Lɛ wi lan mɔ bɔt kɔf (Pertussis) wantɛm wantɛm. Nɔ wɔri, dis infɔmeshɔn na fɔ yu!

Yu ɔ yu smɔl pikin kin kɔf ɔltɛm dɛn tɛm ya we jɔs nɔ go stɔp? I kin bi se i bigin as kɔmɔn kol. Bɔt if i tɔn to bad bad kɔf we nɔ de dɔn afta wan ɔ tu wiks, i kin bi kɔf (Pertussis) . Dis na infεkshכn we de pas na di כp pat pan di briz, we min di trot εn nos. I kin afɛkt pikin dɛn, pikin dɛn, ɛn big pipul dɛn. Lɛ wi tɔk mɔ bɔt dis, nɔto so?

Wetin rili na Pɛtɔsis?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, kɔf na wan sik we de ambɔg di we aw pɔsin de blo. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin kɔl am ``Pertussis.'' Sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl am "100-day kɔf" bikɔs sɔmtɛm de sik kin las fɔ wik ɔ ivin mɔnt bifo yu wɛl ɔl.

Fɔs, i kin tan lɛk se na kɔmɔn kol. Bɔt afta sɔm dez, i kin bigin fɔ kɔf bad bad wan. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin kɔl dɛn tin ya ``paroxysms'' ɔ "coughing spells." Dɛn kɔf spɛl ya kin mek i nɔ izi fɔ it, blo, ɛn slip. Sɔntɛnde, we yu tray fɔ blo afta yu dɔn kɔf, yu kin mek ay-pitch "whoop" sawnd. Na dat mek dɛn kɔl am ``Whooping Cough''. Bɔt i nɔ kin izi fɔ smɔl pikin dɛn fɔ blo ilɛksɛf dɛn nɔ kɔf .

Wetin na di sayn dɛm fɔ kɔf? Aw i kin divɛlɔp?

Di sayn dɛm fɔ kɔf kin bigin lɛk kol, dɔn i kin go bifo to kɔf bad bad wan. Dis kin apin insay tri men stej dɛn.

Impɔtant: If yu pikin kɔf bad bad wan, i tɔn blu/grey rawnd in mɔt, ɛn/ɔ i nɔ izi fɔ blo, kɛr am go na ɔspitul wantɛm wantɛm. Dis kin bi imejensi.

Okay, naw lɛ wi si wetin na dɛn tri stej ya:

1. Di tɛm we kol simptom dɛn de

2. Di tɛm we pɔsin kin kɔf bad bad wan

3. Di tɛm we pɔsin kin wɛl smɔl smɔl

Stej 1: Di tɛm we di flu de simptom

Dis tɛm kin tek lɛk wan ɔ tu wiks so. Dis na wae yu ɔ yu pikin kin gɛt dis sik to ɔda pipul dɛm. Bɔt yu go tink se na jɔs kɔmɔn kol. Di sayn dɛm we kin apin insay dis tɛm na:

• Nasal kɔnjɛshɔn
• Mucus (mukus we de kɔmɔt na di bɔdi) .
• Trot de at
• Kray wata we de kɔmɔt na di yay
• Kɔf we nɔ kin izi fɔ kɔf fɔs ɛn we kin bɔku smɔl smɔl
• Mild fiva (lɛs dan 38 digri sɛlshiɔs / 100.4 digri Fahrenheit) ɔ nɔmal bɔdi tɛmpracha
• Wan filin fɔ nɔ wɛl, nɔ want fɔ du ɛnitin ``(malaise)``

Tin dεm we kin apin to sכm pikin insay dis tεm:

• I kin at fɔ blo.
• Di brith kin stɔp fɔ shɔt tɛm (apnea).
• Yu go notis se i nɔ izi fɔ mek di pikin blo. I kin tan lɛk se i de go insay yu bɛlɛ, lɛk se i de tray fɔ blo.
• di skin, spεshal wan di lip dεm we de rawnd di mכt kin tכn blu כ grey (cyanosis) bikoz כksijεn nכ de. Dis na sayn we denja.

