Sama halnya dengan penyakit lain akibat infeksi virus, the best treatment adalah waktu, istirahat, asupan nutrisi bergizi dan banyak minum. Pasti nggak mudah, karena saat menderita gondongan anak akan sulit untuk menelan, bicara atau mengunyah. Di artikel tsb. dianjurkan untuk menghindari jenis jus atau makanan asam agar produksi ludah tidak semakin banyak dan membuat anak sakit karena harus sering menelan. > > Tidak ada obat yang bisa menyembuhkan atau mempercepat kesembuhan anak dari gondongan. Jika memang gondongan ini disertai demam tinggi, obat penurun panas bisa diberikan agar suhu tubuh tidak menjadi lebih tinggi dan anak jadi nyaman. Dari info lain yang pernah saya baca, pengobatan tradisional dengan menggunakan larutan biru belau/blau (spell??) belum ada penjelasan tentang mekanisme kerja zat tsb. walau ada beberapa kasus 'sembuh' dengan cara ini. Kemungkinan besar, pengobatan ini semacam efek placebo, bukan karena zat tsb. tapi memang gondongannya sendiri yang sudah waktunya sembuh (note: penyakit karena infeksi virus bersifat self-limiting disease alias akan sembuh dengan sendirinya seiring menguatnya daya tahan tubuh - contohnya: sakit flu/batuk yang 'sembuh' setelah minum antibiotik, padahal memang sudah waktunya sembuh dari virus flu/batuk dan antibiotiknya tidak 'membasmi' apa-apa dalam tubuh bahkan malah berefek merugikan). > > Penularan gondongan bisa terjadi dari kontak langsung dengan penderita (mis. percikan ludah penderita saat batuk/bersin/berbicara, alat makan yang digunakan bersama-sama, dll.). Seperti ciri khas infeksi virus lain, masa penularan itu bisa berlangsung dari penderita yang bahkan belum menunjukkan gejala gondongan dan bisa terus berlangsung hingga beberapa waktu setelah penderita 'sembuh' dari gondongan. Itu sebabnya, kadang anak tiba-tiba kena 'gondongan' tanpa tahu pasti kapan tertularnya. > > Jika memang anak sudah terserang gondongan, yang bisa dilakukan orang tua adalah observasi ketat dan waspada dengan komplikasi gondongan yang bisa menyerang anak laki-laki (orchitis yang menyerang testikel anak dan bisa berakibat kemandulan) dan anak perempuan (gangguan pada indung telurnya), juga resiko hilang pendengaran dan meningitis (radang otak). > > Itu sebabnya cara paling aman dan nyaman untuk terhindar dari problem gondongan adalah dengan tindakan pencegahan alias imunisasi MMR tepat waktu. > > Cheers, > > Sylvia - Jovan's mum > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- > > > > MUMPS > > Mayo Clinic Staff (www.mayoclinic.com) > > > > OVERVIEW > > Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the parotid-glands - one of three pairs of salivary glands, located below and in front of your ears. If you or your child contracts mumps, it can cause swelling in one or both parotid glands. > > However, your odds of contracting mumps aren't very high. Mumps was common until the mumps vaccine was licensed in 1967. Before the vaccine, up to 200,000 cases of mumps occurred each year in the US. Since then, the number of cases has dropped dramatically, so there are now fewer than 300 cases a year. > > Mumps is still a common disease in many parts of the world, though, so prevention is important. > > > > SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS > > About one-third of people infected with the mumps virus have no signs or symptoms. When signs and symptoms do develop, they usually appear about two to three weeks after exposure to the virus and may include: > > · Swollen, painful salivary glands on one or both sides of the face > > · Pain with chewing or swallowing > > · Fever > > · Weakness and fatigue > > · Tenderness and swelling of a testicle (orchitis) > > · The primary - and best known - sign of mumps is swollen salivary glands that cause the cheeks to puff out. In fact, the term mumps is an old expression for lumps or bumps within the cheeks. > > > > CAUSES > > The cause of mumps is the mumps virus, which spreads easily from person to person through infected saliva. If you're not immune, you can contract mumps by breathing in saliva droplets of an infected person who has just sneezed or coughed. You can also contract mumps from sharing utensils or cups with someone who has mumps. > > > > WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE > > If you suspect that you or your child has mumps, see your doctor. Mumps has become an uncommon illness, so it's possible that your symptoms are caused by another more common condition. Swollen glands and a fever could be an indication of inflamed tonsils (tonsillitis) or a blocked salivary gland. Other, rarer viruses can