Yisikhathi somkhuhlane futhi ushayiwe. Ngaphansi kwesiminyaminya, ukhuleka konkulunkulu bokuphefumula ukuthi umkhuhlane hhayi umkhuhlane. Akunasidingo sokukhipha lesi sifo ngamehlo, ulinde ukubona ukuthi kuba yinkinga enkulu yini. Nakhu konke odinga ukukwazi mayelana nomkhuhlane ovamile uma uqhathaniswa nomkhuhlane.

Uma unenkinga enzima yokuhlukanisa phakathi komkhuhlane vs. umkhuhlane, lokho kungenxa yokuthi izimpawu zabo zingadlula. "Umkhuhlane uvela 'ekuhlonzweni okuhlukile' kwezimo eziningi ezithinta iziguli phakathi nezinyanga zasebusika, okuhlanganisa umkhuhlane ovamile kanye nezifo zokuphefumula eziphezulu neziphansi," kusho uNorman Moore, Ph.D., umqondisi wezifo ezithathelwanayo izindaba zesayensi ye-Abbott. Ngamanye amazwi, babelana ngezimpawu nezimpawu ezifanayo.

Uma sekushiwo lokho, uma kade ulima ebhokisini lezicubu, lokho kungase kube uphawu olulodwa lokuthi unomkhuhlane kunomkhuhlane. Ama-chills, ngakolunye uhlangothi, anganikeza ukuthi ngumkhuhlane. "Ukuthimula, ikhala eligudlukayo, nomphimbo obuhlungu ngokuvamile kubonakala kaningi ngomkhuhlane, kanti imikhuhlane, umkhuhlane nokukhathala kuvame kakhulu kubantu abanomkhuhlane," kusho uMoore.

Umehluko phakathi kwezimpawu zomkhuhlane uma uqhathaniswa nomkhuhlane awuwona osobala, kunanela u-Gustavo Ferrer, M.D., umsunguli weCleveland Clinic Florida Cough Clinic. Kepha isikhathi sokugula kwakho singaba esinye isici esivelayo. “Umkhuhlane ovamile ukhiqizwa igciwane njengomkhuhlane,” kusho uDkt. Ferrer. "Ngokuvamile, izimpawu ezibandayo ziba mncane uma ziqhathaniswa nomkhuhlane kanti umkhuhlane uvame ukuhlala isikhathi eside." Imikhuhlane ngokuvamile ayihlali isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinsuku eziyi-10. Umkhuhlane ungalingana ngobude obufanayo, kepha kwabanye abantu, imiphumela yomkhuhlane ingahlala emasontweni, ngokusho kwe-CDC.

Kunokuba ulinde izinsuku eziyi-10, uDkt. Moore uncoma ukuthi uxilongwe ekuqaleni kokugula kwakho ukuze ukwazi ukuqala ukwelashwa kusenesikhathi uma unomkhuhlane. Ungaya ehhovisi likadokotela noma emtholampilo ukuze uthole ukuxilongwa, futhi kwesinye isikhathi odokotela bangasikisela ukuthatha ukuhlolwa komkhuhlane ngokuqiniseka okwengeziwe.

Ukusuka lapho, ungalashwa ngendlela efanele. Alikho ikhambi lomkhuhlane, kodwa ukulungiswa kwe-OTC kungalungisa izimpawu. Uma kukhulunywa ngomkhuhlane, ezimweni ezibucayi kakhulu noma ezinobungozi obukhulu, odokotela bavame ukunikezela ngemithi elwa namagciwane.

Kafushane nje, umkhuhlane wabelana ngezimpawu nomkhuhlane ovamile kepha kungenzeka ukuthi uze nezimpawu ezinzima, uhlale isikhathi eside, noma uholele ezinkingeni ezinkulu. Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi isifo esithathelwanayo oye wagcina unaso, into eyodwa eqinisekile: Ngeke kube mnandi.