Stej 2: I kin gɛt siriɔs kɔf

Di sɛkɔn stej kin tek lɛk wan to siks wik. Bɔt sɔntɛnde i kin las fɔ tɛn wik. insay dis tεm, yu aywe dεm kin fulכp wit tik mכkus, εn yu kin bigin fכ gεt siriכs kכf spεl (paroxysms). Dis na wetin kin apin:

• Kɔf fit na we yu kɔf fɔ sɔm minit wan tɛm.
• We yu de tray fɔ blo insay we yu de kɔf, yu kin mek ay-pitch "whoop" sawnd (bɔt nɔto ɔlman de mek dis sawnd).
• Afta yu dɔn kɔf, yu kin vɔmit ɛn/ɔ fil bad bad wan. Imajin aw dis go tranga fɔ smɔl pikin.
• Dis kɔf spɛl kin apin we yu de kray, it, ɔ laf.
• Di kɔf kin apin na de ɛn bak na nɛt, bɔt di kɔf kin wɔs na nɛt.

Fɔs, dɛn kɔf spɛl ya kin kam mɔ ɛn mɔ, dɔn dɛn kin stɔp, dɔn dɛn kin bigin fɔ stɔp smɔl smɔl.

Stej 3: Di tɛm we pɔsin kin wɛl smɔl smɔl

Dis stej kin las fɔ siks wik. Insay dis tɛm, yu nɔ go gɛt di bad bad kɔf we yu bin de kɔf bifo, bɔt yu kin gɛt smɔl kɔf wan wan tɛm. Yu kɔf go stɔp smɔl smɔl.

Bɔt mɛmba se pan ɔl we yu de fil fayn, yu bɔdi stil de wɛl insay dis tɛm. So yu kin rili sɔfa fɔ gɛt ɔda sik dɛn we de mek yu nɔ ebul fɔ blo fayn. So tray fɔ tek tɛm wit jem. If yu gɛt ɔda sik, dɛn bad bad kɔf spɛl dɛn de kin kam bak.

Aw da "whoop" sawnd de kam?

Whooping cough gɛt in nem bikɔs sɔm pipul dɛn kin mek "whoop" sawnd we dɛn de kɔf. We yu de kɔf ɔltɛm, i kin rili at fɔ blo. We yu dɔn tray fɔ blo, i kin saund lɛk ay-pitch "whoop" ɔ wheezing sawnd. Bɔt nɔto ɔlman we gɛt kɔf de mek dis "whoop" sawnd. So nɔ tink se jɔs bikɔs yu nɔ mek di sawnd nɔ min se i nɔto kɔf.

Wetin kin mek pɔsin kɔf?

Wan bɔdi we dɛn kɔl Bordetella pertussis kin mek pɔsin kɔf. Dis baktri de infɛkt di layn na yu aywe, ɛn mek dɛn swel. Dis swɛlin kin mek tik tik mכkus kam, we kin mek yu kɔf bad bad wan.

Whooping cough de spre tru di respiratory droplets we de mek we pɔsin kɔf ɔ sniz. Bɔrku tɛm, di sayn dɛm kin bigin insay fayv to tɛn dez afta yu dɔn gɛt dis sik, bɔt sɔmtɛm kin tek 21 dez.

Yu tink se kɔf kin pas?

Yɛs, dis na sik we kin pas bad bad wan. Dat min se i kin skata izi wan frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. Chans de fɔ mek yu gɛt am frɔm pɔsin we yu de liv wit. Pikin dɛn kin kech am frɔm padi dɛn na skul ɛn na klas.

Yu kin gɛt dis sik frɔm di tɛm we yu sik bigin te tri wik afta yu kɔf bigin. Fɔ ɛgzampul, if yu bin gɛt kol sik fɔ lɛk wan wik bifo yu kɔf bigin, yu go gɛt di sik fɔ lɛk 4 wiks ɔl togɛda.

Wetin na di prɔblɛm dɛn we kin apin we pɔsin kin kɔf?

Dis nɔto jɔs simpul kɔf, sɔntɛnde i kin mek yu gɛt siriɔs prɔblɛm, mɔ pan yɔŋ pikin dɛn.

