Dream - Scratching is very common in Indonesia because it is believed to relieve uncomfortable body symptoms and relieve muscle tension.
"Kerokan is usually done with coins that have been rubbed with massage oil. Meanwhile, for children, red onions are usually used."
Later, a red line will appear on the scraped part of the body. This is believed to indicate that the person being scraped is in the recovery stage. Scraping using onions or coins is often done on children.
Scratching using onions or coins is often done on children when flu symptoms appear, such as fever, cough, or runny nose. Many parents are unaware that scratching the child's back carries some risks. According to Dr. Dyah Novita, scratching can actually cause skin irritation in children and potentially lead to more severe infections.
"The baby's skin is different from adult skin, its layers are still very thin so their skin layers have not developed optimally. If scraped, it can actually cause skin irritation. Well, this irritation can cause wounds and secondary infections," said Dr. Dyah."
Actually, 70 percent of fever in children is caused by viral infections that will heal on their own, within 5-10 days.
When a child has a fever, it is best to avoid giving them "kerokan" (a traditional Indonesian method of scraping the skin). Just give them plenty of fluids, such as water or milk, to prevent dehydration. In addition, there are several important home treatments that should be done. Take note, fathers and mothers.
1. Light material clothing Dress your child in comfortable, lightweight clothing that is not too thick. If the clothing is too thick, it will increase body temperature. 2. Monitor temperature with a thermometer Measure your child's body temperature with a thermometer every two hours. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give fever-reducing medication. 3. Continue to provide fluids Give drinks such as water, milk, or natural fruit juice. Avoid giving warm tea as it contains caffeine.
4. Compress To help reduce fever, you can provide a compress. Compress with warm water on the body folds. You can also use cold gel that is widely available on the market. If the fever does not subside for 3 days, immediately bring it to the doctor, Mom and Dad. Source: KlikDokter
