When influenza occurs continuously, then it could be early signs of the emergence of sinusitis. Whatever the cause, if left unchecked will flu can be fatal from sinusitis to asthma.

Flu is a viral infection that almost everyone has experienced it, including us and the kids.

Causes of Sinusitis.
Actually influenza illness during the course of relatively limited. Therefore, the human immune system is able to overcome the virus that causes the flu, or it may be said that in fact this disease can be cured by itself.

But it must be remembered, at the time suffering from the flu, the first solution that must be done is to get enough rest and if necessary isolate yourself so that others are not infected and do not arise secondary infections caused by bacteria.
From this flu that can cause sinusitis disease.

Another cause is due to a prolonged influenza virus, making continuous runny nose area so that germs or viruses easily nested. Eventually there will be swelling in the nasal cavity, so that the mucus in the sinuses can not get out.
In fact, the sinus should be clean and sterile so that the air in it can be in and out smoothly.

Allergy influence.
Sinusitis is also experienced by vulnerable people who have allergies talent. Therefore, if the roots of the sinuses are very close to the roots of the teeth, then the germ is easy to move.
Adenoids are located just behind the nose is actually functioning as a defense to filter bacteria or virus that enters the body. but if adenoidnya too large, it will inhibit secretion (sputum) from the mouth of the sinus.

The result, if the estuary is closed by the adenoid, mucus can not go out and air can not spin well. As a result, will continue runny nose and germs easily grow.


Asthma affects.
Another sign that the flu is leading to sinusitis are headache, nasal congestion and the presence of mucus flow in the throat or post nasal drip.
Dizziness occurred because air can flow smoothly should be hampered because of swelling in the nasal cavity or infection of the adenoid.

While nasal congestion, caused by excessive mucus production due to allergies, plus a narrowing of the nasal cavity due to swelling. Finally, mucus can not but go out through the nose to the throat.
Not surprisingly, sinusitis sufferers often feel his throat contains mucus. When this condition is kept muted and the cause is allergy sinus, likely will occur asthma, because the throat which was originally to function properly can be disrupted by a continuous mucus in the throat.

Drugs and surgery.
Prior to treatment, would be helpful to know in advance the cause of the illness.
If the cause of allergies, we should avoid it (the cause of allergy), because if only the sinuses are treated and not sought out the causes of allergy, later sinusitisnya will definitely come back.

When the cause infection of the nasal cavity, the infection is what will be eliminated by antibiotics, to kill germs or bacteria and decongestan, to relieve the respiratory tract.

If after all this time sinusitisnya do not heal, a doctor may perform fisioteraphy UKG and inhalation, if necessary x-rays to see the cause, because of it will be seen clearly if adenoidnya is really annoying or not.

Unfortunately, when pneumonia overwrite newborns, the consequences could be very fatal if not immediately treated. The reason, according to the WHO website, pneumonia or pneumonia is a major cause of death in children worldwide.

Similar symptoms Colds.
Toddlers with low immunity are still not familiar with viruses or bacteria that enter the body. Therefore, if there is a virus that enters the body, the immune bodies do not recognize the virus, the result can lead to lower respiratory tract infections.

In fact, the disease is dangerous because it can cause death in children because the lungs can not perform its function to get oxygen to the body.

Many parents still do not understand the condition of her son who was stricken with pneumonia and its effects.
Germs that cause pneumonia can be a bacteria or virus that reaches the lungs in various ways. For example, germs in dirty air and then inhaled through the nose and throat into the lungs and eventually cause an infection. In addition, the newborn is the most vulnerable groups and susceptible of contracting pneumonia from the birth mother through the streets during the birth process.

In addition to infants, children with low immune systems also include vulnerable groups affected by pneumonia.

Recognize Characteristics by Rhythm Breath Counting.
The easiest way to recognize if a child stricken with pneumonia is to count his breath in a minute.
1. Characteristics of children whose age is less than 2 months, when stricken with pneumonia is the breathing faster than 60 times per minute.
2. If age 2-12 months, then his breathing faster than 50 times per minute.

Which must be known, milk is just one nutritional supplement, not substitute for food. Therefore, when a child is less intake of food, milk is not only by providing the right solution.

