Hello Donisanti! Thank you for asking at HealthReplies.com.







Cataract is a disorder caused by turbidity in the lens of the eye. Cataracts often occur due to aging. Over time, cataracts will continue to become more severe and further reduce vision. The view will look foggy. Usually, the development of cataracts occurs very slowly. After many years since cataracts first occur in the eye, cataracts will become the most severe stage of cataracts or hypermatur. At this stage, surgery becomes much more difficult to do because the cloudy lens has been damaged and melted. Therefore, cataract surgery should be done immediately since the symptoms were first felt. If you wait too long, complications can occur in the form of blindness. Patients with diabetes, hypertension, smoking, or obesity can experience faster cataract development. If indeed the right eye is declared by an ophthalmologist not to be operated on, chances are there really nothing that can be done for that eye. It's best if you and your family focus on overcoming the problem in their left eye, so that at least your parents can see through 1 eye clearly. Ask your doctor who will operate on your parents in detail in preparation for surgery. Avoid using certain drugs, both drinking and eye drops, without consulting with the doctor first.







That's all information from me. I hope this helps.

Maybe you mean TB lymphadenitis (tuberculosis).



  

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can indeed infect a variety of organ systems, including the lymph nodes. These bacteria usually enter through the respiratory tract, especially in people who come in close contact with other TB sufferers, children, the elderly, and people with poor immune system. Under normal conditions, this lymph node functions as a haven and proliferation of white blood cells in warding off infections, including TB infection. However, along with its development, this lymph node itself can actually become infected, so that arises lymphadenitis. Clinically, TB lymphadenitis sufferers will experience lumps (often in the neck, armpits, or groin) that are round, smooth, springy, and often feel painful, especially when pressed. Not only that, TB lymphadenitis can also make sufferers experience fever, excessive sweating, weight gain is difficult to rise, weakness, fatigue, and various other complaints.



  

Handling TB lymphadenitis is done by giving OAT (anti-TB drugs) that must be consumed by sufferers for at least 6 consecutive months. Every month, the patient will be re-evaluated by a doctor to assess his responsiveness to the treatment given. After more than 2 months of treatment, complaints will generally improve slowly.



  

However, you need to know, that the treatment of TB lymphadenitis must also be accompanied by appropriate natural treatments, including those related to diet, regulation of activities, and also lifestyle modification. This inadequate treatment is likely to make your mother appear to be undergoing improvement despite long-term treatment. It could also, the slow healing process occurs due to the non-optimal resistance of your mother's body, resistance (immunity) of bacteria to the treatment given, as well as a variety of other factors. Compared with other complaints. lumps in lymph nodes due to TB lymphadenitis often will indeed not disappear completely, even though the patient's status has recovered from illness.



  

The itching that your mother is experiencing right now could be a side effect of the OAT she is taking. It could also, this itching occurs due to other reasons, for example allergies, skin irritation, infections, disorders of liver function, disorders of the thyroid gland, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and so on.



  

Our advice, you check your mother back to the doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in order to get the right treatment. Meanwhile, at home, help your mother do the following steps:







Take OAT as recommended by your doctor  

Give your mother healthy and nutritious food, containing rich calories and protein  

Give him too much to drink  

Let your mother take a break from exhausting activities  

Accompany him to exercise  

Create a clean, well-ventilated and well-lit environment  

If you or someone else around your mother shows symptoms of TB infection, see your doctor directly to treat them properly

From the information you have conveyed, there are complaints of small flashes or shadows of black threads and sometimes flash is a form of floaters. So that in your eyes you can see a picture of a shadow floating and moving in all directions, which in the end this condition can interfere with your vision. Some of the causes of this complaint can be caused by:



1. inflammation of the front of the eye



2. nearsightedness



3. cataracts



4. Laser action



5. Diabetes



6. inflammation of the retina



7. retinal detachment or disruption or detachment of the retinal lining



8. eye trauma



9. buildup of crystals in eye fluid



Meanwhile, the pressure of your eyeball that reaches a value of 22 mmHg, indicates the eye pressure is above normal, or is called intarocular hypertension. The normal value of eye pressure ranges from 12-21 mmHg. The condition of increased eye pressure can be caused by several conditions, such as:



1. galaucoma, or a disturbance in the circulation of fluid in the eye so that it damages the function of the optic nerve



2. drug side effects



3. diabetes



4. nearsightedness



5. eye injury



Thus, in patients with distant vision problems or patients with nearsightedness it is possible to find an increase in eye pressure and floaters.



