There’s currently no proven, safe treatment available for monkeypox. Monkeypox normally takes about two to
four weeks to run its course. If you are exposed to monkeypox, your provider will monitor you for 21 days.
Early symptoms are flu-like and include fever, chills and body aches.
Monkeypox is milder than smallpox, but it’s still important to be seen by a healthcare provider if you develop
any symptoms.

According to Tosin Mathew-Akinsiku (nurse/midwife), Immunization is of great importance to us and our children.
Administering vaccines stimulate our body’s own immune system to protect us against subsequent infections or disease.
All three hepatitis B vaccinations, diphtheria vaccine, tetanus vaccine, acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine, Haemophilus
influenzae type b vaccine (Hib), pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), measles,
mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.”
Immunization positively affects the growth and development of a child. Getting infected with diseases, especially at a very
young age, could have adverse effect on a child’s growth and physiological development.
Immunization is one effective way to check these diseases and ensure that a child grows according to plan. In a
quantifiable percentage, it does attribute to the growth. Although it can’t be physically measured but it can be said that
healthy children are more able to participate in education and other life learning activities, which help prepare them to
become healthy and productive adults.”
We all have a duty to highlight the collective action needed and to promote the use of vaccines to protect
people of all ages against disease.

Be cognizant that most sleep problems can be managed by changing behaviors around sleep, medical therapy, or
cognitive behavioral therapy.
Be aware that patients suffering from sleep complaints, or who suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness, should see
a physician and, if needed, obtain a consultation in a sleep center.
Physical exercise is considered an effective, non-pharmacological approach to improve sleep. A recent systematic review and meta-
analysis suggested that adolescents with higher subjective and objective physical activity are more likely to experience good sleep
subjectively and objectively. Likewise, among adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea, physical exercise as the sole intervention was
associated with improved sleep outcomes. The National Sleep Foundation has amended its sleep recommendations for good sleepers to
encourage exercise without any caveat as to time of day as long as this is not at the expense of sleep duration.
Insomnia treatment such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alone or in conjunction with sleeping pills if insomnia is the main cause.
There are secondary causes such as medications, a medical disorder or a sleep disorder (for example, Restless Legs Syndrome) that may
need other treatments. For primary insomnia, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) must be part of the treatment with or without
medications and a good sleep hygiene. If the patient has a psychiatric disorder, it must be addressed concomitantly.
