Yawning can remove earwax is that true?<\/a><\/h3>
Ears are one of the important organs that must be kept healthy, but not everyone knows how to clean their ears properly and correctly. If the health and cleanliness of the ears are not maintained properly, it can cause problems with hearing and balance. \nMaintaining ear hygiene and health is important to prevent various ear problems, such as ear infections, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, or even sudden deafness. \nCerumen, or earwax, is a soft lump that is produced naturally from the oil glands on the outside of the ear canal. The cerumen functions as a protector, starting with protecting the ears from dust, the growth of pathogenic germs, and animals from entering the ears. Basically, cerumen is not dangerous if the amount is not excessive. \nHowever, producing too much cerumen can have an impact on a person's hearing quality. Complaints that can arise due to dirt filling the ear canal include the ear feeling full, sometimes accompanied by communication problems with the person you are talking to. Therefore, it is important to clean earwax before more severe complaints arise. \n\n \nIs it OK to clean your ears with a cotton bud? \nThe ears automatically clean themselves when we talk, chew, or move the jaw. Usually, if it is dirty, earwax comes out by itself along with jaw movements that make the cheek muscles move. So, do you still need to clean your ears with a cotton bud? In fact, cleaning your ears with a cotton bud is not appropriate. Hermina's friends can use cotton buds, but only for the ear lobe. Avoid using cotton buds to clean the inner ear. \nPicking your ears with a cotton bud makes the dirt go deeper and causes the dirt to settle on the inside of the ear, which is only 2.5–3 cm long. Dirt that settles can become hard and obstruct circulation in the ear. This condition causes a person to experience hearing loss. Basically, the ear has a mechanism to clean itself, so we don't need to clean the inside ourselves. Hermina's friends only need to wipe the outside of the ear with soap and water, then dry it with a cloth or towel. \n \nHow to maintain proper ear health \nMaintain body hygiene by bathing every day, especially after traveling outside the home. This method helps soften earwax caused by water flowing from your head when showering or washing your hair. \nHermina's friends can also avoid cleaning their ears independently with cotton buds because this has the potential to push earwax deeper. \n \nAvoid picking your ears with unclean tools and sharp and pointed objects because this can cause injury to the ear canal and even the eardrum. The damage caused can be temporary or permanent. \nThen, avoid inserting fluids or ear drops without a doctor's recommendation. Errors in therapy can damage hearing. \nHermina friends can consult about ear health problems with an ENT specialist at the nearest Hermina Hospital, you can also consult online via the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Increasing HIV and AIDS Cases Among Adolescents<\/a><\/h3>
The increase in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases in Indonesia continues to increase every month. This viral infection can reduce the ability of human immunity to fight foreign objects in the body, which, in the terminal stage of infection, can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Adolescents are more vulnerable to HIV infection due to various social factors, namely limited access and knowledge about sexual education, especially reproductive organs, minimal explanation from parents about sexuality, trauma received in the past, as well as high curiosity. As a result, these teenage children will make decisions that tend to be unsafe and pose a high risk to their physical health. \n\n The 15–25-year age group, which is categorized as teenagers, is the group most frequently infected with HIV. Based on data from the Ministry of Health as of 2022, only 76 percent of people with HIV know their status, 41 percent of people with HIV receive treatment, and only 16 percent of people with HIV receive treatment. The virus is suppressed. It is very unfortunate that HIV transmission in adolescents can be caused by: \n\n 1. Injection drug use \n\n 2. Casual sex, especially with people of the same sex \n\n 3. Through a blood transfusion \n\n 4. From mother to baby \n\n 5. Oral sex \n\n The importance of knowledge related to HIV also needs to be conveyed on an ongoing basis. Collaboration between various parties is very important to expand the education and information provided. That is why education about HIV/AIDS needs to be carried out in schools and outside of school so that teenagers can know the dangers of HIV. \n\n The importance of preventing HIV transmission can be determined using the ABCDE method, namely: \n\n a. Abstinence, meaning absence of sex or not having sex, is for those who are not married, and when getting married, it is important to check HIV status with your partner so that prevention of HIV transmission from mother and child can be minimized. \n\n B: Be faithful, be loyal to your partner, and not change partners. \n\n Condoms prevent sexual transmission by providing protection. \n\n D: Drug No, do not use illegal drugs, and avoid sharing needles and non-sterile needles. \n\n E: Education provides education and information related to HIV. \n\n This is why it is very important to provide sexual education and reproductive organ health to children from an early age. It's not about taboo; it's more about how the next generation of young people can get the right information and access so they don't risk contracting HIV. \n\n If you need more complete information about HIV and AIDS, you can ask an internal medicine doctor at Hermina Hospital, Depok. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Beware of Children's Diseases Due to Hot Weather!<\/a><\/h3>
