Recognize Typhus Fever and DHF Based on the Causes and Symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
Some people think that fever in typhus and dengue fever are the same, but they actually have different symptoms. Typhus and dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DB/DHF) have symptoms that are similar to each other, namely the appearance of fever and the body feeling weak. So some people think typhoid fever is DB/DHF, and vice versa. In fact, if Hermina's friends wrongly suspect the type of disease they are suffering from, it could later lead to errors in treatment. So how do you understand the different symptoms of typhus and dengue fever? Check out the complete review in the following article! \n\n The difference between DB/DHF and typhus is based on the cause \n\n Typhus or in medical language usually called typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by infection with the bacteria Salmonella typhi. These bacteria enter the body or rather the digestive tract through contaminated food, drink or water. Not maintaining food and drink hygiene, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water are thought to be the main causes of typhus. WHO estimates that in 2022 global typhoid cases will occur at 11-20 million per year and cause 128,000-161,00 deaths, and from the Ministry of Health in Indonesia it reached 41,081 cases over the past year and is still increasing. \n\n Meanwhile, dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DB/DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus which is carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The aedes aegypti mosquito is most common during the rainy season and after the rainy season in tropical and subtropical areas. According to the Ministry of Health, in 2022 there were 143,176 cases recorded and 1,236 people died, and in 2023 it fell to 98,071 cases, 764 people were recorded as dead. In fact, both typhoid and dengue fever are the two diseases that most commonly attack Indonesian people, because the environmental conditions that support them are humid and warm places. This disease can attack anyone regardless of age and gender. Both typhus and dengue fever have the main similarity, namely that they both need to be treated and prevented. Let's recognize and understand what the symptoms of typhoid and dengue fever are and how to prevent them that you need to know. \n\n Symptoms of typhus and dengue fever \n\n Typhus and dengue fever do have the same typical symptoms, namely high fever. However, it turns out that both have different patterns of appearance. In dengue fever, the fever is high with a temperature of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The appearance of fever is usually sudden. In addition, fever with dengue symptoms will last throughout the day and can last up to 7 days. Fever in typhus cases, which mostly occurs in children aged 3-18 years, appears slowly. At the beginning of the symptoms, the body temperature is not too high or even normal. Then, the fever will rise gradually every day, and can reach up to 40.5 degrees Celsius. Typhus fever can also fluctuate, for example appearing at night and decreasing in the morning. \n\n The following are various different characteristics of typhus and dengue fever that Hermina's friends need to know and understand. \n\n 1. Red spots or rash \n\n In dengue fever, red spots typical of dengue fever will appear under the skin which occur due to bleeding and when pressed, the red spots do not fade. Apart from red spots, people affected by dengue fever also often experience nosebleeds and light bleeding on the gums. Meanwhile, in typhus, the red spots that appear are not bleeding spots, but are the result of infection from Salmonella bacteria. \n\n 2. Time of incident \n\n Another clear difference between the symptoms of typhoid and dengue fever is the time of occurrence of the disease. Dengue fever occurs seasonally, especially during the rainy season where a humid environment is the most suitable place for mosquitoes to breed. Meanwhile, typhoid is not a seasonal disease and can occur throughout the year if the environment is not properly maintained. \n\n 3. The pain that appears \nSymptoms of DB/DHF cause weakness, headaches, muscle, joint and bone pain. This pain usually begins to be felt after the fever appears. Apart from that, DHF will also cause symptoms of stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, as well as a red rash appearing on the body. Meanwhile, typhus is a disease related to the digestive tract, so symptoms of fever are definitely accompanied by symptoms of pain in the digestive tract, such as stomach pain, diarrhea, even constipation, if the infection becomes severe it can be followed by a decrease in consciousness. \n\n 4. The appearance of shock \nIn DB/DHF, warning signs may appear such as abdominal tenderness, continuous vomiting, swelling due to fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding and restlessness. The next emergency that can occur is shortness of breath and shock due to failure in fluid distribution to vital organs. Meanwhile, in typhus, shock generally occurs after untreated symptoms appear, such as decreased consciousness. \n\n 5. Disease complications \nOne complication that can occur is blood vessel damage, which can cause bleeding. If not treated immediately, this condition will cause organ system failure which is characterized by increased liver function, decreased consciousness and heart and other organs which can lead to death. Meanwhile, complications of typhoid can cause a hole in the intestine (intestinal perforation) which can cause intestinal contents to leak into the abdominal cavity and cause infection. If the abdominal cavity is infected, this will cause peritonitis, which is an infection of the tissue that lines the inside of the stomach. This infection can cause various organs to stop functioning. \n\n \n\n The only way to confirm that the fever that Hermina's friend is experiencing is a symptom of typhoid or DB/DHF is to see a doctor and do a blood test. So, if you have a high fever that has lasted for more than three days, immediately see a doctor to get a recommendation for a blood test at the nearest laboratory. By carrying out a blood test, you will know for sure what disease you are experiencing. \n\n In DB/DHF disease, examination is usually carried out by checking routine blood which can assess the number of hematocrit and platelets. A person affected by dengue fever can experience an increase in the hematocrit number with a decrease in blood pressure. Meanwhile, to confirm typhus, the doctor will recommend that you carry out an IgM Salmonella (sensitivity 88%) or Widal (sensitivity 77%) test after experiencing a fever for at least 5 days. This examination is carried out to find out whether your sister's blood contains proteins / antibodies against the bacteria that cause typhoid. \n\n Consult the health of Hermina Friends at RSU Hermina Pandanaran.

