Yu smɔl pikin in yes kin at ɔltɛm? Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt midul ia infɛkshɔn (Otitis Media)!

Yu smɔl pikin kin kɔmplen bɔku tɛm bɔt in yes we de at? Ɔ i de kray ɛn ol in yes? Iya pen na tin we kin apin to smɔl pikin dɛn. Di men tin we kin mek dis apin na infεkshכn na di midul ia. Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, di midul yes na smɔl ples insay wi yes, biɛn di ia drɔm. If jem, lɛk vayrɔs ɔ baktri, kam insay ya, dɛn kin gɛt di sik ɛn ful-ɔp wit pus. Dis pus de mek prɛshɔn pan di ia drɔm, na dat mek di pikin kin gɛt pen na in yes.

Wetin na di sayn dɛm wae de sho se yu gɛt infɛkshɔn na yu yes? Aw yu no am?

We yɔŋ pikin gɛt infɛkshɔn na in yes (otitis media), di men sayn na we i de fil pen bad bad wan . Bɔt yu kin notis dɛn sayn ya bak:

• Yu kin gɛt fiva.
• I kin tranga fɔ it ɛn drink. Sɔntɛnde, yu nɔ kin ivin ebul fɔ slip. Yu no wetin mek? We yu de it it, sok milk, ɔ ledɔm, di prɛshɔn na di midul yes kin chenj ɛn di pen kin go ɔp. Imajin se smɔl pikin de kray jɔs afta i bigin fɔ sok bɔtul milk, ɔ wek na nɛt de ala.
• Pikin we big smɔl kin se, "Mama, mi yes de at." Bɔt smɔl pikin we nɔ ebul fɔ tɔk kin tɔch ɔ pul dɛn yes ɔltɛm, ɔ dɛn kin kray pas aw i kin kray, ɛn i kin rili vɛks ɛn vɛks.

Sɔntɛnde, if di prɛshɔn we di pus we de ful-ɔp di midul yes de mek tu ay, di ia drɔm kin bɔs . If dat apin, pus kin bigin fɔ kɔmɔt na di yes. Dis na di men rizin we mek di ia drɔm kin bɔs pan yɔŋ pikin dɛn. Pikin we in ia rɔp kin fil lɛk in ed kin tɔn ɔ i kin fil lɛk se i nɔ de fil fayn. Dɛn kin yɛri bak "whooshing..." sawnd na dɛn yes, ɔ dɛn kin fil lɛk se sɔntin de chirping na dɛn yes.

Aw dɛn ia infɛkshɔn ya kin kam?

Midul ia infεkshכn (Otitis Media) kin apin we wan כ tu pan di Eustachian tכb dεm we de kכnekt wi midul ia to di bak pat na wi trot, kin inflam. dis tכb dεm na dεn de drεn mכkus εn כda tin dεm we de bכlכp na di midul ia insay di trot. I de du wan rili impɔtant wok, nɔto so?

Imajin se yu gɛt kol, yu trot infɛkshɔn, ɔ wan sik lɛk gastritis, usay asid de kam na yu bɛlɛ (acid reflux) , ɔ sɔm kayn alɛji . Dɛn tin ya kin mek di Yustachian tyub dɛn swel. Wetin kin apin da tɛm de? Di we fɔ mek di mucus kɔmɔt na do dɔn blok. Dɔn, i izi fɔ mek vayrɔs ɔ baktri dɛn gro insay da mɔkus we dɔn trɔp ɛn mek pus. Dis pus de ful-ɔp di midul yes ɛn mek da pen de.

We dɔktɔ se "an ear infection," dɛn kin de tɔk bɔt infɛkshɔn na di midul ia (Otitis Media). dis difrεn frכm wan kכndyushכn we dεn kכl "Swimmer's Ear" כ "Otitis Externa," we kin apin we wata go insay di yes we yu de swim.

Wan ɔda tin de, dat na (Otitis Media wit Effusion) .Dis na we di midul ia kin ful-ɔp wit wata, lɛk wata, we nɔ gɛt infɛkshɔn, we min se nɔ gɛt pus. Sɔmtɛm dis nɔr kin kɔz ɛni big big sayn. Bɔt sɔm pikin dɛn kin fil lɛk se sɔntin de ful-ɔp dɛn yes, ɔ lɛk se dɛn yes de "pop" opin.

Wetin mek yɔŋ pikin dɛn kin gɛt dis pas ɔda pipul dɛn?

Yu kin de wɔnda se, "Wetin mek mi smɔl pikin kin gɛt dɛn yes prɔblɛm ya ɔltɛm?" Infakt, yɔŋ pikin dɛn, mɔ di wan dɛn we ol bitwin tu ɛn 4 ia , kin gɛt infɛkshɔn na dɛn yes pas big pipul dɛn. Bɔku rizin dɛn de fɔ dis:

• Wan na dat di Yustachian tiub dɛn we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt fɔs pan yɔŋ pikin dɛn shɔt smɔl ɛn dɛn kin ɔrizɔntal . So baktri ɛn vayrɔs kin izi fɔ go insay di midul yes. Di ɔda wan na dat dɛn tiub dɛn ya smɔl smɔl. So dɛn kin gɛt mɔ chans fɔ blok. Dɔn gɛt am?
• Wan ɔda tin na di adenoid dɛn we de na pikin dɛn. dis na tin dεm we lεk gland we de bihayn di nos. If dɛn big, dɛn kin blok di opin we di Yustachian tiub dɛn de opin. Ivin da tɛm de, i kin at fɔ mek di mɔk kɔmɔt.

