Ungafa yini ngempela umkhuhlane uma uphilile? Ngeshwa, njengoba icala elibuhlungu lakamuva libonisa, impendulo inguyebo.

UKyle Baughman, oneminyaka engu-21 ubudala owakha umzimba wasePennsylvania, ubephile saka ngenkathi eba nalo mkhuhlane, kubika isiteshi sezindaba sendawo iWXPI. Lokho okwaqala njengekhala elingenacala, ukukhwehlela, kanye nomkhuhlane ngoDisemba 23 kwamfaka ku-ER ezinsukwini ezine kamuva-ngokukhwehlela okwandayo nomkhuhlane okhulayo. Ngemuva kosuku, uBaughman wabulawa wukuhluleka komzimba nokushaqeka okubangelwa umkhuhlane. (Okuhlobene: Ingabe yi-Flu, Cold, noma Winter Allergies?)

Ukufa ngenxa yezinkinga zomkhuhlane kwenzeka kaningi kunokuba ucabanga. Ngokwezilinganiso ezintsha zeCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, minyaka yonke abantu abafinyelela ku-650,000 emhlabeni jikelele babulawa yizinkinga zokuphefumula zomkhuhlane. Yize iningi lalaba bantu beshonile kwenzeka kubantu asebekhulile noma ezinganeni nakubantu emazweni ampofu, ukufa komakhi womzimba oneminyaka engu-21 akusiyona into ezwakalayo, kusho uDarria Long Gillespie, MD, udokotela we-ER kanye nenhloko yecebo lomtholampilo Ukwabelana ngokuhlanganyela. "Kukhona ukufa kwabantu abaphilile njalo ngonyaka, futhi kuyisibonelo esibalulekile sokuthi igciwane lomkhuhlane lingaba yingozi futhi libulale kanjani."

Noma kunjalo, izimo ezinjengalezi azisona isizathu sokwethuka lapho ukhwehlela kancane. “Akudingeki ukuba uphuthume ku-ER lapho ubona imfiva noma ubuhlungu bomzimba,” kusho uPeter Shearer, M.D., umqondisi womnyango wezimo eziphuthumayo esibhedlela saseMount Sinai eNew York. "Kodwa uma izimpawu zakho noma imfiva iba yimbi kakhulu, kufanele uhlolwe." Uma uqala ukuba nezimpawu zomkhuhlane (ikhala eligijimayo, ukukhwehlela, umkhuhlane ongaphezu kuka-102 ° F, ubuhlungu bomzimba), bheka udokotela wakho wokunakekela oyinhloko ukuze uqale kuTamiflu, okuyinto yokwelashwa kwamagciwane okungasiza ukunciphisa ubunzima be umkhuhlane."Kubalulekile ukusheshe uthole lokho, emahoreni okuqala angama-48," kusho uDkt. Shearer.

Into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukuvimbela izinkinga ezinkulu ezivela kumkhuhlane ukuthola umkhuhlane wakho. Yebo, umuthi wokugoma uyehluka ngokusebenza unyaka nonyaka, kepha usadinga wona. (Kuze kube manje, i-CDC ilinganisela ukuthi umuthi wokugoma ka-2017 usebenza cishe ngamaphesenti angama-39, ongasebenzi kangako kuneminyaka edlule ngenxa yegciwane elibi kakhulu elihamba kulo nyaka. Thola umkhuhlane wakho noma kunjalo!)

"Yize umuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane ungasebenzi ngamaphesenti ayi-100, wehlisa kakhulu amathuba akho okufa nezinkinga," kusho uDkt Gillespie. "Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi kubantu ababulawa umkhuhlane, cishe amaphesenti angama-75 kuya kwangama-95 abo awazange agonywe. Umuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane uyithuluzi elibalulekile ekuvikeleni sonke emkhuhlaneni nasezinkingeni zawo."

Lokho kusho ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi umuthi wokugoma awukuvimbelanga lokhu kufa okubuhlungu. "Noma umuntu enza konke kahle, uhlobo lwegciwane lomkhuhlane ukuthi lingadala ubunzima obukhulu, obubulalayo, okungekho noyedwa owayengabona noma avimbele," kusho uDkt Gillespie.

Uma uwubamba umkhuhlane, into ebaluleke kakhulu ongayenza ukuphumula, kusho uDkt Gillespie. “Izinhlobo zomkhuhlane zinzima kakhulu kulo nyaka, futhi umzimba wakho udinga ukuphumula, hhayi intela uqobo,” usho kanje. Okwesibili, hlala ekhaya. “Yonke imiphakathi idinga ukunakekelana lapho kubheduke ubhubhane olufana nalolu,” kusho uDkt. Shearer. Ngamanye amazwi, shayela abagulayo. Noma ucabanga wena angadabula phakathi kwalo, umuntu olidlulisela kuleligciwane kungenzeka angakwazi.

Abantu abaningi bazozizwa bengcono bebodwa ngokuphumula okuningi, uketshezi, nangemithi yokukhwehlela, kusho uDkt Gillespie. "Uma unezifo ezingalapheki ezifana nesifuba somoya, i-COPD, noma ezinye izimo ezingalapheki, ungahle uthande ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho ngemithi elwa namagciwane. Uma uthola ukuphefumula okuncane, ukudideka, ukuquleka, noma ukudinwa noma ukudideka, khona-ke funa ukunakekelwa ER."
