Ua loaʻa anei i kāu keiki liʻiliʻi ka maʻi niumonia? Mai hopohopo, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana!

Ua loaʻa anei i kāu keiki ke anu a me ka ʻū no kekahi mau lā? Ua ʻoi aku ka ʻino o ke ʻū a ke paʻakikī nei anei ka hanu ʻana i kēia manawa? Malia paha ua kaumaha loa ke keiki i ke kuni. Ma ke ʻano he mau mākua, makaʻu loa mākou i nā manawa e like me kēia. He mau hōʻailona paha kēia o ka maʻi niumonia. Akā, mai hopohopo. Hiki ke ho'ōla ʻia kēia inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka lāʻau lapaʻau kūpono. No laila, e makaʻala kākou i kēia i kēia lā.

Pehea e loaʻa ai i nā keiki ka maʻi niumonia?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he maʻi ka niumonia i nā māmā . Loaʻa i ko kākou mau māmā nā ʻeke ea liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia he mau ʻeke ea. Ke ulu ka niumonia, piha kēia mau ʻeke ea me ka pus a i ʻole ka wai. ʻO kēia ke kumu o ka pilikia o ke keiki i ka hanu ʻana a me ke kuni ʻana.

ʻO nā kumu nui o kēia maʻi he mau microorganism e like me nā virus a me nā bacteria. I kekahi manawa hiki i ka pneumonia ke ulu aʻe ma ke ʻano he pilikia o ke anu maʻamau, ka maʻi palū, a i ʻole ka maʻi e like me COVID-19. Komo kēia mau germs i ka ihu a me ka puʻu, hele ma ke ala hanu, a hoʻopilikia i nā māmā.

ʻO ka RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) kahi maʻi nui e hoʻoulu ai i ka maʻi niumonia, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā keiki ma lalo o 5 mau makahiki.

Nā mea e hoʻonui ai i ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi pneumonia

ʻOi aku ka nui o ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia maʻi i kekahi mau keiki.

• ʻOi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o ke keiki ma lalo o ka makahiki 1 i ka maʻi niumonia ma muli o ka uahi lua .
• Inā nāwaliwali ka ʻōnaehana pale o ke keiki (e laʻa me ka maʻi HIV a i ʻole kekahi maʻi ʻē aʻe).
• Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā maʻi olakino mau loa e like me ka hānō, cystic fibrosis, anemia sickle cell, a i ʻole ka maʻi puʻuwai.
• Inā he pilikia hānau kou me kou mau māmā a i ʻole ke ala hanu.

He aha nā hōʻailona o ka niumonia? Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai?

He maʻi ka niumonia i laha pinepine ʻia mai ke kanaka a i ke kanaka. He mea maʻamau ia i ke anuanu, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka hāʻule a me ka hoʻoilo, i ka wā e noho ai nā keiki i loko o ka hale. Akā e hoʻomanaʻo, ʻaʻole hiki i nā lole a kāu keiki e ʻaʻahu ai a me ka mahana ma waho ke pale aku i ka niumonia.

Hiki ke ʻokoʻa nā hōʻailona mai kekahi keiki a i kekahi. ʻOkoʻa nō hoʻi nā hōʻailona ma muli o ka maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e kahi bacteria a i ʻole kahi virus. Eia nō naʻe, he paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā mea ʻelua. No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke ʻike ʻana i ke kauka.

Pehea e mālama ʻia ai ka maʻi niumonia?

Aia ka lāʻau lapaʻau ma muli o ka mea inā he huakino a bacteria paha ke kumu o ka maʻi. E nānā mua ke kauka i kāu keiki a nīnau iā ʻoe e pili ana i kāu mau hōʻailona. A laila, no ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka maʻi, hiki iā lākou ke hana i kahi X-ray umauma, nā hoʻāʻo koko, a pēlā aku. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopili i kahi mea liʻiliʻi e like me ke clip (pulse oximeter) i ka manamana lima o kāu keiki e ana i ka pae oxygen i loko o ko lākou kino.

Ka lāʻau no ka maʻi pneumonia viral

Inā he maʻi virus ke kumu o ka maʻi, ua kaupalena ʻia nā koho lapaʻau no ka mea ʻaʻole hana nā antibiotics i nā virus. I kēlā mau hihia, hiki i ke kauka ke aʻo aku:

• Makemake au e hoʻomaha maikaʻi ʻoe .
• Inā he kuni, e haʻi aku lākou iā ʻoe e hāʻawi i ka nui o ka lāʻau lapaʻau i kuhikuhi ʻia e like me ka paracetamol e hoʻēmi i ke kuni.
• ʻO ka mea nui loa: Mai hāʻawi i nā lāʻau hoʻōki kuni, e like me ke codeine a i ʻole dextromethorphan, i nā keiki me ka maʻi pneumonia. ʻO ke kuni kahi ala kūlohelohe e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ai i nā māmā o ka mucus i makemake ʻole ʻia. ʻO ka hoʻōki ʻana hiki ke hoʻonui i ka maʻi.

Lapaʻau no ka maʻi pneumonia bacterial

Inā ua hōʻoia ʻia ke kumu o ka maʻi he bacteria, e kuhikuhi ke kauka i nā antibiotics . Eia kekahi mau mea āu e hoʻomanaʻo ai :

• E hāʻawi i ka mahele kikoʻī i kuhikuhi ʻia e ke kauka, i ka manawa kikoʻī, no ka helu kikoʻī o nā lā.
• ʻOiai inā ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke keiki ma hope o ʻelua a ʻekolu paha lā, e hoʻomau i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau no ka helu piha o nā lā i kauoha ʻia .
• Inā ʻoe e hoʻōki i ka lawe ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau i ka hapalua o ka manawa, hiki i nā bacteria e koe ana i loko o nā māmā ke lilo i mea ikaika hou, a hiki ke ulu hou ka maʻi niumonia. Hiki ke lilo i mea weliweli loa kēia.

Pehea lā e hiki ai iā kākou ke pale i kā kākou mau keiki mai kēia maʻi weliweli?

ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa a me ka hopena maikaʻi loa e pale ai i nā keiki mai ka maʻi pneumonia, ʻo ia ka lāʻau pale .

Ua paipai nā hui olakino o ka honua, e like me ka US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), i nā lāʻau pale e pale aku i ka maʻi niumonia.

• PCV13 a i ʻole PCV15: Manaʻo ʻia kēia mau lāʻau pale no nā keiki ma lalo o 5 mau makahiki a me nā keiki ma waena o 5-18 mau makahiki i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o ka maʻi pneumonia ma muli o nā kūlana olakino ʻē aʻe.
• PPV23: Paipai ʻia kēia lāʻau pale no nā keiki ma waena o nā makahiki 2-18 me kekahi mau maʻi.

He mea nui e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i kēia mau koho lāʻau pale a hoʻoholo i ka mea maikaʻi loa no kāu keiki. Eia kekahi, e hōʻoia i nā lāʻau pale ʻē aʻe a pau e kūpono i ka makahiki o kāu keiki (e laʻa me ka measles, mumps) ua hou loa.

Kahi mea hou aʻe,

• E aʻo aku i kāu keiki i nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi, e like me ka holoi mau ʻana i nā lima me ke kopa .
• E mālama i nā wahi pāʻani a me nā mea pāʻani a ke keiki i ka maʻemaʻe.
• E pale loa i ka puhipaka ma nā wahi i loaʻa ai nā keiki.