Hello friend Hermina, the hot weather in Indonesia is not ending, it is even estimated at 34-36c. Weather conditions like this mean that Hermina's friends need to pay extra attention to their children. Because a child's immune system is not yet perfect, hot weather can be a factor that triggers disease, \n\n What are the illnesses caused by hot weather in children: \n\n 1. Dengue fever \n\n The transition from the rainy season to the transition season is the most vulnerable time for dengue fever. Because dengue mosquitoes breed in the rainy season by laying eggs in places that are flooded with water. \n\n The transition from the rainy season to the transition season is the time when dengue fever mosquitoes reach adulthood and transmit the dengue virus to humans through their bites. It turns out that during the transition from rainy season to summer you need to be wary of Dengue Fever mosquitoes. \n\n 2. Cough and cold \n\n Coughs and colds in children are synonymous with the rainy season. However, this does not mean that this condition cannot occur in children when hot weather arrives. \n\n Children are susceptible to coughing and colds in hot weather because high temperatures and dry air can cause irritation of the respiratory tract. The risk of coughs and colds getting worse because exposure to air pollution and dusty places triggers coughs and colds. \n\n 3. Skin disease \n\n Itching due to allergies and sunburn can also occur in children during hot weather. Dry skin conditions are easier to itch and scratch, resulting in wounds appearing which make it easier for germs to infiltrate and cause infection. \n\n 4. Dehydration and heatstroke \n\n Hot weather definitely makes it easier to experience dehydration or lack of fluids. Because what Friends of Hermina Bitung need to know is that high temperatures and dry air make body fluids evaporate more quickly through the skin pores. \n\n Hot weather can also cause heatstroke, especially if children are outside the house for too long. Hermina's friends can take precautions such as: \n\n • Wear clothes that are loose, light colored and made from light materials when you want to leave the house. \n\n • Wear a hat with a wide brim. \n\n • Apply sunscreen to the skin with an SPF of at least 30. \n\n • Adequate fluid intake to keep the body hydrated \n\n • Avoid strenuous outdoor activities when the weather is hot. \n\n Consult Hermina Bitung Hospital with Pediatrician Dr. Irene Arini, SpA if you experience illness due to hot weather. \n\n \n\n \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>

Be alert, this is the cause of premature birth<\/a><\/h3>
Premature babies are babies born before reaching 37 weeks of gestation. Typically, pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. Babies born before 28 weeks are considered extreme premature babies, while those born between 28 and 37 weeks are called moderate to mild premature babies. Every year, millions of babies around the world are born prematurely, and the success rate of their treatment continues to increase. \n\n Why Are Premature Babies Born? \n\n \n There are many reasons why a premature baby may be born, including: \n Infection or disease in the mother, disease or infection such as diabetes or preeclampsia in the mother can cause premature birth. \n Pregnancy history, If the mother has previously given birth prematurely or has cervical abnormalities, the risk of premature birth will increase. \n Obesity or malnutrition, being too thin or too fat during pregnancy can also increase the risk of premature birth. \n Multiple Pregnancies, multiple pregnancies or higher have a greater risk of premature birth. \n Smoking and Drugs, consumption of cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs during pregnancy can increase the risk of premature birth. \n \n\n Signs that a baby will be born prematurely may include: \n\n \n Regular and painful uterine contractions. \n Changes in vaginal fluids, such as excessive vaginal discharge or bleeding. \n Pressure in the lower abdomen. \n Constant back pain. \n Premature rupture of amniotic fluid (premature rupture of membranes). \n \n\n The diagnosis of premature pregnancy is often based on clinical symptoms and the results of a physical examination by medical personnel. Additionally, an ultrasound examination can help determine gestational age and see whether the cervix has begun to shorten, which is a sign of premature pregnancy. \n\n Premature babies often face serious physical and medical challenges. Their organ systems may not be fully developed, so they require intensive care in a neonatal care unit (NICU). In the NICU, premature babies can receive breathing assistance, special care, and the nutrition they need to grow and develop. Hermina Purwokerto Hospital is a hospital that has NICU care facilities for premature babies and pediatric. \n\n To make it easier to access services & registration at Hermina Purwokerto Hospital, here's how: \n\n \n Download the mobile application on Playstore (Type Halo Hermina) \n Contact Call Center 1500488 \n Through the website -> www.herminahospitals.com \n Through the Halodoc application \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Scalling, Is that important ? <\/a><\/h3>
