Ingaba umntwana wakho omncinci uhlala ekhwehlela kangaka? Ngaba yi-RSV? Makhe sithethe ngeenkcukacha!

Molo! Ukuba unomntwana omncinci ekhaya, kufuneka uhlale uxhalabile ngeengqele kunye nokukhwehlela kwakhe, akunjalo? Ingakumbi ngenxa yenani lezifo ezisasazeka kule mihla, kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuziva usoyika kakhulu xa umntwana omncinci efumana umkhuhlane. Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngesifo sokuphefumla esiqhelekileyo kubantwana abancinci, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha sinokuba sibi kancinci. Oku sikubiza ngokuba yi-'(RSV)' okanye `(Respiratory Syncytial Virus)'. Igama lisenokuvakala ngathi yinto enkulu, kodwa masiyiqonde ngokulula.

Ngoko ke, ithetha ukuthini le `(RSV)`?

Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokuba iindlela zomoya zabantwana abancinci zibuthathaka kakhulu, xa le ntsholongwane ingena, banokuba neengxaki zokuphefumla kunye neengxaki zemiphunga.

Njengokuba into ingena kwityhubhu encinci, iya kuvalwa ngokukhawuleza, ngokunjalo neendlela zomoya zabantwana abancinci ziya kuvalwa. Ngoko ke, ngenxa yale ntsholongwane ethi "(RSV)``, ezo ndlela zomoya zinokudumba, ziqokelele umhlwa, kwaye zivaleleke. Kulapho ke kuba nzima ukuba abantwana baphefumle.

Ngoko ke, ngaba usulelo lwe-RSV lunokuba yingozi?

Nangona i-RSV idla ngokuba sisifo esingephi esiphela kwiveki okanye ezimbini, ngamanye amaxesha inokuba yingozi kakhulu, ingakumbi kwiintsana ezincinci kakhulu kunye nabantwana abanezinye iingxaki zempilo . Makhe sijonge ezinye zezi meko:

• Isifo semiphunga okanye iBronchiolitis: Ukuba intsholongwane ye-RSV ibangela usulelo emiphungeni, oko kuthetha ukuba iingxowa ezincinci zomoya (iibronchioles) emiphungeni ziyadumba kwaye zivalwe yi-mucus, siyibiza ngokuba yiBronchiolitis. Okanye, usulelo emiphungeni ngokwalo (iPneumonia) lunokwenzeka . Kule meko, umntwana unokuba nobunzima bokuphefumla, aphefumle ngokukhawuleza, aze azive ngathi isifuba sakhe siyatsalwa xa ephefumla.
• Ngubani osengozini enkulu?
• Iintsana ezingekafiki ixesha: Ngenxa yokuba imiphunga yazo ingakakhuli ngokupheleleyo, zinokuchaphazeleka kakhulu lolu hlobo losulelo.
• Iintsana ezingaphantsi konyaka omnye ubudala: Ngenxa yokuba inkqubo yazo yokuphefumla isakhula, nazo zikwiqela elisengozini.
• Abantwana abanezifo zemiphunga, zentliziyo, okanye zenkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela: Umzekelo, ukuba umntwana one-asthma ufumana i-RSV, inokubangela ukuba i-asthma yakhe ibe mandundu. Inokuba yingozi nakubantwana abane-heart disease okanye inkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela ebuthathaka.

• Ukuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni: Ukuba umntwana unomkhuhlane, akafuni ukutya okanye ukusela, okanye uhlanza okanye urhudo, umzimba unokulahlekelwa ngamanzi aze aphelelwe ngamanzi emzimbeni. Ukuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni yimeko eyingozi kakhulu kubantwana abancinci.
