Ingabe ingane yakho ivame ukuba nomkhuhlane? Ake sixoxe nge-RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)!

Ingabe ingane yakho encane ivame ukuba nomkhuhlane nokukhwehlela bese kuthatha isikhathi ukuba ngcono? Ngezinye izikhathi akuyona nje umkhuhlane ovamile. Namuhla sizokhuluma ngesifo esitholwa abantu abaningi, ikakhulukazi izingane ezincane, kodwa asikhulumi ngaso kakhulu. Leso yi-RSV, noma `(Respiratory Syncytial Virus)`. Ungakhathazeki, sizokhuluma ngalokhu kalula, ngendlela ongayiqonda.

Iyini i-RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)?

Kalula nje, i-RSV iyigciwane elithinta uhlelo lwethu lokuphefumula . Ingabangela izimpawu ezifana nomkhuhlane, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ingaba nzima kakhulu. Cabanga nje, leli gciwane livame kakhulu kangangokuthi cishe zonke izingane zizotheleleka ngalo okungenani kanye ngaphambi kokuba zibe neminyaka emibili ubudala . Kodwa-ke, amasosha omzimba esiwathola ngokuba nalo kanye awahlali njalo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi singayithola i-RSV izikhathi eziningana ekuphileni kwethu.

Sivame ukuzwa ukuthi izingane zinobunzima bokuthola i-RSV. Kuyiqiniso lokho. Ngoba amasosha omzimba ezinsana awakakhuli ngokugcwele. Futhi, izindlela zabo zokuphefumula zincane kakhulu , ngakho-ke uma leli gciwane lingena, lingavuvukala ngokushesha futhi lenze kube nzima ukuphefumula.

Abantu abadala nezingane zabo bonke ubudala bangathola i-RSV. Kodwa kubantu abadala, ivame ukuba khona njengomkhuhlane bese iziphelela yodwa. Kodwa-ke, abantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engu-65 kanye nalabo abanezivikeli mzimba ezibuthakathaka (okusho ukuthi abakwazi ukulwa nokugula) kudingeka baqaphele kakhudlwana. Basengozini yokugula kakhulu ngenxa yayo. Ngezinye izikhathi, ungayithola kabili ngonyaka ofanayo.

Ziyini izimpawu ze-RSV?

Izimpawu ze-RSV zingahluka kumuntu nomuntu. Izimpawu ezivamile zifaka:

• Ukukhwehlela
• Ubunzima bokuphefumula (ikakhulukazi ezinganeni ezincane, ukuphefumula kungase kubonakale kuyeka okwesikhashana)
• Impumulo egobhozayo noma evalekile
• Ukuthimula
• Umphimbo obuhlungu
• Ikhanda elibuhlungu (ikhanda elibuhlungu)
• Ukukhathala, ukukhathala
• Imfiva
• Isifiso sokudla

Lezi zimpawu zingase zibukeke zihlukile kancane ezinganeni ezincane kakhulu. Zingase zikhale, zixokozele, noma ziyeke ukudlala . Uma ingane yakho ingaphansi konyaka ubudala futhi inanoma yiziphi zalezi zimpawu, qiniseka ukuthi ubona udokotela.

Kufanele siye nini esibhedlela ngokushesha?

Ngezinye izikhathi lokhu kungaba kubi kakhulu. Uma wena noma ingane yakho ninezinye zalezi zimpawu, iya ekamelweni lezimo eziphuthumayo esibhedlela ngokushesha :

I-RSV yisifo esibangelwa yigciwane, hhayi igciwane . Ngakho-ke, ama-antibiotic awasizi. Nansi indlela esatshalaliswa ngayo:

• Ngokusondelana eduze nomuntu one-RSV.
• Kusukela kumaconsi amathe angena emoyeni uma ukhwehlela noma uthimula.
• Uma uthinta izinto ezifana namathoyizi, amatafula, izibambo zeminyango, amafoni angcoliswe yileli gciwane bese uthinta ikhala lakho, umlomo, noma amehlo ngesandla esifanayo.

I-RSV iyisifo esithelelanayo kakhulu. Ungasabalalisa igciwane kwabanye uma nje unezimpawu, ngokuvamile izinsuku ezintathu kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili. Ngezinye izikhathi ungasabalalisa igciwane kusenesikhathi sosuku noma ezimbili ngemva kokuvela kwezimpawu. Izingane ezincane kanye nabantu abanezivikeli mzimba ezibuthakathaka bangasabalalisa igciwane kuze kube amasonto amane ngemva kokuba izimpawu seziphelile. Igciwane lingaphila ezindaweni eziqinile njengamatafula amahora amaningi.

• Ukwehluleka kokuphefumula
• Ukwehla kwamazinga omoya-mpilo egazini (i-Hypoxia)
• Ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni (ukuntuleka kwamanzi emzimbeni)
• Ukutheleleka kwendlebe

Ubani osengozini enkulu yokuthola i-RSV?

Nakuba noma ubani engathola i-RSV, abanye abantu banamathuba amaningi okugula kakhulu ngenxa yayo:

• Izinsana ezingaphambi kwesikhathi nezingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka emi-2 ubudala : Izindlela zabo zokuphefumula zincane futhi zingavaleka ngokushesha.
• Abantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 ubudala .

• Kunemithi yokugomela i-RSV yabesifazane abakhulelwe kanye nabantu abaneminyaka engaphezu kuka-75 (noma abangaphezu kuka-60 abanezimo ezithile zempilo). Khuluma nodokotela wakho ngalokho okungcono kakhulu kuwe nomndeni wakho.
