Season period weakened immune system causes the body vulnerable to disease, one of laryngitis. Disease that is still considered “light”this was able to affect the surrounding organs.

Difficult to swallow, increased body temperature, cough, difficult breath, and nasal congestion are common symptoms that often tense throat felt hot. This complaint will be someone in the activity.

With the addition, the complaint in this medical term is known by the term faring. Sore throat can be caused by the wall of the throat and inflame the tonsil swell.

“Sore throat may be caused by viruses and bacteria. In addition, because immunity can also, allergy, and infection,” said ENT specialist from Hospital Ciptomangunkusumo dr Marlinda Adhamy, Sp THT.

He added that the first cause is a virus, could disappear by itself after a few days along with increased body resistance.

Viruses that enter in the body will affect the immunity in the body. Therefore, the resilience of the body to be an important factor to prevent any “foreign object”into the body.

Although the affected body resistance, in general, the virus will experience during the incubation period of 5-7 days. Conversely, if the immune system only worsen in 1-5 weeks time, the body will experience these symptoms.

Interference laryngitis is often caused by a virus than bacteria. However, both will cause the same symptoms, just sore throat caused by bacteria will cause pain in the throat. Streptococcus bacteria are called as often threatening.

The cause of the throat that cause inflammation is allergic. Someone will be allergic to the more risk to crash the throat. Substances that cause allergic alergen called as the rainy season, the room air-conditioned, dust, food, drink and akan turut trigger a complaint.

“In the air-conditioned room, because air circulation spin around the room only. Similarly, as the rainy season at this time, those who have allergies tend to be more vulnerable affected,” said Marlinda.

Therefore, the main thing to note is do not ignore the food and drink into the body. On those allergic to certain food or drink will cause irritation in the throat. Food is too sour, too hot or cold, food-food that is too sticky or cold drinks should be avoided to prevent irritation development.

While infections from health and hygiene of the mouth and teeth do not properly awake, and tonsil. This is because the throat is part of the mouth cavity. Staff Physician of the Department of Emergency Medicine West Virginia University Sara B Trepanier, MD suggested that each person always take hygiene and health of the mouth and teeth.

“Poor hygiene to keep the mouth especially the teeth can cause a sore throat. Dental decay is a hollow place or gathering of disease germs. Akan bacteria into the throat and cause infection,” said Trepanier.

When the “foreign object”into the body and do not get the handling right, the long run akan accumulate mucus and blood flow to and spreading to other parts of the body such as lung, kidney, heart, and ear inflammation.

Therefore, if the inflammation, treated flee, one of them with antibiotics. However, excessive use of antibiotics cause the loss of abilities.

Dr Marlinda Adhamy, Sp THT explains, sore throat does not always given antibiotics. Knowing the main causes and address them more effectively so that no interference occurs repeatedly.

The sore throat should be healed with the source of interference. If sore throat overcome, but the source of infection is not overcome, it is the same. “If the virus does not need to use antibiotics. If the virus causes the body to increase stamina will gradually improve,” Marlinda demolished.

Pain or headache, general suffered. However, it is very rarely a problem to know if this is an indication of interference jaw joints.

Often experiencing headaches and have not found it? Soon came to the dentist, so it can be a symptom of interference or the jaw joint medical call with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). This interference is a set of clinical symptoms involving the musculature mastication, jaw joints, or both.

Symptoms are usually felt more than one, are painful around the jaw joints, head aches, mastication interference, noise or joints when opening the cowl, and the limited open mouth. Beep joints are also frequently reported by TMD patients, this can be accompanied by sound or without pain.

Due to the existence of pain, some researchers have found that 70-85 percent of TMD patients often feel sore heads and 40 percent reported the existence of facial pain. Pain is increased at the time of opening and closing the mouth. 50 percent TMD patients often complain of sore ears, but at the time of review there is no sign of infection.

TMD is not known general public. But the fact is, this interference can provide a big enough impact on the quality of life. This is evident with the increasing number of patients with jaw joint interference seeking treatment.

“Data that we have not yet, but trends tend to increase. Perhaps because of awareness of dental and oral health of the community also increased,” said Guru Besar UI Faculty of Dentistry, Prof. drg Laura Susanti Himawan, SpPros (K) after the installation on campus Salemba UI Jakarta, last week.