Di prɔblɛm dɛn we kin apin to bebi ɛn smɔl pikin dɛn:

• Infεkshכn dεm na di yes

• Di we aw pɔsin de blo fayn

Di prɔblɛm dɛn kin rili bad pan pikin dɛn we nɔ rich 12 mɔnt yet. di pikin dεm we gεt dis ej kin go na כspitul fכ pεrtussis. Dɛn kin gɛt di ay risk fɔ gɛt siriɔs prɔblɛm ɔ day:

• Fɔ pikin dɛn we nɔ gɛt di vaysin (ɔ if di mama nɔ bin gɛt di vaysin we i gɛt bɛlɛ) .
• Fɔ bebi dɛn we gɛt wik imyun sistɛm
• Fɔ bebi dɛn we gɛt siriɔs asma

Kɔmplikɛshɔn dɛm wae kin kam pan yɔŋ pipul dɛm ɛn big pipul dɛm:

• Fraktrɔs na wan rib (bikɔs ɔf siriɔs kɔf) .
• Infεkshכn dεm na di yes
• Nɔr kin no natin (bikɔs yu kin kɔf) .

• Nyumonia (`(Nimonia)`)
• We yu nɔ bin de ɛkspɛkt fɔ lɔs yu wet

Aw dɔktɔ dɛn kin no if pɔsin gɛt kɔf?

Dis na aw dɔktɔ dɛn kin no if pɔsin gɛt kɔf:

• Dɛn bin du wan ɛgzam fɔ di bɔdi.
• A yɛri bɔt yu sik dɛn.
• dεn tek wan sεmpl fכ mכkus frכm insay di nos εn trot (wan ``nasopharyngeal swab'') εn sεnd am to labכtכri.

If yu bin dɔn de nia pɔsin we gɛt kɔf ɔ pɔsin we gɛt kɔf ɔltɛm, tɛl yu dɔktɔ. Da infɔmeshɔn de go ɛp fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt di sik.

Wetin na di tritmɛnt fɔ kɔf (Pertussis)?

Dɔktɔ dɛn kin trit kɔf wit antibayɔtik, lɛk azithromycin, clarithromycin, ɔ erythromycin. Yu nid fɔ tek di mɛrɛsin jɔs lɛk aw yu dɔktɔ tɛl yu. Di kwik we yu bigin fɔ tek antibayɔtik, na di mɔ dɛn go ɛp yu.

Impɔtant: Antibayɔtik nɔ go stɔp yu kɔf ɔ mek i go. Bɔt, dɛn go stɔp yu fɔ mek di sik pas ɔda pipul dɛn. If yu tek am kwik, dɛn kin ivin ridyus yu sayn dɛn smɔl.

If yu pikin sik bad bad wan, i kin nid fɔ go na ɔspitul fɔ mek dɛn wach am. Na de, wan mɛdikal tim kin tek tɛm wach di pikin in briz ɛn if nid de, dɛn kin gi am ɔksijɛn ɛn salin.

Ustɛm a fɔ go to dɔktɔ?

Fɔ yu pikin, go to dɔktɔ we de mɛn pikin dɛn pan dɛn kayn tin ya:

• If di pikin nɔ bin dɔn gi di pikin fayn fayn vaksin agens ``Pertussis''.
• If di pikin dɔn gɛt pɔsin we gɛt kɔf.
• If di pikin gɛt kɔf we de mek i vɔmit bad bad wan, we de wɔs.
• If fiva de wit kɔf.
• If yu nɔ ebul fɔ kip milk, fɔmula, ɔ it fayn fayn wan (bikɔs yu de vɔmit).

If yu pikin gɛt prɔblɛm fɔ blo ɔ in skin de tɔn blu/grey (luk in lip, finga dɛn), kɔl 911 wantɛm wantɛm ɔ go na di ɔspitul imejensi dipatmɛnt we de nia yu.

If yu (big pɔsin) na:

• If yu gɛt kwɛstyɔn bɔt di vaysin.
• If yu dɔn gɛt pɔsin we gɛt kɔf.

Di DTaP vaysin fɔ pikin dɛn ɛn di Tdap vaysin fɔ titi dɛn, uman dɛn we gɛt bɛlɛ, ɛn big pipul dɛn kin ɛp fɔ mek dɛn nɔ gɛt pertussis. Bɔt di mɔ we yu wet frɔm di las tɛm we yu shot, na di mɔ di shot nɔ go wok fayn. So aks yu dɔktɔ ustɛm yu ɔ yu pikin fɔ gɛt di shot.
