Makemake ʻoe e ʻike hou aʻe e pili ana i ka "flu" (influenza) āu e ʻeha nei i kēia mau lā?

I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kahi maʻi hoʻonāukiuki e loaʻa ana i nā kānaka he nui i kēia mau lā. Ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka "flu". No kekahi poʻe, hele mai ia a hele aku me ka ʻole o kahi hōʻailona, ​​akā no kekahi poʻe, hiki ke paʻakikī loa no nā lā. No laila, e nānā kākou i ke ʻano o kēia "flu", ke kumu e loaʻa ai, a pehea e pale aku ai.

He aha ka maʻi palū? E ʻike pono kākou i ke ʻano o ia mea.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka Flu kahi maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e kahi maʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo `(Influenza)` i loko o ko mākou kino. Hiki iā ia ke hana i nā hōʻailona e like me ke poʻo ʻeha , nā ʻeha kino , ka ʻāʻī ʻeha , a me ke kuni. I kekahi manawa hiki i kēia mau hōʻailona ke hele mai a hele. Hoʻolaha pinepine kēia flu, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā mahina hoʻoilo . Hiki iā ia ke hoʻopilikia i nā kānaka he nui i ka manawa hoʻokahi, kahi i kapa ʻia hoʻi he ahulau.

He aha ke kau no ka maʻi palū?

ʻOiai hiki ke loaʻa ka maʻi palū i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki ma ko mākou ʻāina, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka honua (kahi e noho ai nā ʻāina e like me ʻAmelika), ua manaʻo ʻia ke kau palū mai ʻOkakopa a Mei . ʻO ka nui o nā hihia i hōʻike ʻia ma waena o Dekemaba a me Pepeluali. Ma ko mākou ʻāina hoʻi, hiki ke ʻike ʻia e laha ana i ka wā ua a me ke anuanu.

Pehea ka maʻamau o kēia maʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo ka flu?

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he maʻi lele maʻamau ka maʻi palū. Loaʻa i nā miliona o ka poʻe a puni ka honua ka maʻi palū i kēlā me kēia makahiki. No laila, ʻaʻole ia he mea hou loa.

He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ke anu maʻamau a me ka maʻi palū?

He mea kēia e huikau ai ka poʻe he nui. Hiki i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi palū a me nā hōʻailona o ke anu maʻamau ke like i kekahi manawa. Hiki i nā mea e like me ka ihu wai a me ke kuni ke loaʻa i nā mea ʻelua.

Akā ʻo ka ʻokoʻa nui, ʻo ia ka maʻalahi o nā hōʻailona o ke anu maʻamau. Akā, hiki i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi palū ke koʻikoʻi, a i kekahi manawa hiki ke hoʻoulu i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi.

Eia kekahi, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kēia mau maʻi ʻelua e nā ʻano virus like ʻole .

Loaʻa iaʻu ka maʻi palū a i ʻole COVID-19? Pehea wau e ʻike pono ai?

He pilikia nō hoʻi kēia i loaʻa i nā kānaka he nui i kēia mau lā. No ka mea, ua like loa nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi palū a me nā hōʻailona o Covid-19. I mea e ʻike pono ai i kāu mea i loaʻa ai, pono ʻoe e hoʻāʻo ʻia. Aia kahi pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi koʻikoʻi me kēia mau maʻi ʻelua.

Inā loaʻa i kēia poʻe ka maʻi palū, hiki iā ia ke hoʻopilikia iki iā lākou ma mua o ke kanaka maʻamau, no laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke akahele loa.

He aha nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi palū?

Hoʻomaka koke nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi palū. Eia nā hōʻailona nui āu e ʻike ai:

ʻAʻole e ʻike nā kānaka a pau i kēia mau hōʻailona a pau. Hiki i kekahi poʻe ke ʻike i kekahi mau mea wale nō.

No ke aha mākou e loaʻa ai i ka maʻi palū? He aha ke kumu?

E like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai ma mua, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka maʻi palū e kahi maʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo influenza . ʻEkolu ʻano maʻi palū e hoʻopilikia pinepine i nā kānaka: A, B, a me C.

• ʻO ka maʻi palū A a me B nā ʻano ʻelua i ʻike nui ʻia i kēlā me kēia kau (ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka hoʻoilo), a ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o nā hōʻailona.
• ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi influenza C , a ʻaʻole ia he kau. Loaʻa paha ka nui like o nā hihia i loko o ka makahiki.

Ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka H1N1 (“maʻi puaʻa”) a me ka maʻi manu . He mau ʻano like ʻole nā ​​​​​​mea ʻelua o ka maʻi influenza A.

He mea laha anei ka maʻi palū?

ʻAe, he maʻi lele maoli nō ka maʻi palū. ʻO ia hoʻi, laha ia mai kekahi kanaka a i kekahi kanaka. Hiki i ke kanaka i loaʻa i ka maʻi palū ke hoʻopili i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha mau kānaka ʻē aʻe.

Pehea e laha ai ka maʻi palū mai kekahi kanaka a i kekahi?

• Ke ʻū, kihe, a kamaʻilio paha kekahi ma kahi kokoke, hāʻule nā ​​kulu liʻiliʻi ("(droplets)`) ma kou mau lima a komo paha i kou ihu a me kou waha ma ka lewa. A laila hele ka maʻi i kou mau māmā.
• Ma ka hoʻopā ʻana i kahi ʻili (e like me nā ʻūpā puka, nā papa ʻaina, nā kamepiula, nā kelepona) i loaʻa ka maʻi flū ma luna a laila hoʻopā i kou maka, ihu, waha, a i ʻole nā ​​maka.
• Ma ka hoʻopā ʻana i nā lima a i ʻole ke alo o ka mea i loaʻa i ka maʻi palū a laila hoʻopā i kou maka, ihu, waha, a i ʻole nā ​​maka.

ʻEhia ka lōʻihi o ke komo ʻana o ka maʻi i loko o ke kino e hoʻoulu ai i ka maʻi?

Inā loaʻa ka maʻi, hoʻomaka ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o nā hōʻailona i loko o hoʻokahi a ʻehā mau lā (ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo ka "incubation period").

Pehea e ʻike pono ai i ka maʻi flu?

E ʻike kāu kauka i ka maʻi palū ma ka nīnau ʻana e pili ana i kāu mau hōʻailona a me ka lawe ʻana i kahi hāpana mucus mai kou ihu .