What is tooth scaling? \nScaling is a procedure to clean or remove tartar (mineralized dental plaque) that sticks to the tooth surface. Tartar and dental plaque contain lots of bacteria that can cause infections in the surrounding tissue. You can do regular scaling to protect healthy teeth and tooth-supporting tissues (gums and bones) from periodontal disease. Chronic periodontal disease is a disease caused by an infection by bacteria that causes inflammation of the periodontal tissue supporting the teeth. With unhealthy tooth support tissue, teeth are easy to shake or fall out. \nThe scaling procedure is often accompanied by a root planing or deep cleaning procedure. Scaling aims to remove tartar from the visible surface of the teeth, while root planning removes tartar at the roots of the teeth, which are located below the gums. \n\n What is the purpose of scaling? \n\n The scaling process has several objectives, namely: \n\n 1. Remove tartar. \n\n 2. Remove plaque in areas that toothbrushes cannot reach. \n\n 3. Prevent dental disease. \n\n 4. Preventing periodontal disease by preventing or eliminating the formation of gum pockets (gum pockets are formed when plaque and coral buildup continuously, causing the gums to lose good attachment to the teeth). The deeper the pocket, the more severe the gum disease. \n\n What are the benefits of scaling? \n\n Overall, the benefits of scaling include cleaning teeth and preventing various dental diseases. The benefits of scaling are more pronounced for people with chronic periodontal disease. Even scaling is a mandatory treatment for patients with a history of the disease. \n\n Scaling can repair damaged attachments between teeth and gums and eliminate pockets that form between teeth and gums, thereby reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth and bone loss. Regular scaling is especially important for people who have disease or are at high risk of developing periodontal disease. If you have severe tooth decay, smoke, or have diabetes, scaling can reduce the risk of developing dental problems. \n\n When to scale? \n\n Dentists often recommend scaling and root planing if you have signs of chronic periodontal disease. Signs of chronic periodontal disease include bad breath, loose teeth, swollen, red, painful gums, and bleeding easily. \n\n Chronic periodontal disease occurs when bacteria in plaque cause inflammation of the gums around the teeth, damaging the gum attachment. When left continuously, it can cause pockets to form between the teeth and gums. Inflammation that affects the gums can get worse and damage the bones around the teeth, so that the previously formed pockets become bigger and deeper. As a result, more bacteria multiply there, which cannot be eliminated simply by brushing your teeth. \n\n If left untreated, chronic periodontal disease can cause: \n\n 1. Loss of dental bone tissue \n2. Loss of teeth due to loose teeth \n\n Some things that can increase the risk of chronic periodontal disease are : \n\n 1. Poor oral hygiene \n2. Smoke. \n3. Aging. \n4. Hormonal changes. \n5. Malnutrition \n6. other medical conditions. \n\n Tartar that is not cleaned can cause various problems. How often scaling is done depends on the oral hygiene conditions of each person. This dental treatment should be done every six months. However, for people with a higher tendency to accumulate plaque and tartar, it's a good idea to clean tartar every two to four months. So check the condition of your teeth and consult your dentist about it. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Facts About Skin Asthma or Atopic Dermatitis You Need to Know<\/a><\/h3>
Maybe Hermina's friends are familiar with asthma for breathing, but what about skin asthma? This term is not yet well known by the public because the term eczema or atopic dermatitis is more often used for this type of skin disease. \n\n The incidence of atopic dermatitis is increasing, especially in children. Therefore, it is very important to know everything about this one skin disease. Check out the full review below : \n\n \n\n What is skin asthma ? \n\n Actually, this disease is no different from atopic dermatitis, which is a condition that makes the skin dry, itchy, and inflamed. The term skin asthma first appeared because atopic dermatitis and asthma in sufferers are usually interrelated. \n\n As many as 50% of people with asthma have severe eczema; this is related to the body's immune response. Both of these diseases, asthma and eczema, arise due to