He pilikia pepeiao ko kāu keiki liʻiliʻi? E aʻo pono kākou e pili ana i nā maʻi pepeiao (Otitis Media)!

Ke hoʻopiʻi koke nei kāu keiki liʻiliʻi i ka ʻeha pepeiao? Ke ala aʻe nei ʻo ia i ka pō e uē ana? A i ʻole ke hoʻopā mau nei ʻo ia a huki paha i kona pepeiao? He mau hōʻailona paha kēia o ka maʻi pepeiao . I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i nā maʻi pepeiao, a i ʻole ka mea a nā kauka e kapa nei he otitis media acute . Mai hopohopo, he mea maʻamau loa kēia i waena o nā keiki ʻōpio.

He aha ka maʻi pepeiao (Otitis Media)? E hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi kākou!

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka maʻi pepeiao he maʻi ia e kū mai ana i loko o kou pepeiao waena . I kēia manawa ke noʻonoʻo nei paha ʻoe i ke ʻano o ka pepeiao waena. ʻO ka pepeiao waena ka hakahaka liʻiliʻi i piha i ka ea ma waena o ka ʻaoʻao waho o kou pepeiao a me ka ʻaoʻao o loko o kou pepeiao. I ka pololei, ʻo ia ka hakahaka ma waena o kou pahu pepeiao a me kou pepeiao o loko. ʻO ka pepeiao waena ka home o ʻekolu mau iwi liʻiliʻi loa e kōkua iā mākou e lohe i ke kani. ʻO nā haʻalulu kani e pā ana i ka pahu pepeiao e hele ma o kēia mau iwi i ka pepeiao o loko, kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke lohe iā lākou.

Aia ʻelua mau ʻōmole liʻiliʻi e pili ana i ka pepeiao waena a hele i ke kua o ka ʻāʻī. Ua kapa ʻia kēia mau ʻōmole ʻo Eustachian . Hoʻoponopono kēia mau ʻōmole i ke kaomi ea i loko o ka pepeiao a pale i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ke wai i loko o ka pepeiao waena. E noʻonoʻo i ka mea e hana ai inā ʻaʻole hana pono kēia mau ʻōmole ʻo Eustachian? A laila ʻaʻole hiki i ka wai i loko o ka pepeiao waena ke kahe pono. A laila hiki i ka pepeiao ke hoʻopiha me ka wai, e hoʻolilo ana i mea kaumaha a paʻakikī ke lohe.

I kēia manawa, ke loaʻa kahi maʻi pepeiao ma muli o nā virus a bacteria paha , e lilo pū ka wai i loko o ka pepeiao waena i maʻi. ʻO ia ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai ka ʻeha o ka pepeiao a, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, e kaumaha ka pepeiao.

Pehea ka maʻamau o nā maʻi pepeiao?

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo nā maʻi pepeiao waena ka maʻi maʻamau i nā keiki ʻōpio, koe wale nō ke anu maʻamau. ʻOi aku ka maʻamau o lākou i nā keiki ma waena o 6 mahina a me 2 mau makahiki.

He aha ke kumu o nā maʻi pepeiao?

E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, pili ka bacteria a me nā virus i ka lāʻau.ʻO kēia ke kumu nui o nā maʻi pepeiao. Hoʻomaka pinepine nā maʻi pepeiao ma hope o ke anu a i ʻole kekahi maʻi hanu luna. Hele nā ​​​​huakino e hoʻoulu ai i kēia mau maʻi i luna o ka ʻōmole Eustachian i loko o ka pepeiao waena.

• ʻO ka pahu pepeiao i haehae ʻia: Ma waena o 5% a me 10% o nā keiki i loaʻa i nā maʻi pepeiao e loaʻa kahi haehae liʻiliʻi ma ka pahu pepeiao. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, e ho'ōla wale kēia. Inā ʻaʻole, pono paha ke ʻoki kino.
• Ka laha ʻana o ka maʻi: Inā waiho ʻole ʻia a i ʻole hoʻokahi wale nōInā ʻaʻole mālama ʻia, hiki i ka maʻi ke laha. Hiki i ka maʻi ke laha i ka iwi ma hope o ka pepeiao ( mastoiditis ). I kekahi manawa, hiki i ka maʻi ke laha i nā membrane e hoʻopuni ana i ka lolo a me ke kaula spinal ( meningitis ), kahi mea weliweli paha.

Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i kahi maʻi pepeiao?

I ka manawa pinepine, hiki i ke kauka ke ʻike inā loaʻa i kāu keiki kahi maʻi pepeiao ma ka nānā ʻana i kā lākou mau hōʻailona, ​​​​kahi hoʻokolokolo kino e ʻike inā he anu ko lākou, a me kahi hoʻokolokolo pepeiao. No ka nānā ʻana i ka pepeiao, hoʻohana ke kauka i kahi mea liʻiliʻi i hoʻomālamalama ʻia i kapa ʻia ʻo otoscope . Hoʻohana ʻia kēia e nānā i ka eardrum. Inā ʻulaʻula a pehu ka eardrum, he hōʻailona kēia o kahi maʻi pepeiao.

I kekahi manawa e hoʻohana ke kauka i kahi otoscope pneumatic e nānā i ka wai i loko o ka pepeiao waena. Puhi kēia i kahi liʻiliʻi o ka ea i loko o ka eardrum. A laila pono e neʻe ka eardrum i mua a i mua. Inā he wai i loko o ka pepeiao, ʻaʻole e neʻe pono ka eardrum.

E pono anei i kaʻu keiki nā hoʻokolohua hou aʻe?

I kekahi mau hihia, pono paha i kāu keiki nā hoʻokolohua ʻē aʻe, e like me:

• Tympanometry: Hoʻohana kēia hoʻāʻo i ke kaomi ea e nānā ai i ka wai i loko o ka pepeiao waena.

• Tympanocentesis: ʻAe kēia kaʻina hana i ke kauka e wehe i kahi wai liʻiliʻi mai ka pepeiao waena a hoʻāʻo iā ia no nā maʻi a me nā bacteria. Hiki ke hana ʻia kēia inā ʻaʻole i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka maʻi me nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe.
• Nā hoʻāʻo lohe: Hiki i kahi hoʻāʻo lohe e kahi loea pepeiao ke kōkua i ka hoʻoholo ʻana inā he nalowale ka lohe o kāu keiki. ʻO nā keiki i loaʻa i nā maʻi pepeiao mau a pinepine paha, a i ʻole he wai i loko o ko lākou pepeiao waena i kahe pono ʻole, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nalowale o ka lohe.

Pehea ʻoe e mālama ai i kahi maʻi pepeiao?

Hoʻoholo ʻia ka lāʻau lapaʻau ma muli o kekahi mau kumu:

• Ka makahiki o kāu keiki.
• Ke koʻikoʻi o ka maʻi.
• ʻO ke ʻano o ka maʻi (inā he maʻi mua ia, he maʻi e hoʻomau nei, a he maʻi hou paha).
• Inā paha ua lōʻihi ka manawa o ka wai i loko o ka pepeiao waena.

E nalowale ana ka hapa nui o nā maʻi pepeiao iā lākou iho me ka ʻole o ka lāʻau lapaʻau. E nānā paha kāu kauka i kāu keiki no kekahi mau lā ma mua o ke kuhikuhi ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau. Inā ʻaʻole e nalowale ka maʻi, pono paha i kāu keiki nā lāʻau antibiotic a i ʻole ke ʻoki kino. I kēia manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i nā mea hōʻeha ʻeha e kōkua i ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā hōʻailona, ​​​​e like me ka ʻeha pepeiao.

Nā lāʻau lapaʻau

Inā ʻeha ka pepeiao o kāu keiki i hoʻokumu ʻia e kahi maʻi bacteria, pono paha lākou i nā antibiotics. Eia nō naʻe, e kali pinepine nā kauka i ʻekolu lā no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana o kahi maʻi liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā antibiotics. Inā koʻikoʻi ka maʻi, pono paha lākou e hoʻomaka koke i nā antibiotics.

