So wetin na dis "Long COVID"?

Ah... dis na somtin we plenti pipul de tok abaut. Sɔm pipul kin gɛt dis sik fɔ lɔng tɛm (bɔku tɛm pas wan mɔnt) afta dɛn dɔn wɛl frɔm COVID-19. Dɛn kin kɔl dis sik bak fɔ lɔng tɛm COVID ɔ ‘post-COVID-19 condition’ .

Dis na rili saykolojik fɔ sɔm pipul dɛm, bikɔs dɛn kin tink se, "Wetin mek a stil nɔ de fil fayn?" Bɔt dis na rial sik, ɛn dɔktɔ dɛn stil de du risach bɔt dis.

Yu nɔ tink se i go fayn fɔ no aw Covid-19 de skata?

Rili! We wi no aw dis sik kin skata, dat kin mek i izi fɔ wi fɔ fɛn we fɔ protɛkt wisɛf frɔm am. di `(SARS-CoV-2)` vayrus de spre mכst tru di εya . Jɔs lɛk smok, we pɔsin smok sigrɛt, di smok kin skata to di wan dɛn we de nia am bak.

I kin pas frɔm pipul dɛn we gɛt di sik, dat na, di wan dɛn we gɛt di sik, to ɔda pipul dɛn, ivin di wan dɛn we nɔ gɛt di sik . We pɔsin we gɛt di sik de blo, tɔk, siŋ, laf, sniz, ɔ kɔf, smɔl smɔl vayrɔs we nɔ de si (droplet ɛn aerosol) de kɔmɔt na di ays. Dɛn tin ya kin go insay ɔda pɔsin in nos, mɔt, ɔ in yay, ɔ dɛn kin blo am.

Sɔntɛnde, dɛn patikyula tin ya kin de na di ays fɔ sɔm minit to awa, ɛn dɛn kin travul wit di briz we de rɔn. Bɔt di big big prɔblɛm na we pipul dɛn de nia dɛnsɛf, spɛn bɔku tɛm togɛda, gɛda insay os (i.e., insay os, ɔfis), ɛn i tan lɛk se di ples we de insay di os nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ briz . Na dat mek i impɔtant fɔ kip winda ɛn domɔt opin.

Wan ɔda we na fɔ mek pipul dɛn gɛt di sik bay we dɛn tɔch say we gɛt di vayrɔs (fɔ ɛgzampul, domɔt knob, tebul) ɛn afta dat dɛn tɔch dɛn nos, mɔt, ɔ yay. Bɔt dɛn se dis we aw pɔsin kin skata nɔ kin bɔku pas aw i kin pas na di briz .

Dɔktɔ dɛn stil de luk fɔ ɔda we dɛn we di vayrɔs kin skata. Dɛn dɔn si di vayrɔs pan tin dɛn lɛk fes, kray wata, ɛn swɛlin, bɔt dɛn nɔ dɔn kɔnfyus yet se i kin pas tru dɛn. I nɔ de pas tru it ɔ wata . Na smɔl tɛm nɔmɔ, i dɔn pas frɔm pipul to animal, bɔt i tan lɛk se di risk fɔ mek di vayrɔs pas frɔm animal dɛn we dɛn kin mɛn to pipul dɛn rili smɔl. Di risk fɔ mek di vayrɔs pas frɔm mama we gɛt bɛlɛ we gɛt di sik to in pikin we de na di bɛlɛ sɛf smɔl.

Yu tink se COVID-19 denja fɔ pikin dɛn? As mama ɛn papa dɛn, wi nid fɔ no bɔt dis.

Dis na kwɛstyɔn we bɔku mama ɛn papa dɛn gɛt. Infakt, pikin dɛn kin gɛt di vayrɔs jɔs lɛk aw big pipul dɛn kin gɛt. Bɔt bɔku tɛm pikin dɛn kin gɛt sɔm kayn sik dɛn we nɔ kin izi fɔ dɛn, ɛn sɔntɛnde dɛn nɔ kin gɛt ɛni sayn atɔl.. Dat de kɔrej wi. Bɔt sɔm pikin dɛn kin gɛt mɔ siriɔs sik (lɛk di `(MIS-C)` kɔndishɔn we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt fɔs), ɛn i sɔri fɔ no se sɔm pikin dɛn dɔn day bikɔs ɔf COVID-19. So dɛn nɔ go ebul fɔ tek am layt wan.

Sɔntɛnde, COVID-19 kin mek pɔsin gɛt wan sik we dɛn kɔl mayokarditis, we na inflamɛns na di at mɔsul. Insay pikin dɛn, di tin dɛn we kin apin mɔ na we dɛn taya, dɛn nɔ kin ebul fɔ blo fayn, dɛn kin gɛt pen na dɛn chɛst, ɔ dɛn bɛlɛ kin at . Bɔku pikin dɛn kin wɛl ɔlsay frɔm mayokarditis, bɔt sɔntɛnde i kin rili siriɔs ɛn mek dɛn at pwɛl fɔ lɔng tɛm.

Wan ɔda tin na dat, dɔktɔ dɛn dɔn notis se insay dis sik, mɔ afta we COVID-19 dɔn bigin, dɛn dɔn no se bɔku pikin dɛn gɛt dayabitis . I dɔn gɛt bak di kɔrɛspɔndɛns inkris pan di nɔmba fɔ di wan dɛn we gɛt POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) , we na wan kɔndishɔn we di at rit kin bi abnɔmal fast we pɔsin tinap. Dɛn nɔ ɔndastand di rizin fɔ dis asosieshɔn gud gud wan yet, bɔt dɛn de du mɔ risach fɔ chɛk dis.

Aw dɛn kin trit COVID-19 if yu sik?

Okay, naw lɛ wi luk wetin fɔ du if yu gɛt COVID-19. Bɔrku pipul dɛm wae gɛt sɔm kayn sik wae nɔr kin fayn, ivin pikin dɛm, nɔr nid ɛni spɛshal tritmɛnt . Bɔku tɛm, dɛn kin:
