon to experience disturbances or changes in sleep patterns.
