• The lymph nodes of normal or slightly enlarged
• In the cultures in the laboratory did not grow bacteria

Bacterial laryngitis or pharyngitis

• Often found pus in the throat
• Mild to moderate fever
• Increased white blood cell count mild to moderate
• Mild to moderate swelling of the lymph nodes
• Bacteria grown in culture in the laboratory
• treatment

To reduce sore throat pain medication administered (analgesics) such as acetaminophen, inhaler or gargle with warm salt solution. Aspirin should not be given to children and adolescents under the age of 18 years because it can cause Reye's syndrome.

Pertussis is a disease that attacks the respiratory system caused by bacteria that live in the mouth, nose and throat. Caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. The disease is quite severe when the toddler suffered, it can even result in death in children aged less than 1 year.

Causes of Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

Causes Pertussis is bordetella portusis or Hemophilus pertussis, can be found in the respiratory tract, tract and the tract genitou gastrointesttimalis rinorius. Bordetella portusis is a small germ, not moving, gram negative and obtained by nasopharyngeal swab on the area of the patient. Bordetella Pertussis many attacking American States, Denmark, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia.

Signs and symptoms of Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

The incubation period is about 7-14 days. The disease can last up to 6 weeks or more and is divided into three stages, namely:

Pathophysiology of Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

Lesions found in the bronchi, but there may be changes in the mucous membranes of the trachea and nasopharynx. Mucus is formed to the small bronchi can lead to emphysema and atelektosis exudation can also get to the alveoli and cause secondary infections.

Some of the herbs that can be used to treat Pertussis (Whooping Cough), among others:

Tuberculosis is a disease of lower respiratory tract infection that attacks lung tissue by mycobakterium tuberculosis bacilli, aerobic rod mycobakterium resistant tuberculosis is a slow-growing acid and sensitive to heat and ultra violet rays, with a length of 1-4 / um thick and 0.3 - 0.6 / um. Tuberculosis is transmitted from person to person by airborne transmission. Individuals can infected through talking, coughing, sneezing, laughing or singing, releasing large droplets (greater than 100u) and small (1 to 5 u). Large droplet settling, while smaller droplets are suspended in the air and blown by susceptible individuals. These infectious particles can settle in the free air for 1-2 hours, depending on the presence or absence of ultraviolet light, poor ventilation and humidity. In the damp and dark atmosphere of germs can last for several days to several months. When these infectious particles inhaled by healthy people, will be attached to the airway or lungs. Particles can enter the alveolar if its size is less than 5 mikromilimeter.

Tuberculosis is a disease that is controlled by an intermediary cell immune response. This response is referred to as hypersensitivity reactions (slow).

The main symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis is a cough for more than 4 weeks, with or without sputum, malaise, flu symptoms, a low-grade fever, anorexia, night sweats, chest pain, anemia and coughing up blood. Patients with clinical symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis, among others, asymptomatic stage, the typical symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis, then stagnation and regression, worsening exacerbations, recurrent symptoms and becomes chronic. On physical examination found signs include signs of infiltrates (dim, ronkhi basa, bronchial, etc.), the withdrawal signs of lung and mediastinum, and the secret ronkhi away.

Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi A, B and C. Typhoid bacteria found in feces and urine of patients. The spread of bacteria into the food or beverages may result from a lack of hand washing clean. Flies can also spread the bacteria directly from feces to food.

Salmonella typhi bacteria into the digestive tract and get into the bloodstream. This will be followed by inflammation in the small intestine and colon. In severe cases, affected tissues may experience bleeding and perforation (perforation).

Approximately 3% of patients infected by Salmonella typhi and not get treatment, the bacteria will be found in the stool for more than 1 year. Some of the carriers of these bacteria have no symptoms of typhoid fever.

90% of cases of typhoid fever occurred at the age of 3-19 years, the incidence increases after age 5 years. In the first week of illness, typhoid fever is very difficult to distinguish from other febrile illnesses. To confirm the diagnosis of germ culture examination is required for confirmation.

Symptoms and signs of Typhoid Fever:

Usually symptoms begin gradually within 8-14 days after infection. Symptoms can include fever, headache, joint pain, sore throat, constipation, decreased appetite and abdominal pain. Sometimes patients feel pain when urinating and there coughing and bleeding from the nose. If treatment is not started, then the body temperature will slowly rise within 2-3 days, which reached 39.4 to 40 ° C for 10-14 days.

• Many patients experiencing intestinal bleeding; about 2% suffered severe bleeding. Bleeding usually occurs in the third week.
• Intestinal perforation occurs in 1-2% of patients and cause severe abdominal pain.
• Pneumonia can occur in the second or third week and is usually caused by pneumococcal infection (although the typhoid bacteria can also cause pneumonia).
• Liver and bladder infections.
• Blood infection (bacteremia) sometimes cause bone infection (osteomyelitis), heart valve infection (endocarditis), infection of the lining of the brain (meningitis), infection of the kidneys (glomerulitis) or genital-urinary tract infections.
• In about 10% of untreated cases, symptoms of re-infection occur within two weeks after the fever subsides.

There are some plants that can be used to treat typhoid fever, among others:

Hemorrhoid is the swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum or anus. In America, 50% of the population aged 50 years suffering from hemorrhoids. And an estimated 50-85% of the population will experience hemorrhoids symptoms in a certain period in his life.

The cause of hemorrhoids is mixed. Hemorrhoids can be genetically inherited, or because it is the weakness of the veins in the rectum or anus, or can also be caused by difficulty in bowel movements or diarrhea. Sitting too long can also cause hemorrhoids. Hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity (overweight), and a lazy lifestyle (not active) is also one of the originators of hemorrhoids. Consumption of alcohol and coffee in large quantities and often also one of the precipitating factors. Alcohol can cause liver disease that will eventually lead to blockage of blood vessels in the rectum or anus, while consuming too much coffee can cause hypertension. State of dehydration (lack of fluids) may also be a factor. Dehydration can cause hard stools and difficult bowel movements. Vitamin E deficiency is another factor.

Hemorrhoid is divided into two types:

• External Hemorrhoid. Is hemorrhoids that arise in the area called the anal verge, which is the end of the anal canal (anus). These types of hemorrhoids can be seen from the outside without using any tools. Usually will cause pain. Swelling and irritation can occur.
• Internal hemorrhoids. Is hemorrhoids that appear in the rectum. Usually these types of hemorrhoids are not painful. So most people do not realize this if you have hemorrhoids. Bleeding can occur if irritated. Bleeding that occurs dripping.

Prevention for hemorrhoids:

• Drink plenty of water, eating foods that contain lots of fiber (fruits, vegetables, cereals, fiber supplements, etc.) about 20-25 grams a day
• Sport
• Reduce straining
• Avoid use of laxatives (bowel stimulants)
• Limiting straining during bowel movements.
• The use of tight underwear can trigger the occurrence of hemorrhoids and can irritate existing hemorrhoids.