Studies on epidemologis signs and symptoms of TMD was first conducted in Scandinavia and Northern Europe in early 1970, after these new publications appear in other countries. Of 18 epidemiology studies on TMD from various countries found 56 percent of adult population have at least one sign associated with TMD. While TMD symptoms reported by patients about 41 percent. In addition, it is estimated that there are increasing cases of 2 percent per year.

Meanwhile, a survey conducted on 128 students FKGUI academic program in November 1997 also shows the incredible results, ie, 96 percent of students have a sign associated with the jaw joints interference.

Factors that cause TMD, among others, oklusi conditions, trauma, emotional stress, deep pain input-feeling that can be painful and in-parafungsional activity or any activity outside the normal functions, such as chew, speak and swallow.

According to Prof. Laura, vice-hours a day, such as when to eat can be a cause of jaw joint interference. Eating pattern that is not true, just as with the mouth on one side only will cause imbalance of the jaw joints.

“As a result, most of which is the sound of light-sound activities at the mouth to make the most weight, the mouth is opened or closed hard,” said professor born in Jakarta, 60 years ago.

Meanwhile, dental doctorate from the Departement of Oral Medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle Donna Massoth, DDS, Phd said, TMD views based on three main categories. The most common characteristic of inconvenience is a pain in the jaw, neck, or shoulder muscles.

Sign and symptoms of TMD can be found at all age levels, from children to elderly. On child prevalence is lower, will be increased at the age of young adult and will decrease again in the elderly.

TMD symptoms most often by population aged 20-40 years with a number of women more than men. “Women do care for TMD two times more often than men,” Massoth demolished.

In order for day-to-day activities can run up to, the bones need a healthy and strong. Therefore, it is necessary to Feed and healthy food that contain calcium.

Osteoporosis is a bone a metabolic bone disease with marked decrease in density (density) until the bones easily broken bones. If it is so, of course activities will be subject to someone. Therefore, the required calcium Feed enough so that the bones become strong and healthy.

A study says, women who get Feed daily calcium from food have stronger bones than the women’s tablet supplements.

Calcium important for preventing osteoporosis, affects an estimated eight million American women, and two million men. As many as 34 million others, have a low bone density that increase the risk of osteoporosis. So what conditions in Indonesia? Two out of five elderly threatened osteoporosis. The incident number osteoporosis in reaching 34 percent-38 percent and 26 percent of Surabaya.

Research published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a study of 183 women against postmenopausal concluded, consumption of adequate calcium can help prevent bone density decrease the calcium needed from the bones.

In these studies, researchers ask the woman about the detail Feed supplements and dietary calcium during the week. “We assume that this represents the type of diet of each woman,” said assistant professor of the Division of Bone and Mineral Diseases Barnes-Jewish Hospital Reina Armamento-Villareal, MD.

Based on the answers of the participants, researchers divide the women into three groups. One group called supplements, at least 70 percent obtained their daily calcium from tablets or pills. The second group is called the diet, at least 70 percent of the Feed calcium food products derived from day-to-day. In addition, the group is the last diet plus supplement group, the percentage Feed kalsiumnya not much different between the two groups of the other.

“Only 35 percent of the calcium in most supplements can absorbs by the body. Calcium from diet food in general better absorbs. This could be the reason a woman how to get calcium in a higher bone density and shape a better,” said Armamento -Villareal.

See the results of research that can be said that calcium derived from natural food is better than in the supplement. However, the supplement does not mean there is no benefit. Especially for those with less  natural foods that contain calcium.

Studies conducted by Italian researchers reported, L-Carnitine supplements may reduce fatigue and encourage mental function in elderly people. In fact, can significantly increase bone density and reduces fat mass.

“L-carnitine, a molecule such as vitamins that have some role in body help produce energy from fat. High concentration of molecules found in the body with high energy needs, such as skeletal muscle and heart. Overall, the concentration of L-carnitine decline after age 70, “said researchers from the University of Catania Mariano Malguarnera and colleagues report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition as quoted Reuters.

In that research, from Mariano and randomly select a team of 66 men and women aged  go with 2 grams of L-carnitine or placebo every day for 6 months.

Result, the cholesterol level decreased significantly in individuals who receive supplements. L-cartinine recipient also increased 3.8 grams ototnya mass and lost 1.8 kg fat mass.

People given L-carnitine also able to walk 4 meters more during the 6 minute walking test after treatment than those given placebo.

Participants in the study group of L-carnitine also reported significant changes in the mental, physical, and eliminate fatigue. The treatment with placebo does not take effect in the sense of tired.
