Pollution in Jakarta causes child to be hospitalized: A mother’s story

Jakarta –

Not long ago, a video went viral showing a mother’s complaint regarding the condition of her child who had to be hospitalized, called the impact of pollution in DKI Jakarta.

In the video, which has been watched more than 900 thousand times, it can be seen that the baby has a cough and runny nose and has to be hospitalized because he complains of shortness of breath.

“At first Hanan only had a cold and it ended in shortness of breath and had to be treated,” said the mother via her personal TikTok account, quoted by detikcom with the permission of the person concerned.

He admitted that the first time he brought his son, Hanan, to the hospital when he had a high fever. As a result, children cannot sleep well every night.

“Take him to the hospital because he has a high fever and is fussy every night and can’t sleep. Hanan had to be hospitalized because the doctor said he had shortness of breath,” wrote the TikTok account @allahazzawajalaa.

“Hanan’s breath is 60 per 1 minute. The normal 40 said the pediatrician (DSA),” he continued.

After 3 days of treatment at the hospital, Hanan then took various medications and treatments. Starting from physiotherapy, light therapy, to massage to remove phlegm and mucus from her tiny body.

“It’s been 3 days since Hanan was treated but she still has a cough and runny nose. Finally, Hanan has physiotherapy, irradiation, and massage. The aim of physiotherapy is so that the phlegm can come out. This is massaged while patting her back,” he continued,

He also emphasized the dangers of the flu in children which cannot be taken lightly. The reason is, babies cannot yet secrete mucus in their noses and phlegm.

“It’s really sad when I see a child this small having to feel the IV needle. Flu is trivial for adults but it’s very painful for babies who can’t get mucus out of their noses and phlegm,” he concluded.