infect the parotid glands, causing a mumps-like illness. > > > > SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS > > If your doctor suspects that you or your child has mumps, a virus culture or serologic blood test may be needed. This blood test can detect mumps antibodies, which indicate whether you have had a recent or past infection. > > > > COMPLICATIONS > > Complications of mumps are potentially serious, but rare. These include: > > · Orchitis. This inflammatory condition causes swelling of one or both testicles. Orchitis is painful, but it rarely leads to sterility - the inability to conceive a child. > > · Pancreatitis. This disease causes swelling of the pancreas. Signs and symptoms of pancreatitis include pain in the upper abdomen, nausea and vomiting. > > · Encephalitis. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain caused by a viral infection, such as mumps. Encephalitis can lead to neurologic problems and become life-threatening. Although it's serious, encephalitis is a rare complication of mumps. > > · Meningitis. Meningitis is infection and inflammation of the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord. It can occur if the mumps virus spreads through your bloodstream to infect your central nervous system. Like encephalitis, meningitis is a rare complication of mumps. > > · Inflammation of the ovaries. Pain in the lower abdomen in women may be a symptom of this problem. Fertility doesn't seem to be affected. > > · Hearing loss. In rare causes, mumps can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss in one or both ears. > > If you or your child develops a complication from mumps, contact your doctor. > > > > TREATMENT > > Because mumps is caused by a virus, antibiotics are not an effective treatment. Like most viral illnesses, mumps infection must simply run its course. Fortunately, most children and adults recover from an uncomplicated case of mumps within two weeks' time. > > > > PREVENTION > > In general, you're considered immune to mumps if you've previously had the infection or if you've been immunized against mumps. > > The mumps vaccine is usually given as a combined measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) inoculation, which contains the safest and most effective form of each vaccine. Doctors recommend that children receive the MMR vaccine between 12 and 15 months of age, and again between 3 and 6 years of age - before entering school. > > > > SELF-CARE > > If you or your child has mumps, time and rest are the best treatments. There's little your doctor can do to speed recovery. But you can take some steps to ease pain and discomfort and keep others from becoming infected: > > - Rest in bed until the fever goes away > > - Isolate yourself or your child to prevent spreading the disease to others > > - Take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) to ease symptoms. Adults may also use aspirin. Don't give aspirin to children because of the risk of Reye's Syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease. > > - Use a cold compress to ease the pain of swollen glands > > - Wear an athletic supporter to ease pain of tender testicles > > - Avoid foods that require lots of chewing. Instead try broth-based soups or soft foods, such as mashed potatoes or cooked oatmeal, for nourishment. > > - Avoid sour foods such as citrus fruits or juices that stimulate saliva production > > - Drink plenty of fluids > > - Lan low-key activities > > If your child has mumps, the most important thing you can do as a parent is to watch for complications. In boys, watch especially for high fever, with pain and swelling of the testicles. In girls, abdominal pain may mean involvement of the ovaries or pancreatitis. If your child's fever is very high, contact your doctor for advice. > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > Vecky Priatna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > mau tanya seputar gondongan nih, kayaknya kok sekarang lagi musim. > 1. bagaimana pencegahannya? > 2. bagaimana pengobatannya? > 3. berapa lama masa inkubasinya? > 4. dan mungkin beberapa info lain seputar gondongan. > > <deleted> > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Make Yahoo! your home page AYO GALANG SOLIDARITAS UNTUK MEMBANTU KORBAN MUSIBAH DI ACEH & DAN SUMATERA UTARA !!! ================ Kirim bunga, http://www.indokado.com Info balita: http://www.balita-anda.com Stop berlangganan/unsubscribe dari milis ini, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peraturan milis, email ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