The emergence of infant formula information berbakteri bebarap time ago, could make parents confused in choosing the best milk for her baby. The first thing to note is do not make susuformula as a substitute for breast milk, but as the ASI. Thus, child nutrition depends not only on infant formula, but on the quality of breast milk.

For the provision of early, give formula with nutrient intake that is not too complex, because the baby is getting nutrition from breast milk and complementary foods. • You also must consider the quality of her breast milk, by consuming foods with balanced nutrition.

Adjust Age.
The first thing to be a concern in choosing infant formula is the rate of infant age. Adjust the age of infants who are generally divided into 2 types, 0-6 months and 6-12 months of follow-up milk or formula.
In general, infants 0-6 months, the digestive system is not perfect. While the age of 6 months, the majority is starting to improve and even already being given extra food. With differences and problems, nutrient content in susuformula for both age groups were also adjusted.

The second thing to note is that there are three types of infant formula when viewed from the level of infants allergic to milk formula.

Three types are:
  1. Formula Ordinary.
  2. Soy Milk.
  3. Milk Elemental.
If your child when tested in one formula that became our choice and no problems like allergies, it can be argued that the small s can consume milk formula made from cow's milk and has added various nutrients (fortification) to approximate the nutritional characteristics Breastfeeding and infant nutrition adequacy rate.

If your child having problems with regular milk formula, in general, your doctor will advise us to use formula milk made from soybeans. It occurs in infants who are allergic to cow's milk fat. Soy milk has a lower fat content and lower biological value, so more time to absorb the body.

But if your child is still too problematic to formuila regular milk (cow's milk), or formula milk from soybeans, then the doctor will usually advise you to use elemental milk or formula milk casein hydrolysis. This milk is basically the formula milk fat content is reduced, but other nutrients are propagated.

Dairy Food Not Substitute.
In children who ate less, usually more likely to directly given milk as a substitute. It tertsebut is not recommended because children under five should be given food that should be more varied in shape, taste and ingredients.
Various brands of infant milk sold in the market about the same composition, and most only vary in flavor.

The composition of milk that must be met in toddlers are:
  1. Protein should be high.
  2. Calcium.
  3. Fat balanced with proteins.
  4. Karbihidrat.
  5. Vitamins and minerals.
Sweetened Condensed Milk.
There are parents who give babies sweetened condensed milk as a food supplement. Though milk is not sweetened condensed milk for toddlers, sweetened condensed milk is higher in carbohydrates and less protein and calcium content, let alone make sweetened condensed milk as a substitute for food.

Disease is easily spread and attack especially in the upper respiratory tract. Transmission usually occurs through splashing saliva of people who carry germs to others who are healthy. In addition, the disease can also spread by contaminated objects or foods.

Diphtheria is caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a bacterium that does not move and do not form spores. The main symptoms of diphtheria is the membrane formed by a thin layer of grayish-white color that arise, especially in the nasal mucosa, mouth until the throat.

Symptoms of  Diphtheria
Symptoms of this disease began to occur within 1-4 days after infection.
The first sign of diphtheria is a sore throat, fever and symptoms that resemble the common cold. Bacteria will proliferate in the body and release toxins or poisons that can spread throughout the body. Bekteri even this can make people become very weak.

Whenever diphtheria is getting worse, the throat becomes swollen, causing the patient became short of breath. Even more dangerous anymore, can also close the road completely respiratory. Diphtheria can also cause inflammation of the heart wrapping so that patients can die suddenly. These symptoms are caused by a toxin produced by diphtheria bacteria.

If not promptly treated, toxins produced by these germs can cause an inflammatory reaction in the upper respiratory tract tissues so that the tissue cells may die.
Malicious attacks are on the incubation period of 1 to 5 days. In this phase, the nasopharynx can cause infections that cause breathing difficulties and death. The main cause is inflammation of the membranes of the upper respiratory tract, plus a thorough damage to all organs.

Babies born to mothers who are immune will get passive immunity, but it will not be more than 6 months and at the age of 1 year immunologically depleted altogether. Every child who recover from diphtheria disease does not always have a lasting immunity. At best, actively acquired immunity by immunization.