Getting to know Stunting, causes and ways to prevent it in children<\/a><\/h3>
Stuntingthat ischronic nutritional problems due to lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time resulting in impaired growth in children. Stunting is also one of the causes of stunted height in children, making them lower than children their age. It is not uncommon for people to think that short stature is a genetic factor and has nothing to do with health problems. In fact, genetic factors have a small influence on a person's health condition compared to environmental factors and health services. Usually, stunting begins to occur when the child is still in the womb and becomes visible when they are two years old. Stunting has symptoms that you can recognize, for example: \n\n \n His face looks younger than his age \n Delayed body and tooth growth \n Has poor ability to focus and learning memory \n Delayed puberty \n When they are 8-10 years old, children tend to be quieter and don't make much eye contact with the people around them \n Lighter weight for a child his age \n \n\n The Ministry of Health emphasizes that stunting is a major threat to the quality of Indonesian society. Not only does it interfere with physical growth, children also experience brain development disorders which will affect their abilities and achievements. Apart from that, children who suffer from stunting will have a history of poor health due to poor immune system. Stunting can also be passed on to the next generation if it is not treated seriously. \n\n Considering that stunting is a health problem that is quite dangerous, understanding the factors that cause stunting is very important. That way, you can take preventive steps to avoid it. \n\n Here are several factors that cause stunting that you need to know: \n\n 1. Malnutrition for a Long Time \nWithout realizing it, the causes of stunting can basically occur when the child is in the womb. Because, from the time they are in the womb, children may experience malnutrition problems. The reason is because the mother does not have access to healthy and nutritious food such as high protein food, which causes her baby to also lack nutrition. Apart from that, low intake of vitamins and minerals consumed by the mother can also influence the condition of fetal malnutrition. Malnutrition from the womb can also be the biggest cause of stunting in children. \n\n 2. Less effective parenting \nIneffective parenting patterns are also one of the causes of stunting in children. Parenting here is related to the behavior and practices of giving food to children. If parents do not provide good nutritional intake, children can experience stunting. Apart from that, maternal factors that are poor in nutrition during adolescence and pregnancy and poor lactation can also affect the child's growth and brain. \n\n 3. Diet \nLow access to food with high nutritional value and an unbalanced diet can affect children's growth and increase the risk of stunting. This is because mothers do not understand the concept of nutrition before, during and after giving birth. \n\n 4. Not having postpartum care \nAfter the baby is born, it is best for the mother and baby to receive postnatal care. It is also highly recommended for babies to receive breast milk directly to strengthen their immune system. Postnatal care is considered necessary to detect disorders that the mother and child may experience after delivery. \n\n 5. Mental disorders and hypertension in mothers \nIneffective parenting patterns are also one of the causes of stunting in children. Parenting here is related to the behavior and practices of giving food to children. If parents do not provide good nutritional intake, children can experience stunting. Apart from that, maternal factors that are poor in nutrition during adolescence and pregnancy and poor lactation can also affect the child's growth and brain. \n\n 6. Recurring infections \nRecurrent infections in children are caused by the body's immune system not working optimally. When a child's immune system does not function well, the risk of developing various types of health problems, including stunting, becomes higher. Because stunting is a disease that is susceptible to children, it is a good idea to always ensure that your child's immunity is maintained so that they avoid infection. \n\n 7. Sanitation Factors \nPoor sanitation and limited access to clean water will increase the risk of stunting in children. If children grow up in an environment with inadequate sanitation and water conditions, this can affect their growth. Low access to health services is also one of the factors causing stunting. \n\n \n\n How to Prevent Stunting? \n\n \n\n 1. Routine inspection \nDuring pregnancy, mothers need to have regular check-ups or examinations to ensure their weight is appropriate for their gestational age. Pregnant women should also not experience anemia or lack of blood because this will affect the fetus in the womb. This blood pressure control can be done during routine check-ups. \n\n 2. Understand the concept of nutrition \nMake sure you get enough nutritional intake every day, especially during pregnancy. Understand the concept of nutrition well and apply it in parenting patterns. \n\n 3. Various menu choices \nTry to always provide a varied food menu for children. Don't forget the nutrition and nutritional factors they need every day. During pregnancy and afterward, mothers also need to get good and balanced nutrition to avoid stunting problems. \n\n 4. Consume Folic Acid \nFolic acid plays an important role in supporting the development of the baby's brain and spinal cord. This substance can also reduce the risk of pregnancy disorders by up to 72%. By consuming folic acid, failure in the development of the baby's organs during pregnancy can also be prevented. \n\n 5. Improve Cleanliness \nRecurrent infections in children are caused by the body's immune system not working optimally. When a child's immune system does not function well, the risk of developing various types of health problems, including stunting, becomes higher. Because stunting is a disease that is susceptible to children, it is a good idea to always ensure that your child's immunity is maintained so that they avoid infection. