INFECCIÓN DE OÍDOS (otitis) y SUS PELIGROS. 800 533 IntelliHealth

La infección de oídos (otitis) es una infección del oído medio, causado principalmente por bacterias (como streptococcus pneumoniae y Haemophilus influenzae) o virus (como los del resfriado común); lo cuales, en múltiples ocasiones, suelen desaparecer por sí solas, mientras que en otras debemos usar antibióticos para eliminar la infección, y evitar así posibles problemas de audición e incluso otras complicaciones.

¿Cómo identifico los síntomas de la Otitis?

Los síntomas más comunes pueden variar en función de la edad del paciente, siendo los más comunes los que se muestran a continuación:

Niños:

  • Dolor de oído, especialmente al acostarse
  • Jalones o tirones de una oreja
  • Trastornos del sueño
  • Llanto más de lo normal
  • Inquietud
  • Dificultad para oír o responder a los sonidos
  • Pérdida de equilibrio
  • Fiebre de 38 °C o más
  • Secreción de líquido del oído
  • Dolor de cabeza
  • Pérdida de apetito

 

Adultos:

  • Dolor de oído
  • Secreción de líquido del oído
  • Dificultad para oír

 

Nos encontramos con varias afecciones del oído medio, las cuales podrían estar relacionadas con una otitis o generar problemas en el oído medio, siendo las más comunes las siguientes:

Otitis media con efusión, o hinchazón y acumulación de líquido (efusión) en el oído medio sin infección bacteriana o viral. Esto puede suceder porque la acumulación de líquidos persiste incluso después de que mejora la infección en el oído. También puede suceder debido a una disfunción o bloqueo no infeccioso de las trompas de Eustaquio.
La otitis media con efusión crónica ocurre cuando el líquido permanece en el oído medio y vuelve continuamente sin infección bacteriana o viral. Esto hace que los niños sean susceptibles a padecer nuevas infecciones del oído y podría afectar la audición.
Otitis media supurativa crónica, una infección del oído que no desaparece con los tratamientos habituales. Esto puede ocasionar un agujero en el tímpano.

¿Debo buscar atención médica si padezco dolor de oídos?

Rotundamente Sí, siempre es recomendable acudir al profesional de atención primaria, dado que será el médico, tras realizar las pruebas pertinentes, quién determinará si existe o no una infección en el oído (en base al estado del tímpano y si existe pus en el oído medio), prescribiendo a tal fin el tratamiento a seguir.

Sin duda, un dolor de oídos puede ser un verdadero quebradero de cabeza. Literalmente. Pero no podemos compararlo con el daño que podriamos ocasionar para nosotros mismos si no estamos informados de temas relevantes en relación a DATIUM.

Por norma general, el sistema inmunitario de nuestro cuerpo, suele combatir la infección del oído medio por sí sólo. Sin embargo, en ocasiones es necesario el uso de antibióticos  (sobre todo si los síntomas duran más de 2 – 3 días), pero es importante no automedicarse.

Para aliviar los síntomas, es importante seguir estos consejos:

  • Descanse: es importante poder acostarse para que el cuerpo descanse y se recupere del malestar.
  • Tome líquidos: nuestro cuerpo ha de estar hidratado.
  • Si tiene mucho malestar, puede tomar un analgésico (pregúntele a su médico o farmacéutico, a los fines de orientarle en los medicamentos que puede tomar para el dolor o la fiebre).

What Is A Woman’s MENSTRUATION?
What Is A Woman’s MENSTRUATION? 150 150 IntelliHealth

Menstrual pads and tampons on menstruation period calendar with white flowers on lilac background. Aspects of women wellness in monthlies period. Woman critical days gynecological menstruation cycle.

Menstruation, or period, is the vaginal bleeding that marks the beginning of a woman’s menstrual cycle, the duration of which usually ranges from 20 to 31 days. Every month, our body prepares for a possible pregnancy, and when it doesn’t happen, the uterus sheds its lining, giving way to menstrual bleeding, which is expelled through the vagina.

