Iyini ngempela le mpumulo evalekile?

Kalula nje, ukuminyana kwesifuba kuwukunqwabelana kwamafinyila emigudwini yomoya ngaphakathi kwesifuba sakho. Cabanga ngakho, izingxenye ezingezansi zesimiso sethu sokuphefumula, okuyi-trachea, i-bronchi, namaphaphu, zidinga inani elithile lomswakama ukuze zisebenze kahle. Ukuze zigcine lo mswakama, imizimba yethu ikhiqiza ngokwemvelo into ebizwa ngokuthi i-finyila. Lokhu kuvame ukuba yifilimu encane kakhulu.

Kodwa-ke, uma lo mucus ukhula ngenxa yokutheleleka noma esinye isizathu, noma uma u-mucus uba mkhulu kunalokho okufanele ube yikho, yilapho inkinga iqala khona. Lo mucus ojiyile uphazamisa ukuphefumula, okwenza kube nzima ngamaphaphu ukuthola umoya-mpilo owanele. Yilokhu esikuzwa njengobunzima noma ukuqina esifubeni. Ngezinye izikhathi, lesi simo singase senzeke ngenxa yoketshezi olugcwalisa amaphaphu (Pulmonary Edema).

Kuvamile futhi ukukhwehlela uma kukhona ulwelwesi esifubeni. Lokhu kukhwehlela kungafika ngezindlela ezimbili eziyinhloko.

Uhlobo lokukhwehlela	Izici
Ukukhwehlela Okuphumelelayo/Okumanzi	Lokhu kuvumela ukuthi i-mucus ikhuphukele emphinjeni uma ukhwehlela bese ikhishwa. Lokhu kuhlanza imigudu yokuphefumula kancane. Kodwa-ke, ezinganeni ezincane, kunzima ukukhipha i-mucus, ngakho zingase ziyigwinye futhi.
Ukukhwehlela Okungakhiqizi/Okomile	Kulokhu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhwehlela kangakanani, i-mucus ayiphumi. Kumane nje kuwukukhwehlela okubuthakathaka, njengokungathi uhlanza umphimbo wakho. Akususi imigudu yokuphefumula.

Yiziphi izimbangela eziyinhloko zokuminyana kwesifuba?

Kunezimbangela eziningi zokuminyana kwesifuba. Ezivame kakhulu izifo zokuphefumula eziphansi. Kungabangelwa nezinye izimo ezingathelelani.

Uhlobo lwesizathu	Izibonelo
Izifo Zokuphefumula
Izifo ezivame kakhulu	I-Bronchitis Inyumoniya I-Bronchiolitis - (ikakhulukazi phakathi kwezingane ezincane)
Amagciwane abangela lokhu kutheleleka	Umkhuhlane Ovamile Umkhuhlane I-Covid-19 Igciwane le-RSV Ukukhohlela okubi Isifo sofuba
Ezinye Izimo Ezingathelelani
Ezinye izifo nezimbangela	Isifuba Somoya kanye Nokungezwani Komzimba Ukwehluleka Kwenhliziyo I-COPD (Isifo Esingapheli Sokuvimbela Amaphaphu) - (Esivame kakhulu phakathi kwababhemayo) I-Gastritis (GERD) ibangela ukuthi i-asidi yesisu ikhuphukele emphinjeni Ukuphefumula kwezinhlayiya zothuli ezincane (isb. i-silica) Ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi, insangu, njll. (kufaka phakathi ukubhema nokubhema i-vaping) Izifo zofuzo ezifana ne-cystic fibrosis

Kuphathwa kanjani lokhu?

Ukwelashwa kokuminyana kwesifuba kuncike embangela eyinhloko. Izindlela zokwelapha zingahlukaniswa ngezigaba ezimbili eziyinhloko.

Ukwelashwa okunikezwa udokotela

Uma ubona udokotela, uzokuxilonga bese ekubhalela imithi efanele isimo sakho. Eminye imithi ingathengwa ngaphandle kwekhawuntara, kanti eminye idinga incwadi kadokotela.