Hāʻawi ka American Academy of Pediatrics i nā alakaʻi no ka manawa e hāʻawi ai i nā lāʻau antibiotic i ke keiki a me ka manawa kūpono e mālama ai iā lākou. Aia kēia i nā mea e like me ka makahiki o ke keiki, ke koʻikoʻi o ka maʻi, a inā he kuni ko lākou.

ʻO ka mea nui loa: Mai ho'ōki i ka lawe ʻana i ka lāʻau a hiki i ka wā e ʻōlelo aku ai kāu kauka iā ʻoe, ʻoiai inā e hoʻomaikaʻi ana kāu mau hōʻailona. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e lawe i ka papa holoʻokoʻa o ka lāʻau no ka manawa i kuhikuhi ʻia, hiki ke hoʻi hou mai ka maʻi.

Nā lāʻau hoʻopau ʻeha

Hiki i kāu kauka ke kuhikuhi i nā lāʻau hoʻopau ʻeha ma luna o ke kauka (OTC) e like me ka acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol®, Panadol®) a i ʻole ibuprofen (e.g., Advil®, Motrin®, Brufen®) e hōʻemi i ka ʻeha a me ke kuni. Hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi i nā kulu pepeiao e hōʻemi i ka ʻeha. E hahai pono i nā ʻōlelo a kāu kauka e hoʻoholo ai i nā lāʻau lapaʻau palekana no kāu keiki.

Mai hāʻawi i ka aspirin i nā keiki ʻōpio. Hiki i ka aspirin ke hana i kahi maʻi weliweli a hoʻoweliweli i ke ola i kapa ʻia ʻo Reye's syndrome .

Nā ʻōmole pepeiao / Nā ʻōmole Tympanostomy

Inā loaʻa pinepine i kāu keiki nā maʻi pepeiao, loaʻa iā ia nā maʻi i pane ʻole i nā lāʻau antibiotic, a i ʻole ua nalowale ka lohe ma muli o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka wai, pono paha iā lākou ke hoʻokomo ʻia nā paipu pepeiao. E hoʻokomo kahi loea pepeiao, ihu, a me ka puʻu (ENT) i nā paipu ma o kahi kaʻina hana i kapa ʻia he tympanostomy . He kaʻina hana maʻalahi kēia e lawe ana ma kahi o 10 mau minuke. Hiki i kāu keiki ke hoʻi i ka home i ka lā hoʻokahi.

I loko o kahi tympanostomy, hana ke kauka i kahi ʻoki liʻiliʻi loa i loko o ka eardrum o ke keiki a hoʻokomo i kahi paipu metala liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka palaki ma loko. ʻO kēia kaʻina hana, e pili ana i ka hou ʻana i ka eardrum a me ka hoʻokahe ʻana i ka wai, ua kapa ʻia hoʻi he myringotomy . Ke kau ʻia nā paipu, ʻae lākou i ka ea e komo i loko o ka pepeiao waena a kōkua i ka hoʻokahe ʻana o ka wai.

ʻO ka maʻamau, waiho ʻia kēia ʻōmole ma kahi no 12 a 18 mau mahina. Hiki ke hāʻule wale ia , a i ʻole pono paha ke ʻoki liʻiliʻi e wehe ai. Ma hope o ka wehe ʻia ʻana o ka ʻōmole, hoʻōla ʻia ka lua i loko o ka eardrum a pani ʻia.

Hiki i ka maʻi pepeiao ke ho'ōla iā ia iho ?

ʻAe, ho'ōla ka hapa nui o nā maʻi iā lākou iho . ʻO ia ke kumu e kali ai kāu kauka i kekahi manawa ma mua o ke kuhikuhi ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e like me nā antibiotics. I kēia manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokele i nā hōʻailona e like me ka ʻeha pepeiao me nā lāʻau ʻeha.

Ma muli o ka makahiki o kāu keiki, nā hōʻailona, ​​a me ke kuni, pono paha nā lāʻau antibiotic e kōkua iā lākou e ho'ōla.