an exaggerated immune response to allergens, resulting in inflammation of the respiratory tract or skin. \n\n \n\n Facts About Skin Asthma \n\n There are many assumptions or myths about skin asthma circulating in society that are sometimes confusing. Therefore, it is very important to know the real facts so as not to misunderstand. These are the facts that need to be understood: \n\n \n \n Not Contagious \n \n \n\n Many think that this disease can be transmitted from one person to another. However, the fact is that atopic dermatitis is not a disease caused by bacteria or viruses, so it cannot be transmitted. This disease is a symptom that appears due to a problem with the body's immune response. \n\n \n \n Can be suffered for life. \n \n \n\n Another fact that must be known is that this disease can last a lifetime. The reason is that this disease is influenced by the body's immunity and genetics, so it will not go away but can come and go by itself. When immunity is good, it will disappear and recur when immunity drops. \n\n \n \n Detergents can trigger dermatitis. \n \n \n\n Atopic dermatitis can also be caused by an excessive allergic reaction to foreign objects from outside, one of which is detergent. The skin of atopic dermatitis sufferers can suddenly become irritated and red when exposed to the detergent used to wash the clothes they are wearing. \n\n \n \n Decreasing Disease \n \n \n\n It was mentioned above that atopic dermatitis is a disease related to genes, so it is highly likely that it will be inherited. For parents who have a history of allergies, 80% of their children will experience the same thing. Whereas for parents without a history of allergies, the possibility that their child will still be allergic is only 20%. \n\n \n \n Untreatable \n \n \n\n Basically, the treatment of skin asthma or atopic dermatitis is just dealing with the symptoms. The doctor will give medicine to relieve itching, redness, and pain, if any. Meanwhile, the cause itself is unknown, so doctors cannot treat the cause directly. \n\n \n\n Tips for Overcoming Skin Asthma \n\n After knowing the facts, Friends of Hermina can better understand how to deal with this disease so it doesn't get worse. Apart from going to the doctor, friends of Hermina can follow the tips below : \n\n \n \n Get enough rest and avoid stress \n \n \n\n It is known that atopic dermatitis is a disease related to the immune system. So the way to deal with it is, of course, by seeking to increase your body's immune system. By avoiding stress and getting enough rest, it will boost the immune system, so it will prevent atopic dermatitis. \n\n \n \n Regular Sports \n \n \n\n Exercise is very good for health and effective in warding off various kinds of diseases. In the case of skin asthma, exercise is needed to maintain body resistance so that immunity rises and it is not easy to experience allergic reactions. \n\n \n \n Consumption of Hypoallergenic Foods \n \n \n\n One of the triggers of atopic dermatitis is an allergy to a food, so the body shows an allergic reaction. Therefore, it would be better if you avoided foods that have the potential to cause allergies, such as eggs, chicken, and seafood. Choose foods that are hypoallergenic (do not cause allergies). \n\n \n \n Keep clean \n \n \n\n Eczema or atopic dermatitis can appear as a result of the body's reaction to foreign objects such as dust, cat hair, or invisible germs. Therefore, to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions, it would be better if you always maintained the cleanliness of your body and place of residence. \n\n \n \n Wear soft clothing \n \n \n\n People with very sensitive skin really have to take care of everything that comes into contact with their skin, especially clothes. In order not to irritate it, choose clothes that are made of soft materials so that they do not irritate the skin, which can result in an itchy reaction and atopic dermatitis. \n\n Understanding the facts about skin asthma will help Friends of Hermina recognize this disease so that it is not handled wrongly. Apart from that, following the tips above will also help Friends of Hermina overcome this notorious skin disease. \n\n Maintaining health is very important. So never underestimate a disease that you suffer from because it can be fatal if not treated immediately. Even though it looks like a skin disease, if left alone, skin asthma can also cause severe inflammation. Immediately consult a skin specialist at the nearest Hermina Hospital or consult online through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At What Age is a Child Said to Experience Speech Delay ?<\/a><\/h3>