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Coughing in children? Here's how to solve it<\/a><\/h3>
Coughs and colds are common problems affecting children. Coughs and colds are usually caused by viruses or bacteria that infect the nose and throat. Coughs and colds caused by viral infections can go away on their own within a few days, so antibiotic treatment is not necessary. Coughs and colds that need to be treated with antibiotics are due to bacterial infections. Even though they are not dangerous, coughs and colds can interfere with children's activities and rest. \n\n Children who are usually cheerful may also appear lethargic and uninspired. If so, as a parent you will definitely feel sad and hope that your child will be healthy again. So that coughs and colds do not interfere with your child's activities and reduce their activities, there are several simple steps that mothers can take to relieve them without the need for medication. \n\n Treating Coughs and Colds at Home \n\n If your child has a cold and cough, it is advisable to consult a doctor first, especially if your child is under 2 years old. Even so, Mothers can still help relieve their complaints with the following simple efforts: \n\n 1. Make sure your child gets enough sleep \n\n During a cold, your child's body needs more energy to fight the virus or bacteria that causes the infection. So make sure your child gets enough sleep and rest. Make his bedroom comfortable so he can sleep better. Apart from restoring energy, your child's body also needs sleep to recover. \n\n 2. Lie down with your head straight \n\n When you have a cold, your child may have a blocked nose, making it difficult to breathe, and may become fussy due to difficulty sleeping. To make it easier for your little one to breathe, keep his head elevated when he sleeps. Use extra pillows to support your little one's head and shoulders. \n\n 3. Drink lots of water \n\n If your child is over 6 months old, give him more water to drink. Water helps thin phlegm in the respiratory tract, making it easier to expel. Apart from that, by drinking enough water, your child will avoid dehydration which can trigger various other health problems. \n\n You can also give him a hot drink, such as tea, to distract him. Apart from relieving colds and coughs, hot drinks can also relieve sore throats. \n\n If your baby is still breastfeeding, continue breastfeeding. Breast milk can help babies recover from flu more quickly. \n\n 4. Give honey \n\n Since ancient times, people have believed that honey can relieve coughs and sore throats. In fact, many people find these sugary drinks more effective than over-the-counter cough medicines. However, honey should only be given to children over 1 year old. \n\n To relieve cold and cough, give your child half a teaspoon of honey before bed. To make it easier for your child to eat, you can mix 2 teaspoons of honey with lemon juice or warm tea. \n\n 5. Apply special children's balm \n\n Another way to relieve coughs and colds in children is to apply lip balm to their chest, neck and back. However, make sure the balm you use is formulated for babies or children. Baby balms often contain menthol, eucalyptus, chamomile, and camphor. These natural ingredients are considered safe and effective in relieving coughs and colds in children. \n\n Even though the simple steps above can relieve coughs and colds, you still need to be alert and consult a doctor, especially if your child is under 3 months old. \n\n You also need immediate medical attention if your child's cough does not improve after 10 days, is accompanied by a high fever (above 38 degrees Celsius), shortness of breath, yellow or green phlegm and mucus, or if your child does not want to eat. and breastfeeding. \n\n If we don't want our little ones to get recurring colds, then teach them to live cleanly, wash their hands diligently with soap and running water, and cover their nose or mouth when they sneeze/cough. This behavior can stop the transmission of children's coughs and colds. \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>

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

The Importance of Immunization for Children<\/a><\/h3>
