Jɔs imajin aw chans de fɔ mek yu gɛt dis sik dis kayn we we yu de rayd bɔs, tren, ɔ na say dɛn we pipul dɛn kin bɔku.
Bɔt di ɔpa respiratɔri infɛkshɔn we di fɛns kin mek nɔ kin pas frɔm pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin.
Dis kin mek prɔblɛm dɛn we kin mek pɔsin denja?
Bɔrku tɛm, ``URI'', lɛk kɔmɔn kol, nɔr kin siriɔs so. I go bɛtɛ insay sɔm dez, wan ɔ tu wik. Bɔt sɔntɛnde, i kin mek prɔblɛm dɛn .
Sɔm URI kin mek di infekshɔn go na di lɔng dɛn, ɛn dis kin mek pɔsin gɛt wan sik we dɛn kɔl nyumonia .
If dɛn nɔ trit baktriyal infɛkshɔn fayn fayn wan, di baktri kin travul tru di blɔd ɛn afɛkt ɔda say dɛn. Fɔ ɛgzampul:
Meningitis (dεn kin kכl am bak bren fiva, inflameshn na di mεmbran dεm we kכba di bren) .
Rimatik fiva (i kin afɛkt di at, di jɔyn dɛn, ɛn di bren) .
Skarlet fiva ( na fiva we gɛt rɛd rash na in skin) .
Sepsis ( blɔd pɔyzin, dis kin rili denja) .
Damej to ɔda ɔgan dɛn.
Udat dɛn kin gɛt bɔku prɔblɛm dɛn?
Fɔ smɔl pikin dɛn
Fɔ di wan dɛn we dɔn pas 65 ia
Pipul wae gɛt wik imyun sistɛm (e.g., di wan dɛm wae gɛt sik dɛm lɛk dayabitis, kansa, HIV, ɔr di wan dɛm wae de tek mɛrɛsin wae de stɔp di imyun sistɛm)
Fɔ di wan dɛn we gɛt ɔda sik dɛn we nɔ de mɛn (at sik, lɔng sik).
Aw dɔktɔ kin no bɔt dis?
Bɔku tɛm, dɔktɔ go no if yu gɛt URI bay di sayn dɛn we yu gɛt . Dɛn kin tek nasal swab ɔ trot kɔlchɔ bak. Dis na fɔ no if yu gɛt kol, wan patikyula infɛkshɔn lɛk COVID-19, ɔ if yu gɛt trot we de at, baktri lɛk strep trot. If yu sik nɔr bad ɛn nɔr de si natin pan dɛn tɛst dɛm, i go mɔs bi se na kɔmɔn kol vayrɔs. Nɔto ɔltɛm dɛn kin tɛst fɔ am.
Aw dɛn kin trit dis? (Tritmɛnt)
Di we aw dɛn de trit am dipen pan wetin mek di sik .
Vayral URI dɛm: Lɛk di kɔmɔn kol, nɔr patikyula tritmɛnt nɔr de fɔ bɔrku vayral URI dɛm. Ɔl wetin dɛn nid na fɔ pul di sik dɛn ɛn gi di bɔdi rɛst.
Drink plɛnti wata (at le 2-3 lita fɔ wan de).
Drink tin wam wam (tin lek koriander, fenugreek, jinja ti).
Rɛst fayn fayn wan.
Fɔ fiva ɛn ed we de at, tek mɛrɛsin lɛk paracetamol, we yu kin bay na di famasi.
If yu nos stɔp, tray fɔ inhal wit stim.
Baktri URI: If yu gɛt baktri infekshɔn, lɛk strep trot, dɔktɔ go gi yu antibayɔtik .
Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl: Tek di antibayɔtiks jɔs lɛk aw yu dɔktɔ tɛl yu, fɔ di rayt nɔmba fɔ di de dɛn, di rayt tɛm. Nɔ stɔp fɔ tek dɛn jɔs bikɔs yu fil fayn. If yu du dat, i kin mek di bɔdi wɔs instead fɔ kil dɛn ɔl, ɔ i kin mek di bɔdi nɔ ebul fɔ tek di mɛrɛsin.