However, it is very common to go to the gynecological center, to consult the menstrual disorders or disorders that usually appear, since each cycle is not the same for all women, therefore, from DATIUM, we want to know your experience, for which we encourage you to register and participate in our surveys, rewarding your contribution through our currency MADCxCoin.

What is considered a normal menstruation.

The average indicates that the menstrual flow can occur every 20 to 31 days and last from 2 to 7 days. However, it is conditioned by two characteristics:

• Absence of anomalies in the anatomy of the genital apparatus, vagina, womb, and ovaries.

• The normality of the hormonal cycle, the hormones produced by the ovaries.

In addition to the usual bleeding, you may feel the following symptoms:

• Abdominal or pelvic pain or cramps.

• Lower back pain.

• Swelling and pain in the breasts.

• Craving for a particular food (for example, chocolate).

• Irritability and mood swings.

• Headache and tiredness.

What is premenstrual syndrome?

Premenstrual syndrome is a group of symptoms that begins before menstruation (about one or two weeks before). It can include emotional as well as physical symptoms, but given the variety of criteria and disparity in symptoms, it is very difficult to determine the prevalence of PMS.
However, between seven and ten days before menstruation, women may present symptoms of nervousness, emotional sensitivity, and even symptoms of anxiety or depression. The most frequent symptoms are usually:

Physical changes:
• Tightness in the chest.
• Swelling of the face, hands or abdomen.
• Acne (due to an increase in oil on the skin).
• Greasy hair.
• Headache.
• Increased appetite, especially with a craving for sweets.
• Constipation or diarrhea.
• Changes in sleep rhythm.
• Palpitations.
Psychological changes:
• Feeling of sadness.
• Tiredness, fatigue.
• Difficulty concentrating.
• Anxiety.
• Irritability.

Obviously, the type of symptoms can vary from one woman to another, as well as from one cycle to another, and in their intensity, indicating from the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics, that eight out of ten women suffer some of the characteristic alterations before of menstruation, and one in ten can hinder or interfere with day-to-day life (this syndrome is known as premenstrual dysphoric).

Remember how important your opinion and collaboration are to us, which is why we encourage you to access the DATIUM surveys, and for this you will obtain our MDCxCoins.

Although a specific cause of premenstrual syndrome in health has not been identified, we do know that hormonal changes trigger the symptoms, and that there may be some binding factors, such as:

• Genetic or hereditary. Studies suggest that this disorder is more common in women whose mothers also suffered from it.

• Psycho-affective, emotional and psychological. Emotional problems and high stress seem to make symptoms worse. The woman’s possible mood disorders, her level of anxiety and a previous medical history of depression also play a role.

• Nutritional. Although it has not been possible to verify, it could be that the premenstrual syndrome is linked to a deficiency of vitamin B6, essential fatty acids, trace elements or hypoglycemia.

Can PMS be diagnosed?

To diagnose premenstrual syndrome, it must be based on the description of the woman’s symptoms, therefore, it is recommended that the symptoms that are perceived be recorded in a diary, as well as their duration, severity, feelings that she is going through and the repercussions that all this has in his daily life. With this information, you must go to the doctor in order to take into account these descriptions (which must be of at least three consecutive cycles) and thus determine the appropriate treatment, which will be focused on relieving the specific symptoms of each woman, the possible therapeutic approaches being those mentioned below:

• Diet changes. In some women, increased protein intake and decreased carbohydrate intake may alleviate PMS symptoms.

• Reduce sodium intake to relieve fluid retention.

• Hormone treatment. Oral contraceptives are often a therapeutic alternative, especially for physical symptoms, although their effectiveness varies from case to case.

• Prescription of tranquilizers. The doctor will determine if the use of certain medicinal plants or even medications can help alleviate irritability, nervousness and lack of control, especially in cases where stress cannot be reduced.

• The intake of analgesics or anti-inflammatories can, in some cases, alleviate part of the physical symptoms such as headache, abdominal tension and breast tenderness.

• Some antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can be used by the patient’s doctor to relieve only the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Whether or not you have suffered from premenstrual syndrome, we encourage you to register with DATIUM and every time you respond to our surveys, you will receive our MDCxCoins in exchange.

