Kasus Gondongan Merebak di Anak Usia SD, Ayah Bunda Jangan Panik

"Dream - After the widespread pneumonia cases among children in many countries including Indonesia, now there is a growing number of children affected by gondongan."

Many attacks occur in toddlers, kindergartens (TK), and elementary schools (SD). Mumps, quoted from Alodokter, occurs due to inflammation of the salivary glands on the side of the face (parotid) caused by a virus.

This condition is characterized by swelling on the side of the face below the ear. Mumps can be contagious and is commonly suffered by children aged 5-9 years old.

The following is the translation of the text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: The parotid gland, located below the ear, functions to produce saliva. Mumps occur when the parotid gland becomes inflamed due to a viral infection from the paramyxovirus group. The virus can easily spread to others through droplets of saliva or saliva that comes out of the mouth or nose.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The virus that causes mumps is very easily spread among children. Especially in the classroom and on the playground when they are in close proximity to each other. This was explained by Dr. Citra Amelinda, a pediatric specialist."

"Mumps is in season again lately. In the practice area, the most common cases are found in kindergarten and elementary school children because when these children were babies, the vaccine was not yet common. Once one child is affected, the rest of the classmates usually follow suit," said Dr. Citra.

He explained that the incubation period of the virus that causes mumps is usually 2-3 weeks. Once symptoms appear, swelling in the cheeks extending to the jaw occurs for 1-3 days.

"Fever, headache, and body discomfort for 3-4 days. Everything appeared for approximately 5 days up to a maximum of 10 days of recovery," wrote Dr. Citra in her Instagram post."

"For symptoms, they are not always the same. According to Dr. Citra, some may experience flu-like symptoms without fever accompanied by swelling in the cheek or neck area. There are also those who have fever and swelling."

"The average disease is not dangerous, but the risk of complications can reach the brain or, if the mother is pregnant, it can be dangerous for the fetus. That's why there is a vaccine because the worst risk can threaten life," said Dr. Citra. If a child has mumps, make sure to stay at home. Don't go out or go to crowded places. This virus is highly contagious. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and you can take fever medication if it's high (paracetamol/ibuprofen). Apply warm or cold compress to make the child more comfortable."
