JAKARTA - Information about health for children is milling about everywhere and sometimes it makes parents confused about which one is right. Titi Kamal does not want to be trapped in inaccurate information about her baby's health.

The actress who is also the wife of Christian Sugiono chose to seek health information directly from the source through teleconsultation with doctors at telemedicine rather than being trapped by hoaxes.

"I like to get information, 'if a child suddenly has a fever, it has to be like this,' I am happy with (telemedicine), so I feel safe that I can get the right information, so I don't just believe it," Titi said at an online press conference. Lifebuoy Family Doctor quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 13.

The convenience offered by telemedicine makes it easier for parents to consult with doctors, especially in the midst of restrictions on movement due to the pandemic, which is welcomed by Titi, who is also a mother.

There are times when unexpected events happen to children at night, such as sudden fevers, and the presence of telemedicine, he said, makes it easier for parents to get services faster.

"So we need 24-hour service," he said.

She is also worried about having to take her child to the hospital if there are health complaints considering there is a risk of having to travel outside the house.

That's why Titi Kamal tries to find information about health online through trusted sources without having to go directly to the hospital.

Throughout the pandemic, Titi said she always tried to keep her family's health strong in the midst of the corona virus.

Providing nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits that are never separated from the daily menu, maintaining health protocols such as washing hands with soap and getting regular sleep are some of the activities that become his routine.

He also teaches children to wash their hands diligently and sleep not too late so they can get enough rest.

"Nine o'clock at night, or a maximum of 10 am already asleep," he said.

Every morning, Titi also often invites children to bask in the sun and exercise together to keep the body in shape. Apart from physical health, mental health is also not abandoned.

"Keeping spiritually makes you happy so that your immune system is well maintained," said Titi.