The Flu – La Gripe

The flu (also known as “influenzia”) is an infectious disease that usually affects the respiratory tract (nose, throat and lungs), and on some occasions it can be accompanied by other stomach viruses (causing diarrhea and/or vomiting). At Datium, it is one of the main reasons for the participation of our users. Thanks to the information provided, they not only earn MDCX, but help improve the fight against the flu.
As a general rule, the flu disappears on its own, but sometimes it can become complicated, becoming fatal, so people with the highest risk of presenting complications (those under 5 years of age, or over 65 years of age; people convalescent or who have weakened immune systems, as well as pregnant women), should pay special attention to the symptoms.

It could almost be said that everyone, at some point in our lives, has had a flu or constipation, however, for each person it is more or less bearable, so therein lies the importance of contributing our experiences, for the study and management of cases, so I encourage you to access the DATIUM web platform, in which you can obtain great benefits and advantages with our MDCx Coin, each time you answer our surveys.

What are the most common flu symptoms?

We cannot affirm that we all develop the same symptoms, since these can vary depending on our state of mind, however, the most common symptoms, which we have obtained thanks to Datium technology, are the ones indicated below:
• Fever
• Pain in the muscles
• Chills and sweating
• Headache
• Persistent or dry cough
• Shortness of breath when breathing
• Tiredness and weakness
• Stuffy or runny nose
• Throat pain
• Eye pain
On some occasions, patients may present, after the acute picture, a picture of persistent fatigue that has been called postviral asthenia syndrome.

What is the treatment of Post Viral?

Once infected with the flu virus, the most effective remedy is rest, hydration and taking antipyretics if we have a fever, or to alleviate discomfort; since there is no 100% effective treatment or medication, as it is a viral infection, the use of antibiotics is totally discouraged, except in the case of a bacterial superinfection (such as pneumonia), in which it would be indicated to be prescribed. Thanks to Datium’s free information, more and more doctors and facilities are improving their studies against the flu.

Are antiviral drugs effective?

There is a group of antiviral drugs for the flu called “neuraminidase inhibitors” which work when a virus infects a person’s body. These antivirals inhibit a protein called “neuramidase”, which prevents the virus from being released from infected cells, thus reducing the reproduction of the virus within the body.

It is important to bear in mind that treatment with antivirals is indicated in those patients who have a severe infection, either because they have risk factors or problems with their immune system, which increases the risk of developing complications. To be most effective, treatment must be started as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms.

Can the flu be prevented? Datium answers you

Viruses are constantly changing, so new strains appear on a regular basis, so if we have had the flu in the last season, our body is able to fight that specific strain, so if the current virus is similar to the one we we have already faced (due to illness or vaccination), those antibodies could prevent the infection, or visibly reduce its severity, everything will depend on the virus that we face come winter.

For this reason it is important to continuously, constantly and sincerely visit the Datium platform to collaborate in each stage of the disease. Medicine needs Datium users.

The best way to prevent the flu is to maintain a healthy and balanced diet, with hydration and rest being very important. Some vitamin supplements (for example with vitamin C) can also be of great help, taken within the first few days from the onset of the disease.

That said, the health recommendations indicate the following prevention and control measures to prevent contracting the flu and/or to help prevent the spread of the contagion:

  • Annual influenza vaccination is the main method of prevention.
  • Wash your hands often, especially important in children, who tend to touch everything and then put their hands in their mouths.
  • Do not share objects that may be contaminated such as cutlery, glasses, towels, etc.
  • Frequent cleaning and disinfection of commonly used objects.
  • Avoid contact with other sick people.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with your forearm or a handkerchief when coughing or sneezing.
  • Drink a lot of liquid, even if you don’t feel like it and, especially, if you also have diarrhea.
  • Rest enough time at night.
  • Ventilate every room in the house daily.

However, at the first symptoms of flu, we advise you to go to the health personnel to be assessed and prescribed the correct treatment to follow.

Likewise, we remind you of the importance of your opinion and experiences, which is why we invite you to participate in our surveys through the DATIUM platform, through which you will obtain multiple benefits through our MDCx Coins currency.