Wetin yu go du fɔ mek yu wɛl kwik kwik wan?
If yu gɛt vayral sik, yu fɔ wet te di vayrɔs dɔn klin frɔm yu bɔdi kpatakpata. Bɔku tɛm, dis kin tek lɛk wan ɔ tu wik so. De bεst tin wae yu kin du na fɔ du tin wae de mek yu nɔr gɛt yu sik, lɛk aw wi bin dɔn tɔk, ɛn rεst bɔrku. We yu bigin fɔ tek antibayɔtik fɔ baktriyal infɛkshɔn, yu sik go bigin fɔ bɛtɛ insay wan ɔ tu dez. Bɔt mek shɔ se yu tek di mɛrɛsin fɔ di ful nɔmba fɔ di de dɛn we yu dɔktɔ tɛl yu fɔ du.
Aw lɔng dis sik kin pas? (Di tɛm we pɔsin kin gɛt di sik)
Di vayral URI dɛn kin pas ɔl insay di fɔs sɔm dez afta di simptom dɛn bigin. Sɔmtɛm, yu kin gɛt dis sik as ali as wan ɔ tu dez afta di sik bigin. Ivin if yu fil fayn bɔt stil gɛt sɔm sayn dɛm (lɛk fɔ kɔf ɛn sniz), yu kin stil spre di sik to ɔda pɔsin. Baktri infεkshכn, lεk strep trot, kin pas fכ wik if dεn nכ trit am.
Ustɛm a fɔ go to dɔktɔ?
Yu nɔr nid fɔ rɔn go to dɔktɔ ɔltɛm fɔ gɛt kɔmɔn kol. Bɔt, yu fɔ rili go to dɔktɔ if:
If di sayn dɛm rili bad: fɔ ɛgzampul, ay fiva, i nɔ kin izi fɔ blo, i kin pen na yu chɛst.
If di sayn dɛm fɔ pas tu wiks: Kɔmɔn kol nɔr kin las fɔ lɔng tɛm.
If de sik kin kam ɔltɛm.
If na so i bi, i kin bi baktriyal infεkshכn, fכngal infεkshכn, כ כda hεlth prכblεm. Dɔn bak, if yu gɛt wikɛd imyun sistɛm ɔ ɔda tin dɛn we nɔ de mɛn, i fayn fɔ tɔk to dɔktɔ jɔs afta yu bigin fɔ gɛt sayn dɛn fɔ URI.
Ustɛm yu nid fɔ go na ɔspitul (ETU) wantɛm wantɛm?
If yu gɛt ɛni wan pan dɛn sik ya, i kin bi imejensi. So go na ɔspitul imejensi rum wantɛm wantɛm:
Ay fiva: (Fiva pas 103 Fahrenheit / 40 Celsius).

Yu tink se ɛvri URI nid `(Antibiotics)`?
Dis na di rɔŋ we aw pipul dɛn kin tink. Bɔku tɛm, URI nɔ nid antibayɔtik! Bikɔs, lɛk aw wi bin dɔn tɔk, bɔku pan di URI dɛn na vayrɔs dɛn kin mek dɛn . Antibayɔtik nɔ de wok pan vayrɔs. Dɛn kin jɔs wok pan baktri dɛm. So, nɔ jɔs rɔn go na di famasi ɛn aks fɔ antibayɔtik we yu gɛt kol. Dɛn go gi yu antibayɔtik nɔmɔ if dɔktɔ dɔn chɛk yu ɛn si se na baktriyal infɛkshɔn (e.g., strɛp trot).
Wetin kin apin we wi de yuz antibayɔtik na dat di gud baktri dɛm na wi bɔdi kin day ɛn di denja baktri dɛm we nɔ kin gɛt antibayɔtik kin kam. Dɔn, we wi rili nid antibayɔtik, dɛn mɛrɛsin dɛn de kin stɔp fɔ wok. Dat na tin we rili denja.
Fɔ dɔn, tin dɛn we wi fɔ mɛmba
