Yellow Baby Handling - Doc, when going home from the hospital, my baby is otherwise yellow with bilirubin 12.8 after 2 days of Bluelight dropped to 11.9. I finally forced to return to consideration of the sun drying treatment and drinking lots of milk. To date approximately 3 weeks of age and I've never check again to see a doctor.
I'm confused about immunizations, how good you? To the pediatrician first, or directly to the clinic for immunization? Please enlightenment.
Answer:
Yellow in the newborn hyperbilirubinemia is often called, is a yellow skin due to increased bilirubin in the blood after birth. Yellow skin itself is a physiological arise when starting on the day 2-3 with a low level. However, when bilirubin reaches above 10, we need serious treatment, especially infants aged under 7 days.
The best therapy is a frequent breastfeeding, and dried in the sun under the hours of 9 am, is a pretty good step. When bilirubin is likely to increase, think about light therapy. Now your son is 3 weeks, so no need to be examined bilirubiun when the skin is not yellow.
Immunization can be anywhere. Can be in community health centers, GP practices or in the doctor's son. When the pediatrician not only do immunizations, ask child development that involves the growth of body weight, height, head circumference and social development, fine motor, gross mototik and language.

Tooth decay or dental caries is common in children aged 2 years, even teeth have not grown all, there have dental caries. Is the child's mother was taught to brush your teeth right? Whether after a toothbrush and then drink milk again?
We have to remember bahwaanak age 2 years was very happy to eat a snack and drink milk with a dot, especially before bed. Snack foods and milk will also stimulate the emergence of plaque and dental caries eventually become.
Mechanisms of dental caries incidence occurred starting with the food consumed, then the teeth are not cleaned properly so that the tooth surface plaque buildup will occur that contain acid-forming bacteria. If the incident is repeated, especially children are given milk every evening there will be a buildup of plaque, caries will ultimately arise.

Child Weight Up Down - Doc, my children aged 2 years and 3 months. Since the age of 1.5 years of a child I often cough and cold and cough and cold month for almost 2 months. Although eating and drinking as normal weight fluctuates between 12.5 to 15 kg. Is this normal or are there other indications?
Because of all this when I was sick child to stay active and not be silent. For additional information, my son had this since 1.5 years. And since the age of the child as well I always go where I go because I do not have servants. Previously rarely sick because it is rarely out of the house because it was raised by a baby sitter at home. Are allergic factors, tired, or there are other indications ya doc? Because the frequency of my child cough and cold, so subsequent immunization stopped. Please and thank you before his enlightenment.
Answer :
I was quite surprised if your son has a lot of activity, as always participating mothers go anywhere? The problem that the mother is to say there are 2 weight (12.5 to 15 kg fixed) and chronic cough (2 months).
We first discuss a weight problem. A
child must be well nourished, that is sufficient intake of food, enough
rest and also for its growth (including weight and height). Weight
loss should not fall to rise, because the child's growth, which is
always growing and getting bigger growing body function. When your weight fluctuates from 12.5 to 15 kg range is certainly no problem.
Since
the age of 1.5 years until the age of 2 years and 3 months (range 8
months) between 12.5 to 15 kg body weight is a strange event. At
the age of 1 year 5 months 12.5 kg body weight is pretty good, but when
8 months later the same weight would need to trace the cause, even
odder weight up and down. So the weight of the questions from this is: What is the food as usual? Have 3 meals a day, an amount sufficient, or only 3 bribe or a dish to eat?
Because the provision of a given number of calories per meal affects growth. Is given milk? Keep in mind food intake in children aged 2 years at least 1200 calories a day. What a good mother berkosultasi with a dietitian to food intake is not wrong.
Between 12.5 to 15 kg body weight up and down for 8 months of the possibility of weighing. Different scales used to weigh the wrong or how to create the impression of rapid weight change. Diverse types of scales. When measurements with different scales will certainly lead to different assessments. There can also be chronic diseases associated with severe and persistent chronic cough.
The second problem is the old cough (2 months). Unfortunately the mother did not explain how the cough for 2 months if not ever recover? Is it more often at night or during the day, or accompanied by fever or not. Is the cough worse when drinking the ice cream, chocolate, after playing in place velvet, or no contact with TB patients? These questions need to be clarified, to answer the cause of cough.
Causes
of coughing that much, but there are two kinds to keep in mind and is
often the case, namely cough cough due to allergy or tuberculosis. For
further handlers should be the child's mother examined the child
medicine to assess the type of cough and assess food intake during this
time, and determine the cause of cough.