Immunization goals \n\n prevent dangerous infectious diseases before they spread in the community. \n\n How do vaccines work? \n\n Immunization àof the body forms immunity àThe immune system will form specific immunity against certain diseases. \n\n In the future, if the child is infected with the disease, the child will not get sick because the immune system will immediately react quickly against the disease. \n\n Why should children be immunized? \n\n \n Immunization is a safe and effective way to prevent diseases that are widely circulating in the community. The benefits of immunization are enormous when compared to the very small risk of vaccine side effects. \n If enough people in a community are immunized, it won't take long for the infection to spread from person to person. \n Children who have been immunized if they get sick are generally mild. \n \n\n Why do children need to get so many immunizations? \n\n Several immunizations are needed in the early years of a child's life to prevent dangerous diseases. The more diseases that can be prevented, the higher the chances of a child living with a better quality of growth and development. \n\n The baby's immune system is immature. The baby's immune system cannot work as well as in older children or adults, so immunizations need to be repeated. \n\n Is immunization safe? \n\n Some children may experience mild vaccine side effects, occurring within 1-2 days after receiving immunization and recovering quickly without having to receive medication. \n\n The most common side effects are redness, swelling, pain at the injection site, and may be accompanied by low-grade fever or irritability. \n\n How to handle: \n\n \n Give more to drink \n Don't wear thick clothes \n If necessary, paracetamol can be given to reduce fever. \n \n\n It should be remembered that the currently available vaccines are very safe compared to if the child has to suffer from a disease that can be prevented by immunization. \n\n \n\n How long will immunization provide immunity? \n\n In general, immunization will produce immunity after 2 weeks of administration. This means that prevention of the disease is not immediately obtained after the child has received immunization. Some immunizations need to be repeated several times to get long-term prevention. \n\n \n\n What are the consequences if immunization is late? \n\n The immunization schedule has been prepared taking into account the exact time when a child must be protected against dangerous infectious diseases. If it is too late to give immunizations at the proper age, children will be vulnerable to disease transmission. \n\n For immunizations that must be given several times, the distance between the two immunizations is 4-8 weeks. If it is too far, the immunity that is formed is not optimal. \n\n Do late immunizations have to be repeated? \n\n If you realize that the immunization is late, immediately come to the health facility and ask for the missed immunization. \n\n Hermina's friend, \n\n Child immunization is the administration of vaccines to children to prevent transmission of certain diseases. Vaccines are substances that function to help form immunity or immunity against infection with a number of infectious diseases. \n\n \n\n Hermina Periuk Hospital Tangerang serves Immunization or Vaccination of Children. \n\n Information and registration contact: \n\n (021) 29432525 \n\n 0857-8268-2142 (WA) \n\n _ \n\n Stay healthy Hermina friends \n\n _ \n\n Enjoy the convenience of registration via: \n\n 1.

Don't Miss Child Immunizations<\/a><\/h3>
Basic immunization is very important for children, because the child's immune system is not yet fully developed. The Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recommends several complete vaccinations for children over a certain age. The timing and methods of vaccination also vary, some are started at birth or after the child is several months old. So that Hermina's Friends don't have the wrong schedule in giving basic immunizations to their children, we see in full below!\n\nWhat is basic immunization?\nA healthy family is every family's dream, especially the health of the baby. Vaccination is a proven way to prevent deadly infectious diseases. By vaccinating children, we can protect our children because babies and young children are very susceptible to several diseases.\nA vaccine is a type of bacteria or virus that has been weakened or killed to stimulate the immune system by making antibodies in the body. These antibodies protect the body in the future. The body is immune to disease without having to catch it first. Unlike medication, vaccination is a way to prevent it.\nIn Indonesia, the concept of complete routine immunization is known, divided into basic immunization and advanced immunization. The implementation of this vaccination is carried out depending on the age of the child. Primary immunization in children is the most important preventive and follow-up vaccination to maintain the body's immunity so that it remains optimal in old age. \n\n vaccination purposes\nThe purpose of vaccination is to obtain immunity or immunity of a child and eradicate disease in the population of a region or country. At least 70% of the population of the region or country must be vaccinated. Equally important is the post-immunization (booster vaccine), which must be carried out at certain times to increase the population's immunity.\nBy vaccinating children, the body is better able to resist and overcome infectious diseases. And when several people in a group are immune to a disease, it becomes more difficult for it to spread and spread to unvaccinated people. This is called herd immunity or herd immunity. Types and benefits of vaccination\nTo better understand the importance of adhering to the basic childhood immunization schedule, here are the benefits of each recommended childhood vaccine:\n• Hepatitis B vaccination to prevent liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus, which can cause mild illness lasting a few weeks or serious illness lasting a lifetime.\n• Polio vaccination to prevent polio in children.

