ABOUT THE EAR DISEASE

The disease is found in the ear actually is the effect of a sore throat, sinusitis, adenoid infections, and more sustainable. The distance between the channel throat, nose, and ears are short and cause the bacteria in the channel is up to the ear. Especially the mouth or ear tubes in children are still eustaschius short and wide so that it easily infected from the surrounding area.

* Acute Otitis Media (OMA)

OMA is an infection that causes inflammation of the ear drum that looks red and swollen. Complaint of ear pain. In younger children also cause symptoms of high heat. With drugs, it will heal inflammation. However, if the condition is too heavy or abscess has occurred, then pus in the middle ear need issued by piercing abscess located in the eardrum. This is called myringotomy. After that the surface of the drum could be closed again properly. If the pus out of the child's body heat will come down.

Often, OMA in children do not get caught. As soon as the fever decreases, a sudden exit of fluid from the ear of the child. Well, this means that his eardrums burst and ooze pus called congek.

* Congekan

Congekan really happened because the handling of the infection in about ENT who did not complete. If the eardrum to rupture, then the surface can not be meeting again, not just as if the pus issued by myringotomy. As a result, children no longer have a membrane that protects the ear from exposure to germs and infection that causes pus or congek it continue.

If not treated, complications can occur such further damage deaf and hearing nerves in the brain. Congekan child must abstain from swimming because if the ears take in water, can not dig. Pengorekan only add to the infection.

nose diseases

"Checking the ears, nose, and throat (ENT) must be unity for all three channels are interconnected. If there is one part of the organ affected, then the two other organs will be affected, "said dr. Cita H. Murjantyo, Sp.THT. Let's look at the doctor with an explanation of Bintaro International Hospital, Tangerang, on the various ENT diseases.

ABOUT THE NOSE DISEASES

COLOR functioning filtering impurities from the incoming air through the mucus membranes. When the mucous membranes of work is not good so there was respiratory infection. Research shows in one year, 6-8 times a child could be attacked by the disease because their immune systems immature.

Respiratory infections is actually a self-limiting disease (healed itself without treatment). But if they do not go away more than 5 days, the child should take medication. Especially with the color changes to yellow snot is green, plus a fever of about 38.5 degrees Celsius. This means that the infection had spread so that if ignored may become chronic.

* Sinusitis

As a result of respiratory infections, such as a prolonged flu, then the 6-13 per cent could be an infection in the sinus area / cavities around the nose. Symptoms of bacterial infections caused by this form of obstruction in the nose, runny nose and cough out again. When you are able to acute with fever, halitosis, headache, sometimes there is interference in the eye (feels heavy and sore). Why is there a complaint on the eyes? This is related to the anatomy around the nose that has 4 pairs of paranasal sinuses (located near the nose), which maksila sinus in the cheeks, forehead frontal sinus, sinus etmoid near the eye, and behind the sinus sinus etmoid there sfenoid. Well, there was sinus in children is the sine etmoid near maksila eyes and around cheeks. While sinus in other areas like the forehead and sinuses etmoid behind sfenoid undeveloped.

If sinusitis becomes chronic recurrent colds coughs. For example, the child has a cold cough for 3 months. After he recovered, but was soon back colds.

Healing efforts by providing medicine for 10-14 days, and physiotherapy. It seemed a long treatment, the goal that no remaining symptoms. If left untreated, sinusitis can continue to suffer until adulthood.

Feared complication of sinusitis is a sino-bronchitis because of the mucus that flows will continue into the lungs. Sometimes complications such parents do not realize that the treatment given to children confined to overcome cough, not sinusitisnya. As a result, the coughing will not heal chronic cough or recurrent happen.

Sinus in order not to be more severe, the child needs to do a few restrictions:

1. Avoid cold drinks because of the cold will make sinus tract to swell.
2. Not recommended to swim for fear of local trauma, as conceded that the pool water can irritate the nose.
3. Avoid cigarette smoke because it can cause nasal irritation children. Dust and pollution can also make sinusnya cavity swelling.

If sinusitis does not go away, then it happened blockage. Treatment given must be appropriate, such as giving antibiotics and several drugs that aim to help process these antibiotics work. Other drugs, such as decongestants, antihistamines, mukolitik / destroyer of mucus, and even spray or nose drops can also be provided.

If treatment has not shown significant results, the operation will be done. The goal is to eliminate factors that cause and improve drainage (discharge constant) and sinus ventilation. Surgery is often performed in children and generally is sometimes necessary adenoidektomi sinus wash is full of mucus. Appointment of adenoid (tonsil in the back of the nasal cavity) or pengerokan done with adenoid curette. The purpose of this action to remove the blockage and the source of infection.

According Prof.Dr.Ir. Made Astawan, food technologists and nutrition of IPB in various nutrition content of his book Food, pesticide residues are often still left in the vegetables until several days after spraying, especially during drought because farmers should not harvest the vegetables after spraying pesticides.

The washing process is not perfect vegetables also need to be wary of. Because some chemicals in pesticides that can not be lost even if washed. Therefore, washing vegetables and fruits in water flows. Especially for Lalapan raw, more safe for washing Lalapan with boiled water to avoid bacteria that cause infections.

In addition to pesticides, also watch out for dangerous bacteria contamination, especially vegetables spread on the ground or close to the ground ketinggiaannya. To improve soil fertility, farmers often use organic fertilizers in the form of humus or manure (and even human excrement).

Examples of pathogenic bacteria from feces is Eschericia coli can cause diarrhea, Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi cause typhoid fever. Salmonella can also cause stomach upset, with symptoms of diarrhea, headache, vomiting, and fever.

Several types of foodstuffs containing natural toxic compounds, such as saponins in soybean, peanut, spinach, and asparagus, goitrogen (cabbage and radish), cyanide (cassava leaves), solanine (potatoes), and others. These toxic compounds can only be eliminated through the process of washing and cooking with the right temperature.

Although so far not reported any cases of poisoning or the person who died of consuming raw Lalapan, but it's worth paying more attention to our intake of food security. If you include Lalapan lovers, perhaps you can begin to plant crops used for Lalapan in the yard or in pots. Thus, we know exactly the vegetables are free of pesticides and bacterial contamination or human feces.