Who here still thinks that a child who rarely talks looks cool? Friends of Hermina, don't get me wrong. Yes a child who rarely speaks may not be because of his quiet nature, but it could be because the child has difficulty expressing what he wants to convey. \n\n The ability to speak is one of the basic abilities that must be considered by parents because speaking skills in children will be one of their main assets in communicating with the people around them. \n\n \n\n What is Speech Delay? \n\n Speech delay is a condition experienced by children that causes them to experience speech and language delays. In this case, the child has difficulty conveying his thoughts properly, so that every word is difficult to understand. Children who experience delays in speaking are able to pronounce words; it's just that they have difficulty connecting them, so in this condition, parents have difficulty understanding the words. \n\n In general, children at the age of 2 years are able to master about 25–50 vocabulary words and combine 2 words into a sentence, while children aged 3 years are able to arrange 3–4 words into complete sentences. \n\n \n\n Causes of Speech Delay \n\n There are several factors that can cause speech delay, including: \n\n \n There is hearing loss. \n Less Stimulation \n Disorders of the mouth organs (cleft lip, short folds under the tongue) \n Has a history of seizures, head trauma, and inflammation of the brain \n Autism \n Too many playing gadgets \n There is an ear infection. \n Bilingual environment (multiple languages) \n \n\n \n\n Signs of Speech Delay \n\n \n Age 0–6 months : baby does not turn when called; no babbling (bababa, papapa, dadada) \n Age 6–12 months : lack of expression on the baby's face; the baby does not point with a finger at 12 months. \n Age 12–18 months : there are no meaningful words for babies aged 16 months (every word spoken is difficult to understand). \n Age 18–24 months: There are no two-word sentences that can be understood when spoken by a child. \n \n\n \n\n Handling Speech Delays \n\n \n Often invite children to communicate. \n Respond when the child speaks. \n Limit the use of gadgets. \n Help children understand the names of objects around them. \n \n\n If Hermina's Friends find signs of speech delay, then immediately consult with the nearest Specialist doctor. Proper and fast treatment will make it easier for children to get therapy. Friends of Hermina can do online consultations with Specialist Doctors at Hermina Hospital through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tonsillitis Infection, Should You Operate?<\/a><\/h3>
Tonsillitis infection or commonly known as tonsillitis is a condition when the tonsils become infected or inflamed. This event is generally experienced by children aged 3-7 years. Even so, tonsillitis can also occur in adults. Tonsils or are lymph nodes in the throat that function as the body's defense to prevent infection, especially in children. However, as you get older and your immune system becomes stronger, the function of the tonsils begins to be replaced and their size will slowly decrease. \n\n Causes of Tonsillitis Infection \n\n 1. Viruses and bacteria \nSeveral viruses cause tonsils such as Influenza, Adenovirus, Epstein-Barr Virus and bacteria such as Streptococcus Pyogenes. \n2. Environment \nDust or mites that stick to the inhaled mattress can trigger allergies that enter through the nose and cause sore throat. \n3. Food \nFoods that contain a lot of MSG, oily foods and spicy foods if consumed too often can also cause throat infections due to increased stomach acid and stomach acid rising up into the throat. \n\n Tonsillitis Symptoms \n\n Some things to watch out for as symptoms of tonsillitis are as follows: \n\n \n Sore throat \n Swelling and redness of the tonsils \n Pain when swallowing \n Fever \n Headache \n The voice becomes hoarse \n Swollen lymph nodes in the neck \n Tonsillitis often shows symptoms such as decreased appetite and frequent drowsiness in pediatric patients. \n \n\n How to treat tonsillitis is generally enough to use drugs. Usually the doctor will prescribe antibiotics if the tonsil infection is caused by bacteria. When taking antibiotics, make sure to finish them even if the condition has improved or fully recovered. As a way to relieve tonsillitis, the doctor will advise the patient to rest and do home care, such as: \n\n \n Increase consumption of water. \n Eat soft foods. \n Use a humidifier. \n Avoid cigarette smoke, dust and air pollution. \n \n\n In some conditions, infection of the tonsils cannot be underestimated and it is necessary to remove the tonsils by surgery or it is called a tonsillectomy. So, under what conditions does tonsillectomy or tonsillectomy be required? \n\n 1. The child's respiratory tract is obstructed \n\n Large tonsils can cause children to experience breathing problems during sleep which is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) which makes them snore during sleep at night. This condition is accompanied by breathing that stops during sleep and then wakes up frequently. OSAS makes children lack oxygen supply so that they become weak and sleepy at school. If left unchecked, it can interfere with the achievement and development of children. \n\n 2. Difficulty swallowing food \n\n Swelling of the tonsils can also block the passage of food into the esophagus, making it difficult to swallow. As a result, decreased appetite and reduced nutrient intake. \n\n 3. Recurrent tonsillitis \n\n If tonsillitis recurs with adequate/maximum treatment or is accompanied by febrile seizures. \n\n Hermina friends who experience the above symptoms can consult with an THT specialist at Hermina Pandanaran Hospital. \n\n \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.