Therefore, do regular check-ups with your ophthalmologist according to the scheduled next examination visit. The doctor will conduct periodic checks at least every 6-12 months to find out the health condition of your eyes.



What you can do is avoid eye fatigue, avoid sleeping late at night.



That's the information we can convey, read also eye pressure increases.

Using the gadget for a long time, in a dark place or in a certain position generally does not affect the cylinder eyes because these things do not cause abnormalities of the corneal curvature or the lens of the eye so that it will not cause deterioration of the cylinder eyes.



Curvature abnormalities in the cornea or eye lens can be caused by:



 Hereditary factors History of injury / injury to eyes Side effects of nearsightedness nearsightedness or nearsightedness (plus eyes) are quite severe Eye disorders of the cornea Down syndrome Premature birth history or low birth weight The difference between the cylinder values ​​between the two eyes is natural occurs because there is not a single organ in the body that is similar between the left side and right side, but for the cause of the increase in the value of your cylinder, needs further examination by an eye specialist.



For the value of the cylinder itself will not decrease by itself, but can be reduced by operative measures such as LASIK, LASEK, photorefractive keratectomy, or replacement of eye lenses with artificial eye lenses.



Until now, there has been no special prevention for astigmatism, but you can avoid injury to the eye and avoid worsening your eye condition.



I hope this helps. Hi Andreas,

Typhus (typhoid fever) can indeed cause a person to have a cough. This cough is generally only part of a prodromal symptom which will be followed by other more characteristic symptoms, namely fever, weakness, nausea, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, bowel movements, reddish skin rash, and so forth. However, usually the main complaints that cause typhus sufferers to come to health facilities are fever and nausea, vomiting, not coughing.



  

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can also cause complaints of a cough that doesn't go away. This cough occurs due to throat irritation due to reflux of stomach acid (it goes back up. Not only coughing, GERD sufferers will also experience other uncomfortable sensations around the throat and chest, for example propping up, tightness, bloating, stinging, heat, pain, burning, etc. and so forth.



  

Apart from the two conditions above, your complaints may also arise due to other causes that are not necessarily related to one another, including:







Causes of cough: allergies, respiratory infections, aspiration (choking), side effects of drugs  

Causes of white tongue: yeast infection in the mouth, leukoplakia, lichen planus  

Causes of red spots on the waist, stomach and face: allergies, contact dermatitis, insect bites, skin infections, measles, dengue fever, scarlet fever  

Causes of flatulence: gastritis, stomach ulcers, cholangitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, gastrointestinal infections, side effects of drugs, and so on



If you have already checked your complaint to a doctor and given treatment, but there is no significant improvement with your complaint, you should check your complaint again with a doctor. To determine the right diagnosis, in addition to a physical examination, the doctor may also perform blood tests, X-rays, or endoscopy. Alternatively, your doctor will recommend that you undergo a sputum test to rule out tuberculosis, which often causes the cough to not go away.



  

In the meantime, all you need to do is:







Reduce consumption of oily foods and those that contain lots of artificial sweeteners  

Avoid contact with substances that are prone to trigger allergies, for example cold, dust mites, animal hair  

Use a nose and mouth mask to prevent harmful substances from being inhaled into your respiratory tract  

Maintain endurance by eating foods rich in vitamin C, exercising diligently, and getting enough rest  

Do not smoke  

Be diligent in brushing your teeth and taking a shower regularly