Good day, mother, child birth should be healthy, not hot, and strong drink for the growth and development. What if a child is sick at birth? Naturally we look for the causes.

When we find these symptoms have to be careful. Very serious infection in infants.
The definition of sepsis is the clinical symptoms of systemic infection (infection of the blood flow and overall) with signs such as mentioned above. The cause is the presence of bacteria in the body and the body can not fight it. Factor of sepsis varies. Able to maternal factors, among others, maternal fever, infection of the birth canal, vaginal discharge, premature rupture of membranes. Infant factors may be less endurance, such as premature infants, less weight, twins. And environmental factors that cleanliness and hygiene of infant care during childbirth.

How do I dock it to have healthy children? I saw my brother's life was tough for dependents parents and my sister now age 25 years and still continues to do a transfusion.

Please explanations dock, the possibility of a child exposed to people with thalesemia thalesemia of family?
Answer :
Thalassemia is a blood disorder, including hereditary hemolytic anemia, which means a decrease anemia due to hemoglobin (Hb) Hb blood fragile and rapidly diminishing, so the child will look pale. While we know Hb binds oxygen and circulate into the bloodstream for life lasted. When hemoglobin is always low, causing disturbances of organs. In this case the child will require repeated blood transfusions to keep Hb normal.
This disease is an inherited genetic disorder outosom, that child will be affected by thalassemia, when both father and mother nature at the same carrier. Under the law of Mendel, every child born of father and mother of the nature of this disease have a chance of 25%, carrier (carrier properties) 50% and 25% healthy.
Ms. Tia So while this may sound 25% or carrier (carrier properties) 50%. We recommend that before marrying Ms. Tia and husband were both checked blood, if Hb Ms. Tia and husband are both carriers of properties. So that prevention can be done. It is not that mean the same as the nature of an arranged marriage was canceled. The goal of genetic counseling is to organize the future and what steps are taken when a child in the womb suspected thalassemia.
My child was born with a caesar, I find info that babies who are born with the disease are more vulnerable sections. What is the dock? How mengantisipiasinya? My child was breastfed exclusively?
Answer :
Thank you mother for asking. The news is not all true. But babies born with SC, it means the baby is born not through physiological birth canal, so that at birth sometimes require adjustment. Such as respiratory problems in infants SC occurs more frequently than the spontaneous birth.
TIP for us all when it is best birth through the normal channels of spontaneous birth (in addition to cheap and physiological), unless there is a barrier spontaneous birth. Breastfeeding must take precedence as the best food of infants only breast milk. Besides a lot of nutritional value, breast milk also contains antibodies and closer relationships inner child and mother.
Doc, I asked my mother to my sister in law so as not to vaccinate their babies to the candidate. This is because my mother used to watch news on television that many cases of children who do vaksinaksi actually sick. My mother said, when we were kids did not use vaccines to stay healthy.
Is it true that without vaccines the child is okay and stay healthy? Perhaps not a baby is not vaccinated? Why are there cases of babies ill after being vaccinated even terminally ill? What the vaccine expire? Actually the number of times a toddler must receive the vaccine? And that any vaccine?
Answer :
Terimakasih atas pertanyaannya. Imunisasi merupakan pemberian antibody
secara aktif, maksudnya memberikan bakteri atau virus yang lemah /mati
atau toksinnya, sehingga tubuh membuat daya tahan secara aktif.
Diharapkan saat terserang virus atau bakteri yang ganas, tubuh sudah
mempunyai antibody dan tubuh menjadi kebal terhadap penyakit tersebut.
Sampai
saat ini vaksinasi merupakan primadona untuk mencegah penyakit yang
mematikan, walaupun tidak semua penyakit ada vaksinnya. Kadang kala ada
vaksin yang mempunyai efek samping panas, sehingga orangtua kadang tak
mau memberikan vaksin pada anaknya, namun efek samping panas tersebut
sangat ringan bila dibandingkan dengan serangan penyakit itu sendiri.
Dalam
memberikan vaksin dokter atau petugas kesehatan harus memberi
penjelasan manfaat dan efek samping vaksin, dan harus jujur dalam
memberikan vaksin. Vaksin tersebut harus kondisi baik, tidak rusak atau
kadaluarsa, karena vaksin mudah rusak bila penyimpanan tidak benar.
Vaksin yang wajib tergantung daerah dan geografis suatu Negara, di
Indonesia yang wajib adalah BCG, DPT, POLIO, Hepatitis B dan campak.