Exclusive Breastfeeding For Increase the Little One's Body Resistance<\/a><\/h3>
Do you know Mother? Breast milk is one of the gifts given by God to increase the immune system of the Little One. Babies who are breastfed at birth are known to have a lower risk of going to hospital than babies who are not breastfed. This is because breast milk can protect your little one right after he is born. \n\n The first milk that comes out is yellowish in color. Sometimes there are some mothers who throw away the milk because it is yellow in color and think that the milk is not good. In fact, the first breast milk that comes out is colostrum or which contains antibodies to strengthen the little one's body's resistance to fighting infection. These antibodies are very important so that your little one's immune system can work perfectly. \n\n In the content of breast milk there are many cells, especially in the first weeks of breastfeeding. Colostrum and first milk contain 1-3 million white blood cells (leukocytes) per ml. In mature breast milk, namely breast milk after 2-3 months of breastfeeding, the number of these cells decreases to 1000 cells per ml consisting of monocytes/macrophages (59-63%), neutrophil cells (18-23%), and lymphocyte cells (7- 13%) breast milk also contains protective (protective) factors that dissolve in breast milk such as lysozyme enzymes, lactoferrin (as iron binders), cytokines (substances produced by immune cells to influence other cell functions), and proteins that can bind vitamin B12, bifidus factor, enzymes, and antioxidants. \n\n Given that there are so many cells that can boost your little one's immunity, you must always be enthusiastic about giving exclusive breastfeeding. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of your little one's life. Breast milk is the only food source that can be consumed by the Little One. Furthermore, your little one can be given complementary food while still being given breast milk until he is 2 years old. \n\n So How is the mother being away from the baby? Maybe the mother is working, traveling or the mother is sick and is being cared for separately by the baby? \n\n Don't worry mother, mother must remain enthusiastic in pumping breast milk. Mothers can continue to pump breast milk every 3 hours so that breast milk can continue to produce properly. The more often the mother pumps breast milk, the more milk production that comes out. \n\n Mothers can pump breast milk and put breast milk in bottles or breast milk bags. The quality of breast milk will remain the same, whether stored in the refrigerator or breast milk given directly to the baby, as long as the storage is correct and according to the recommended storage standards. \n\n How to properly store breast milk? \n\n \n For storage at room temperature, breast milk that has been pumped and placed in a container will last for approximately 8 hours. \n Expressed breast milk lasts up to 24 hours when stored in a cooler box added with an ice pack \n Expressed breast milk lasts up to 5 days, when placed in the refrigerator section of the refrigerator with a minimum temperature of 4°C \n Expressed breast milk lasts up to 6 months in the freezer at 18°C below the freezing point of 0°C (-18°C). Cold temperatures can increase the antimicrobial function of breast milk and inhibit the activity of microbial growth that damages breast milk. \n \n\n It's so easy to store breast milk that has been expressed, isn't it Mother? Keep the spirit in loving. Hopefully the little one is always healthy mother. If there are complaints about your little one's health, immediately check his health with the pediatrician at RSU Hermina Medan. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