Apat frɔm dis, ɔda tin dɛn de we kin mek yɔŋ pikin gɛt infɛkshɔn na in yes. Fɔ ɛgzampul:

• If yu put yu pikin wit sɛkɔnhand smok, dat kin rili bad.
• Bɔtul it , mɔ we yu de fid di pikin we i de ledɔm.
• Fɔ hang ɔut wit ɔda pikin dɛn na ples dɛn lɛk kindagarten , bikɔs da tɛm de, chans de fɔ mek dɛn kech tin dɛn lɛk kol frɔm dɛnsɛf.

Dɛn dɔn si bak se, in jɛnɛral, man pikin dɛn kin gɛt infɛkshɔn na dɛn yes smɔl pas uman pikin dɛn.

Bɔt mɛmba se, yu yes infɛkshɔn nɔ kin skata dairekt frɔm pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin . Bɔt, infekshɔn dɛn we de na di ɔpa respiratɔri trakt, lɛk kol ɛn flu kin skata izi wan. Ɛspɛshali we di wɛda kol, bɔku pipul dɛn kin gɛt dɛn sik ya. So pikin we gɛt infɛkshɔn na in yes kin gɛt sɔm sayn dɛn bak we de sho se i gɛt kol, lɛk in nos we de rɔn, in nos we de stɔp, ɛn we i de kɔf.

Aw lɔng i go tek fɔ mek dis yes we de at fɔ wɛl?

Bɔrku tɛm, midul ia infɛkshɔn (Otitis Media) kin bɛtɛ fɔ dɛnsɛf insay tu to tri dez we dɛn nɔr gɛt ɛni spɛshal tritmɛnt . Dat na smɔl rilif, nɔto so?

Bɔt sɔmtɛm, wata kin de na di midul yes fɔ sɔm tɛm ivin afta di infekshɔn dɔn klin. If di wata de na di midul ia fɔ pas tri mɔnt , dɛn kin nid fɔ gɛt ɔda tritmɛnt. Dis na di rizin we mek i impɔtant fɔ de tɔk to dɔktɔ.

Aw dɔktɔ go no kɔrɛkt wan se dis na sik?

We yu kɛr yu pikin go to dɔktɔ, i go fɔs gi yu pikin wan jenɛral chɛk-ap. Dɔn dɛn go chɛk di yes. Di dɔktɔ go yuz wan smɔl tin we dɛn kɔl ɔtoskɔp . I tan lɛk smɔl flashlayt. I de mek yu ebul fɔ si di ia drɔm fayn fayn wan. I kin chɛk fɔ rɛd, swel, ɔ pus biɛn di ia drɔm.

So wetin na di tritmɛnt fɔ dɛn ia infɛkshɔn ya?

We dɔktɔ dɛn de trit pɔsin we gɛt infɛkshɔn na in yes, dɛn kin tink bɔt bɔku tin dɛn. Dɛn nɔ jɔs de gi yu mɛrɛsin ɛn kɔmɔt de. Dɛn kin tink bɔt dɛn tin ya:

• Aw fɔ no di kayn infekshɔn na di yes ɛn aw i siriɔs .
• Aw ɔltɛm di pikin kin gɛt infɛkshɔn na in yes?
• Aw lɔŋ di infɛkshɔn dɔn de dis tɛm?
• Di pikin in ej ɛn if ɔda tin dɛn de we kin mek i gɛt dis sik (fɔ ɛgzampul, if di pikin rili yɔŋ, ɔ if ɔda sik dɛn de).
• If dis infεksh כn dכn afekt di pikin in yεri .

Difrɛns de bitwin di tritmɛnt fɔ Otitis Media, we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt, ɛn di tritmɛnt fɔ Otitis Media wit Effusion. Nɔto ɔl kayn infɛkshɔn na yu yes nid antibayɔtik . Dis na sɔntin we bɔku mama ɛn papa dɛn nid fɔ ɔndastand.

Bikɔs bɔku pan di ia infɛkshɔn kin klia fɔ dɛnsɛf, bɔku tɛm dɔktɔ dɛn kin tek "wet ɛn si" we. Dat min se dɛn kin gi di pikin mɛrɛsin fɔ mek i fil pen ɛn lɛf di antibayɔtik fɔ sɔm dez fɔ si if di sik go bɛtɛ.

