Ingabe kufanele ngiphume ithumba lami?

Uma uba nethumba, ungahle ulingeke ukuthi ulivule noma ulikhansele (livulwe ngethuluzi elibukhali) ekhaya. Ungakwenzi lokhu. Kungasabalalisa ukutheleleka futhi kwenze amathumba abe mabi kakhulu.

Amathumba akho angaqukatha amagciwane angaba yingozi uma engelashwa kahle. Uma amathumba akho ebuhlungu noma engapholi, yihlole kudokotela wakho. Kungadinga ukuthi bavule ngokuhlinzwa bese bekhipha amathumba bese benikeza ama-antibiotic.

Yini ithumba?

Amathumba abangelwa ukuvuvukala kwesikhumba sezinwele noma indlala yezithukuthuku. Imvamisa, igciwane I-Staphylococcus aureus kubangela lokhu ukuvuvukala.

Ithumba livame ukuvela njengesigaxa esiqinile ngaphansi kwesikhumba. Bese sikhula sibe ukukhula okuqinile okufana nebhaluni ngaphansi kwesikhumba njengoba kugcwala ubomvu. Amathumba ngokuvamile avela emifantwini noma ezindaweni lapho izithukuthuku namafutha kungakha khona, njenge:

• ngaphansi kwezingalo
• indawo okhalweni
• izinqa
• ngaphansi kwamabele
• indawo yokububula

Ithumba livamise ukuba nendawo emhlophe noma ephuzi, ebangelwa ubomvu obungaphakathi kuyo. Ithumba lingasakazeka nakwezinye izindawo zesikhumba. Iqoqo lamathumba elixhunywe komunye nomunye ngaphansi kwesikhumba kuthiwa yi-carbuncle.

Ukuzinakekela ngamathumba

Ithumba lingaziphilisa ngokwalo. Kodwa-ke, kungaba buhlungu kakhulu njengoba ubomvu buqhubeka nokwanda ku-lesion. Esikhundleni sokuvela noma ukucosha emathunjini, okungaholela ekuthelelekeni, phatha ngamathumba ngokunakekela. Landela lezi zinyathelo:

1. Sebenzisa indwangu ehlanzekile efudumele ukufaka icompress emathunjini. Ungakuphinda lokhu kaningana ngosuku ukuze ukhuthaze amathumba ukuthi afike ekhanda bese ekhipha.
2. Gcina indawo ihlanzekile. Geza izandla zakho ngemuva kokuthinta indawo ethintekile.
3. Uma amathumba ebuhlungu, thatha isidambisi sobuhlungu sasesitolo, njenge-ibuprofen (Advil) noma i-acetaminophen (iTylenol).
4. Uma livulekile, ithumba lingakhala noma liphume uketshezi. Lapho nje amathumba esevulekile, wimboze ukuze uvikele ukutheleleka esilondeni esivulekile. Sebenzisa i-gauze noma iphedi yokumunca ukuvimbela ubomvu ekusakazekeni. Shintsha i-gauze noma iphedi njalo.

Ukwelashwa kwamathumba

Uma amathumba akho engapholi ngokwelashwa kwasekhaya, ungahle udinge ukubona udokotela wakho. Ukwelashwa kungafaka:

• ama-antibiotic e-topical noma omlomo
• imbobo yokuhlinzwa
• ukuhlolwa ukuthola imbangela yamathumba

Ukwelashwa ngokuhlinzwa ngokuvamile kuhilela ukukhipha amathumba. Udokotela wakho uzokwenza imbobo encane ebusweni bamathumba. Bazosebenzisa okokumunca okumunca okufana ne-gauze ukucwilisa ubomvu ngaphakathi kwamathumba.

Ungazami lokhu ekhaya. Ikhaya lakho aliyona indawo oyinyumba njengesibhedlela. Usengozini yokuthola ukutheleleka okungathi sína noma isibazi.

Ungabiza nini udokotela

Bheka udokotela wakho uma ngamathumba akho:

• iba yimbi ngokushesha
• kuhambisana nomkhuhlane
• ayikaze ithuthuke emasontweni amabili noma ngaphezulu
• inkulu kunamayintshi amabili ububanzi
• kuhambisana nezimpawu zokutheleleka

Umbono

Melana nesifiso sokukhetha bese upheka amathumba akho. Esikhundleni salokho, sebenzisa ukucindezela okufudumele futhi ugcine indawo ihlanzekile.

Uma amathumba akho engathuthuki phakathi kwamasonto amabili noma ekhombisa uphawu lokutheleleka okungathi sína, thintana nodokotela wakho. Bangancoma ukuthi banciphise amathumba futhi bangalikhiphi futhi bangase bakunikeze nama-antibiotic.