Watch Out for Children's Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Phase<\/a><\/h3>
Dear Hermina's friends, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, or DHF as it is frequently abbreviated, is an illness brought on by the dengue virus and spread by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The Ministry of Health reported 45,387 cases of dengue up until the 22nd week of 2022, with 432 incidents of deaths. The danger of spreading this virus is significant in nations with tropical and subtropical climates, and it may even increase during the rainy season. When a kid has dengue fever, there are three stages that must be recognized: \n\n \n \n Phase 1 (High Fever Phase) \n \n \n\n This stage is characterized by a high fever that can approach 40 degrees Celsius and lasts for two to seven days, along with pain in the muscles and throat and the development of red spots. A decline in platelets may be indicated by the number of spots that emerge. \n\n \n \n Phase 2 (Critical Phase) \n \n \n\n Parents must be on the lookout for the Crucial Period. The reason for this is that during this stage, the platelets drastically drop, the pulse becomes feeble, and consciousness starts to fade. This phase often starts on the third to seventh day. If not treated right away, this ailment may be fatal. Abdominal pain, persistent nausea and vomiting, breathing difficulties, dark feces, and nose or gum bleeding are indicators that a crucial phase has begun. \n\n \n \n Phase 3 (Recovery Phase) \n \n \n\n The fluid that first exited the blood vessels will reenter during the healing stage. As conditions gradually improve and appetite starts to grow, platelets will eventually start to climb and return to normal. \n\n Similar to dengue fever in adults, dengue fever in children is characterized by a quick rise in temperature to 29 degrees Celsius, as well as the sudden onset of symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, pains, muscle or joint pain, and in some cases, eye pain. Be attentive if you notice your child exhibiting the aforementioned symptoms. If necessary, administer paracetamol to lower the child's fever as first aid; the dosage can be modified based on the child's weight.Don't forget to give the child extra fluids till they can be transferred for more help. Because ionic drinks have the benefit of being swiftly absorbed by the body and having a long shelf life, the fluids that the body itself needs are those with isotonic ion levels. \n\n If Hermina's child exhibits any warning signs, such as nausea, vomiting, unbearable stomach discomfort that prevents him from eating or drinking, chilly hands and feet, or dehydration, friends of Hermina are urged to take the child right away to the nearest hospital. Don't be afraid to ask our pediatrician at Hermina Galaxy Hospital about your child's health. By following our @rsuherminagalaxy profiles on Instagram and TikTok, you can learn more about health information provided by Hermina Galaxy Hospital.

This article will discuss some important measures that can be taken to prevent tuberculosis in children: \n\n \n\n 1.Vaccination \n\n One of the most important ways to prevent TB in children is vaccination with the BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccine. This vaccine is recommended to be given to infants soon after birth or at an early age, around 2-3 months. The vaccine is highly effective in preventing TB meningitis and severe forms of the disease. However, it is important to note that the BCG vaccine may not provide full protection against pulmonary TB, which is the most common form of the disease. Therefore, it is imperative to adopt additional measures in addition to vaccination to fully prevent childhood tuberculosis. \n\n \n\n 2.Maintain Environmental Hygiene and Sanitation \n\n TB is an infectious disease that can spread through airborne droplets. Therefore, maintaining a clean and sanitized environment is essential to prevent the spread of TB. Make sure children always wash their hands after playing outside or using the toilet. Also, make sure the house is always clean and well-maintained, and avoid excessive humidity. \n\n \n\n 3.Avoiding contact with people infected with TB \n\n If a family member or someone nearby is infected with TB, make sure children do not get too close to the person, especially if the person is coughing or sneezing. Also, make sure the person is on regular TB medication and wears a mask when around children. This can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting TB infection to children. \n\n \n\n 4.Better Living Conditions \n\n Improving living conditions such as overcrowding and poor ventilation in households, schools and health care settings can also help prevent the spread of tuberculosis in children. \n\n \n\n 5.Health Education \n\n Educating communities, families and caregivers about the symptoms of childhood TB infection is another important step towards preventing childhood TB. Overall, it is important to address the prevention of pediatric tuberculosis through a combination of measures such as vaccination, screening, contact treatment, life improvement. \n\n \n\n 6.Improving a child's immune system \n\n Improving children's immunity is essential for preventing TB. Ensure that children get adequate nutrition by eating a healthy and balanced diet. Also, make sure they get enough rest and physical activity to maintain their immune system. \n\n \n\n 7.Seek immediate treatment if your child is infected with TB \n\n If your child is infected with TB, seek proper treatment immediately.