Dɛn nɔ kin gi antibayɔtik ɔltɛm fɔ dɛn rizin ya:

• If na vayrɔs mek di infekshɔn, antibayɔtik nɔ go ɛp (antibaytik de wok pan baktri dɛm nɔmɔ).
• Antibayɔtik nɔ de ɛp fɔ pul wata na di midul yes.
• Antibayɔtik kin mek ɔda sayd ɛfɛkt (e.g., dayarɛa).
• Bɔrku tɛm, i nɔr kin gɛt bɛtɛ ifɛkt pan aw pɔrsin kin fil pen insay di fɔs 24 awa , ɛn ivin da tɛm de i kin gɛt smɔl ifɛkt nɔmɔ.

Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na dat we dɛn yuz antibayɔtik bɔku tɛm pas aw i nid, baktri dɛm we nɔ de tek antibayɔtik kin kam. If dat apin, i kin rili at fɔ trit baktriyal infɛkshɔn leta.

Bɔt if dɔktɔ disayd fɔ gi am antibayɔtik, bɔku tɛm dɛn go gi am 10 dez kɔs. Dɛn kin gi pikin we pas 6 ia we nɔ gɛt siriɔs infɛkshɔn shɔt kɔs fɔ 5-7 dez. If pus de kɔmɔt na di yes we gɛt di sik, dɛn kin yuz antibayɔtik ia drɔp bak.

Fɔ ɛgzampul, fɔ sɔm pikin dɛn, .Pikin dɛn we gɛt infɛkshɔn na dɛn yes bɔku tɛm, we dɛn nɔ de yɛri ɔltɛm, ɔ we nɔ de tɔk fayn, kin nid bak fɔ ɔpreshɔn dɛn yes tyub . Dis kin min fɔ mek dɔktɔ du smɔl ɔpreshɔn pan di yes, nos, ɛn trot (ENT) fɔ put smɔl smɔl tiub dɛn we dɛn kɔl timpanostomy tyub dɛn insay di ia drɔm. dis de mek wan rod fכ mek wata kכmכt na di midul yes. Dis kin ɛp fɔ mek di yes nɔ gɛt prɛshɔn.

So, yu de olwes "on di lukout"? Yu nɔ tink se tɛm de we dɛn kin nid antibayɔtik kwik kwik wan?

Yɛs, tɛm dɛn de we na so i kin bi. Antibayɔtik kin fayn fɔ pikin dɛn we gɛt infɛkshɔn na dɛn yes bɔku tɛm . Dɔn bak, yɔŋ pikin dɛn (we nɔ rich 6 mɔnt) ɔ pikin dɛn we rili sik kin nid fɔ gi dɛn antibayɔtik frɔm di biginin.

di "wet-εn-si" we dεn kin du kin nכ rayt fכ εvri pikin. I nɔ go fayn fɔ pikin dɛn we gɛt ɔda wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm, lɛk:

• Pikin dɛn we dɛn dɔn put kɔklia implant .
• Pikin dεm we gεt kכndyushכn lεk klif lip εn/כ cleft palata .
• Pikin dɛn we gɛt jɛnɛtik kɔndishɔn lɛk Daun sindrom .
• Pikin dɛn we gɛt prɔblɛm wit dɛn imyun sistɛm .

Insay spɛshal kes dɛm lɛk dis, di dɔktɔ kin disayd fɔ bigin tritmɛnt kwik kwik wan.

So, wetin na di impɔtant tin dɛn we wi fɔ mɛmba bɔt dɛn ia infɛkshɔn ya?

Okay, so di tek-hom mɛsej frɔm wetin wi dɔn tɔk bɔt na dat sɔm impɔtant pɔynt dɛn de fɔ mɛmba:

• Midul ia infεkshכn (otitis media) kin bכku pan yכŋ pikin dεm, so nכ panik.
• If yu pikin de kɔmplen se i de fil pen na in yes, i de tɔch in yes, i gɛt fiva, ɔ i de wɔri pas aw i kin bi, mek shɔ se yu go to dɔktɔ .
• Nɔto ɔl di ia infɛkshɔn dɛn nid antibayɔtik . Fɔ fala yu dɔktɔ in instrɔkshɔn dɛn di rayt we.
• If di dɔktɔ gi dɛn antibayɔtik, gi dɛn di rayt doz ɛn fɔ di rayt nɔmba fɔ di de dɛn . Nɔ stɔp af-af.
• Sɔm tin dɛn de we yu kin du fɔ mek yu nɔ gɛt infɛkshɔn na yu yes. Protekt yu pikin frɔm sigrɛt smok ɛn kip am fa frɔm pipul dɛn we gɛt kol.
• If yu pikin kin gɛt infɛkshɔn na in yes bɔku tɛm ɔ i tan lɛk se i gɛt prɔblɛm fɔ yɛri, tɔk to yu dɔktɔ bɔt dat bak. Yu kin nid fɔ rifer yu to ENT spɛshal pɔsin .

Mɛmba se if yu ivin gɛt smɔl dawt bɔt yu pikin in wɛlbɔdi, i go fayn fɔ mek yu tɔk to dɔktɔ ɛn sɔlv am.
