Ɔkwan Bɛn so na Wobɛkwati Akisikuru a Ɛba? Momma Yɛnkasa!

So wowɔ ayamtu? Anaasɛ obi wɔ w’abusua mu anaa w’adamfo bi a ɔwɔ ayamtu? Afei ɛbɛyɛ sɛ woate saa ade a wɔfrɛ no ‘asthma flare-up’ yi ho asɛm.

Enti ɛnnɛ yɛbɛka nea ayamtu a ɛyɛ hyew yɛ, nea ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ sɛ ɛba a, ne sɛnea yɛbɛkwati ho asɛm.

Dɛn ankasa ne ayamtu a ɛyɛ hyew?

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, ayamtu a ɛyɛ hyew ne bere a wo ayamtu ho sɛnkyerɛnne no mu yɛ den mpofirim no. Wunim, sɛ wowɔ ayamtu a, wo ho yɛ wo yaw, wofefe, na ɛyɛ den sɛ wobɛhome.

Nanso, sɛ wodi wo ayamtu no so yiye na wonom wo ayamtu aduru no yiye mpo a, wubetumi akɔ so ayɛ hyew. Nneɛma pii betumi ama eyi aba. Yɛfrɛ wɔn "triggers." Eyinom yɛ nneɛma a ebetumi ama wo ayamtu no ayɛ kɛse. Nneɛma atitiriw a ɛkanyan no ne:

Dɛn na ɛba nipadua no mu bere a ayamtu mu yɛ den no?

Obi a ɔwɔ ayamtu no wɔ mframa kwan, ahurututu a ɛwɔ koko mu baabi a yɛhome, a ɛtaa hohoro kakra na ɛyɛ mmerɛw.Ɛte sɛ kuru ketewaa bi. Ɛnyɛ nea wotumi hu fi abɔnten, nanso ɛwɔ hɔ bere nyinaa.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, bere a ayamtu mu yɛ den no, mframa kwan a ɛwɔ w’ahurututu mu no hohoro, nsu a ɛyɛ nwini hyɛ mu ma, na ɛyɛ den na esiw.

Afei ma yɛnhwɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne nketenkete a yebetumi ahwehwɛ ansa na yare yi asɛe.

Dɛn ne kɔkɔbɔ ho sɛnkyerɛnne a edi kan a ɛkyerɛ sɛ obi anya ayamtu?

Ɛnyɛ obiara na obenya saa sɛnkyerɛnne ahorow yi nyinaa , nanso sɛ wowɔ bi a, ebia wobɛkɔ asiane mu sɛ wubenya ayamtu:

Sɛ wohwɛ saa nsɛnkyerɛnne yi so bere a epue ara pɛ a, wubetumi asiw ogyaframa kɛse bi ano.

Nsɛnkyerɛnne atitiriw a ɛkyerɛ sɛ obi anya ayamtu ne:

Afei eyinom ne sɛnkyerɛnne ahorow a wuhu bere a wo ayamtu no reyɛ kɛse ankasa na worenya ``Flare-Up'':

• Ɔfe no mu yɛ den. Ɔfe no betumi ayɛ den titiriw anadwo bere a woada, anaa bere a woreyɛ adwuma ketewaa biara anaa apɔw-mu-teɛteɛ no.
• Ɛbɛyɛ den yiye sɛ wobɛhome. Ebetumi ayɛ te sɛ nea obi repiapia wo moma so afi mu.

• Sɛ worehome a, wote abɛn nnyigyei (`(Wheezing)`) wɔ wo moma so. Nnipa binom nso frɛ eyi "ras ras ganava".

Akisikuru a ɛba no bi yɛ nea emu nyɛ den koraa, nanso afoforo nso tumi yɛ den yiye. Saa ara na ɛtɔ mmere bi a wo ayamtu no betumi aba mpofirim, bere a mmere foforo nso ebetumi aba nkakrankakra wɔ nna kakraa bi mu. Eyi te saa titiriw sɛ woannom w’aduru sɛnea wo duruyɛfo akyerɛ wo no a.

Mɛyɛ dɛn adi kan ahu sɛ me ayamtu no reyɛ kɛse?

Sɛ woanya flare-up kakraa bi a, wubefi ase ahu sɛnea wote nka ansa na nea edi hɔ no aba. So wote nka nso sɛ wo moma so ayɛ wo den anaasɛ wo menewa mu ayɛ wo yaw? So wotaa ɔfe a atiridii nni?

Sɛ me ayamtu no mu yɛ den a, dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ?

Okay, afei ma yɛnhwɛ nea yɛbɛyɛ bere a wo ayamtu no te nka sɛ ɛreyɛ kɛse, anaasɛ sɛ ɛba saa ankasa a.

• Nea ɛho hia sen biara: Mma wo ho nnpopo! Tra hɔ komm. Sɛ wobɔ hu a, ebia ɛbɛyɛ den ama wo sɛ wobɛhome.
• Ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔbɛn wo (abusua, nnamfo, akyerɛkyerɛfo) sɛ worehyia ɔhaw.
• Afei, kae wo Asthma Adeyɛ Nhyehyɛe . Eyi ne krataa a wo duruyɛfo akyerɛw ama wo a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ nnuru a ɛsɛ sɛ wonom, dodow a ɛsɛ sɛ wonom, ne bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wokɔ ayaresabea sɛ wo ayamtu no mu yɛ den a.
• Fa w’aduru a ɛma wo ho tɔ wo ntɛm no di dwuma sɛnea wo duruyɛfo ka kyerɛ wo no. Mpɛn pii no, eyi yɛ ade a wɔde home a ɛma obi ho tɔ no. Sɛ wowɔ aduru bi a wonom da biara a, ebetumi ayɛ aduru koro no ara dodow a ɛboro so, anaasɛ ebetumi ayɛ aduru foforo. Ɛsɛ sɛ wo Asthma Adeyɛ Nhyehyɛe no ka eyi pefee.

Nanso, sɛ wo ayamtu no mu yɛ den a, akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wohwehwɛ nnuruyɛfo mmoa.

Nsuro sɛ wobɛsrɛ mmoa bere a wo ayamtu no mu ayɛ den no. Sɛ wote nka sɛ worehyia ɔhaw a, ɛho hia sɛ wokɔ ayaresabea ntɛm ara. Wɔ tebea horow yi mu no, akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wokɔ baabi a wɔhwɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ yare a egye ntɛmpɛ (ER / Emergency Room):

Sɛ wowɔ saa sɛnkyerɛnne yi bi a, nsɛe bere na kɔ ayaresabea ntɛm ara.

Dɛn na metumi ayɛ de asiw ayamtu a ɛrenhyew ano?

So ɛrenyɛ papa sɛ wobesiw ayamtu a ɛbɛhyew no ano sen sɛ wɔbɛsa bere a aba no? Nokwarem no, wubetumi. Nneɛma bi a wubetumi ayɛ de asiw ano ni:

• Fa wo ayamtu nnuru no sɛnea wo duruyɛfo ka kyerɛ wo no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Wɔfrɛ nnuru bi sɛ controller nnuru na ɛsɛ sɛ wonom da biara. Ɛho hia sɛ wonom nnuru yi da biara da, sɛ mpo wo ho ye na wunni yare no ho sɛnkyerɛnne biara a. Eyi bɛboa ma woadi wo ayamtu no so na ɛbɛtew hokwan a ɛwɔ hɔ sɛ ɛbɛhyew no so.
• Fa wo aduru a ɛma obi ho tɔ no ntɛmntɛm (`(Aduru a ɛma obi ho tɔ no ntɛmntɛm / Reliever inhaler)`) ka wo ho bere nyinaa. Ɛsɛ sɛ wunya wɔ fie, sukuu, adwumayɛbea, baabiara a wobɛkɔ. Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wubetumi de adi dwuma wɔ tebea a egye ntɛmpɛ mu.
• Fa wo atiridiinini aduru afe biara ansa na atiridii bere no afi ase. Afei nso, mma wo werɛ mmfi COVID-19 vaccine no . Saa nnuru yi betumi aboa ma woabɔ wo ho ban afi atiridii ho, efisɛ saa mmoawa a wɔde nyarewa ba yi betumi ama wo ayamtu no ayɛ kɛse.
• Hu nea ɛkanyan wo ayamtu no ankasa. Afei, twe wo ho fi saa nneɛma no ho sɛnea wubetumi biara. Fa no sɛ wo ayamtu no mu yɛ den bere a wohome mfutuma no. Afei, wubetumi ayɛ nneɛma te sɛ akataso a wobɛhyɛ bere a woresiesie wo fie, bere a worekɔ mmeae a mfutuma wɔ, ne akwan horow a wobɛfa so atew mfutuma so wɔ wo fie.
