VIVA Lifestyle – The weather recently has been so unpredictable that it has had a bad effect on health. The very hot day suddenly turned into heavy rain in the evening. This then causes many people to experience coughs and colds, causing cases of pneumonia and COVID-19 to increase again in Indonesia.
In fact, this is the right time to go on end-of-year holidays considering that children are also on school holidays. However, due to the high spread of various diseases, the joy of holidays is disrupted and makes everyone alert so as not to be easily exposed to the virus. Scroll for more information, come on!
“Unfavorable air conditions also contribute to the health of the respiratory tract. In the news, cases of pneumonia are increasing, an infectious disease that causes inflammation in the lungs. The cause of pneumonia can be viruses or bacteria. One of the causes is the influenza virus which is often thought to be “light,” said Medical Manager Vaccine PT Kalventis Sinergi Farma, dr. Thomas Aditya, in live Instagram @ptkalbefarmatbk.
However, said Dr. Thomas, there are still people who have the wrong perception between influenza and the common cold. The symptoms of these two conditions are similar, but their severity is different.
In influenza conditions, fever, runny nose and more severe cough occur. The danger is that influenza can cause pneumonia complications, and there is a risk of attacking other systems. For example, the risk of heart attack or other diseases, even causing death.
The spread of this respiratory disease will become even more dangerous if it is transmitted to tourists during the year-end holidays. Doctor Thomas explained that out of 100,000 travelers to developing countries for one month, half or 50,000 people could experience health problems. Some of the causes are seasickness during sea travel and fatigue while traveling.
“One of the most common diseases is infectious disease. Of the 50,000 who experience health problems, there are 8,000 who consult health workers. It’s a shame that if you go on holiday to have fun, you have to rest or bed rest. As many as 300 have to be hospitalized, even some are life-threatening,” he said.
Not only influenza and infectious diseases, travelers, especially those who like culinary, should also be wary of typhoid transmission. Typhoid fever is caused by the bacteria salmonella typhi, which is transmitted through food. Meanwhile, typhoid fever is caused by rickettsia bacteria, which are transmitted to humans through arthropods such as fleas or mites.

Therefore, it is very important to maintain your diet and choose a clean culinary place so that the quality of the food served is maintained.
“In a 2018 study in the Journal of Travel Medicine, approximately 1 in 100 travelers will get influenza while traveling. One of our goals when traveling is culinary food, which is at risk of transmitting typhoid. Typhoid itself is the case in 1 per 1000 travelers,” said Dr. . Thomas.