Ama-Expectorants: Lawa asiza ekunciphiseni ulwelwesi olujiyile futhi enze kube lula ukukhwehlela.
Ama-decongestant: Lawa anciphisa ukuvuvukala kanye nokuqongelela kwama-mucus emigwaqweni yomoya.
Ama-Antihistamine: Lawa ayasiza uma ukuqubuka kwakho kubangelwa ukungezwani komzimba.
Ama-antibiotic noma imithi yokulwa namagciwane yokutheleleka: Ama-antibiotic azonikezwa uma imbangela kuyigciwane elibangelwa amagciwane kanti ama-antiviral azonikezwa uma kuyigciwane elibangelwa amagciwane.

Kubaluleke kakhulu: Unganiki izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-6 ubudala ama-syrups okukhwehlela athengwe emakhemisi ngaphandle kokubonisana nodokotela wakho kuqala. Eminye imithi ayifanele izingane ezincane. Ngakho-ke funa iseluleko sezokwelapha njalo.

Izindlela zokwelapha ongayenza ekhaya

Ezimweni eziningi, ukuminyana kwesifuba kungalawulwa ngemithi elula yasekhaya.

Ukuphefumula ngomusi: Kuhle kakhulu ukufudumala amanzi nokuphefumula umusi ophuma kuwo. Ungakwenza lokhu ngokuthela amanzi ashisayo esitsheni, umboze ikhanda lakho ngethawula, bese uphefumula umusi. Noma ungathola le nzuzo ngokugeza ngamanzi ashisayo.
Phuza amanzi amaningi kanye noketshezi: Phuza okungenani izingilazi zamanzi ezingu-8 ngosuku. Ukuphuza amanzi afudumele, i-cilantro, kanye nesobho kungasiza ekunciphiseni uketshezi olujiyile futhi kwenze kube lula ukukhwehlela.
Ukuxubha ngamanzi anosawoti: Ncibilikisa ithisipuni likasawoti engilazini yamanzi afudumele bese uxubha lawo manzi izikhathi eziningana ngosuku ukuze unciphise ukuvuvukala nokulunywa emphinjeni.
Uju: Ukwengeza ithisipuni elilodwa loju enkomishini yetiye elishisayo kungadambisa umphimbo obuhlungu futhi kunciphise ukukhwehlela. (Kodwa-ke, unganiki uju ezinganeni ezingaphansi konyaka owodwa. )

Lesi simo kufanele sivame ukuxazululeka zingakapheli izinsuku ezimbalwa ngokunakekelwa ekhaya. Kodwa-ke, uma ukuminyana kwesifuba sakho kungathuthuki zingakapheli izinsuku ezimbalwa, noma uma kuba kubi kakhulu, kufanele nakanjani ubone udokotela.

Futhi, uma unezinye zezimpawu ezilandelayo kanye nokuqina kwesifuba, kungaba yisimo esiphuthumayo. Yiya eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo wesibhedlela esiseduze (i-ETU) ngokushesha.

Izimpawu eziyisixwayiso ezidinga ukunakekelwa okuphuthumayo
🚨 Ubuhlungu obukhulu esifubeni noma ingcindezi	Ungakushayi indiva lokhu ngoba kungaba uphawu lokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo.

🚨 Ubunzima obukhulu bokuphefumula (i-Dyspnea)	Uma unenkinga yokuphefumula ngisho nalapho uhleli, udinga ukwelashwa ngokushesha.
🚨 Ukushintsha kombala wesikhumba, izindebe, noma izinzipho (i-Cyanosis)	Lokhu kusho ukuthi umzimba awutholi umoya-mpilo owanele.

Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya

Ukuminyana esifubeni kuyisimo esivame kakhulu futhi ngokuvamile asisibi kakhulu, kodwa futhi kungaba uphawu lwesifo.
Izindlela zokwelapha zasekhaya, njengokuphuza amanzi amaningi nokufutha ngesisi, zivame ukunikeza impumuzo.
Uma isimo sakho singathuthuki ezinsukwini ezimbalwa noma siba sibi kakhulu, qiniseka ukuthi ubona udokotela.
Unganiki izingane ezincane umuthi, ikakhulukazi ama-syrup okukhwehlela, ngaphandle kweseluleko sikadokotela.
Uma unezimpawu eziyisixwayiso ezifana nobuhlungu besifuba, ubunzima bokuphefumula, noma ukukhwehlela igazi, hamba uye eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU) wesibhedlela ngokushesha.
