Awukwazi ukunyakazisa lokho kukhwehlela? Ufuna ukugijimela kudokotela bese ucela i-antibiotic? Ilinde, kusho uDkt. Mark Ebel, M.D. Akuwona ama-antibiotic axosha imikhuhlane yesifuba. Isikhathi. (Bheka: Ungawususa Kanjani Umbani Obandayo Ngokushesha.)

UDkt. Ebel wenza ucwaningo olulula. Uprofesa wase-University of Georgia ubuze izakhamizi ezingama-500 zaseGeorgia ukuthi zicabanga ukuthi ukukhwehlela kuhlala isikhathi esingakanani. Ube eseqhathanisa izimpendulo zabo nedatha ekhombisa ukuthi ukukhwehlela kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani. Igebe lalikhulu. Ngenkathi abaphendulile bethi ukukhwehlela kuthatha izinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye, ucwaningo olushicilelwe lukhombisa ubude besikhathi esiyizinsuku eziyi-17.8, sisuka ezinsukwini eziyi-15.3 kuye kwezingama-28.6.

Endaweni ethile phakathi kosuku lwesikhombisa nosuku 17.8, abantu abaningi baya kudokotela ukuthola ama-antibiotic angadingi. Yingakho uDkt. Ewell ethi nguyena owagunyaza ucwaningo.

"Asinasineke kuleli. Sifuna izinto zishise manje futhi zisheshe," usho kanje.

Ngemikhuhlane yesifuba, u-Ebell uthi ama-antibiotic kufanele athathwe yilabo asebekhulile kakhulu-abancane kakhulu nabadala kakhulu-kanye nalabo abanesifo samaphaphu esingapheliyo, ukuphefumula okuncane, ukuphefumula okukhulu, noma ukuqina esifubeni sabo, noma yilabo abakhwehlela igazi noma isikhwehlela esinombala onsundu noma okokugqwala. Uyanezela ukuthi uma wena noma othandekayo uzizwa udabuke kakhulu uze ukhathazeke, bonana nodokotela.

Labo abafuna ama-antibiotics ngomkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane bayawushaya indiva umthetho oyisisekelo wezokwelapha. Ama-antibiotic alapha kuphela izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane. Azikwazi ukwelapha izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane ezifana nemikhuhlane, umkhuhlane, ukukhwehlela okuningi, i-bronchitis, amakhala, kanye nomphimbo obuhlungu obungabangelwa yi-strep. (Lokhu kuzokusiza unqume ukuthi ngabe umkhuhlane, umkhuhlane, noma ukungezwani komzimba.)

Kungani odokotela bewanikeza? Ukungaqiniseki, ingcindezi yesikhathi, ingcindezi yezezimali, kanye nokwenzelela ekuthatheni izinyathelo, okuyisifo esihlukunyezwe ngudokotela nesiguli. I-Action bias ithi uma ubhekene nenkinga, umuntu uzokhetha isenzo kunokungenzi lutho ukuze agweme ukuzisola.

Kungukukhetha okuholela ezigulini nakubanikazi babo bomshuwalense bachitha imali eningi kuma-antibiotic angabadingi, ngaleyo ndlela bakhuphule izindleko ngaphakathi kwalokho osekuvele kuyisistimu yezempilo ebiza kakhulu emhlabeni.

Kunemiphumela engemihle nayo. Ama-antibiotic angashiya iziguli zisengozini yokuhlushwa isicanucanu, ukuhlanza nokuhuda. I-antibiotic ecwaninga amabhaktheriya emaphashini akho izokuzingela esiswini sakho, futhi, lapho ingabulala khona "amagciwane amahle" ohlelweni lwakho lokugaya ukudla. Sawubona, indlu yokugezela.

Kukhona nemithelela yomphakathi futhi. Amagciwane angakwazi ukumelana nemithi elwa namagciwane, futhi ngenxa yokuthi abantu bachitha amagciwane njalo, lokho kumelana kungadlulela kulabo abaseduze kwakho, kubenze bamelane kakhulu nama-antibiotics. (Futhi akuyona into yesikhathi esizayo: amabhaktheriya amelana nama-antibiotic asevele eyinkinga-kuhlanganisa nama-STD superbugs angamelana namagciwane.)

U-Ebell uyazwelana neziguli ezifuna ukuzizwa zingcono, ikakhulukazi lezo ezingenazo izinsuku zokugula ezifisa ukusebenza. (Ngerekhodi, empeleni abaseMelika kufanele bathathe izinsuku zokugula kakhulu.) Usikisela uhlobo lwemithi ethengiswayo, amakhambi asekhaya nokuphumula. “Yenza zonke lezo zinto umama wakho akutshele ukuba uzenze,” usho kanje.
