For children, self-isolation or isoman is certainly a challenge. Not only do they have to stay at home, they will also be very limited in their interactions with fellow residents if others are negative.
In HaiBunda’s live Instagram, Tuesday (6/7/2021), Pediatrician from RSIA Bunda Jakarta, Dr. Dedi Wilson, Sp.A(K) said that children should always be accompanied during isomanism.
“If accompanying children with COVID-19, we still keep our distance and wear masks,” suggested Dr. Dedi.
No less important, children also need to get an understanding of the disease that is infecting their bodies. Other things to do include the following:
- There is no need to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when caring for sick children because this will only make the child afraid and stressed.
- Can sleep near children but separated by a distance of 2 meters.
- Can contact with children, but parents must apply the protocol health strict rules, such as frequent hand washing, wearing a double mask, and social distancing.
- Parents need to provide psychological support to children so they don’t get stressed.
- Don’t stigmatize your child when you’re sick.
- Stay in contact with doctors via telemedicine or online consultations.
- Give the medicine that has been prescribed by the doctor and follow the dosage and instructions.
