Yini i-otitis media nge-effusion?

Ishubhu le-eustachian likhipha uketshezi olusuka ezindlebeni zakho luye emuva komphimbo wakho. Uma ivala, i-otitis media nge-effusion (i-OME) ingenzeka.

Uma une-OME, ingxenye ephakathi kwendlebe yakho igcwala uketshezi, okungakhuphula ubungozi bokutheleleka endlebeni.

I-OME ivame kakhulu. Ngokusho kwe-Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality, cishe amaphesenti angama-90 ezingane azoba ne-OME okungenani kanye lapho eneminyaka engama-10.

Yini ebangela i-OME?

Izingane zinamathuba amaningi okuzwa i-OME ngenxa yokuma kwamashubhu azo eustachian. Amashubhu abo amafushane futhi anokuvuleka okuncane. Lokhu kwandisa ubungozi bokuvaleka nokutheleleka. Amashubhu eustachian ezingane nawo aqondiswe ngaphezulu ngokuvundlile kunabantu abadala. Lokhu kwenza kube nzima kakhulu uketshezi ukuphuma endlebeni ephakathi. Futhi izingane zinemikhuhlane ejwayelekile kanye nezinye izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane ezingazibekela uketshezi oluningi endlebeni ephakathi nokutheleleka okuningi kwezindlebe.

I-OME akusona isifo sendlebe, kepha ingahlobene. Isibonelo, ukutheleleka kwendlebe kungathinta ukuthi uketshezi luhamba kahle kanjani endlebeni ephakathi. Ngisho nangemva kokutheleleka sekuphelile, uketshezi lungahlala.

Futhi, ithubhu evinjiwe noketshezi oluningi kunganikeza indawo ekahle yokuba amabhaktheriya akhule. Lokhu kungaholela ekuthelelweni indlebe.

Ukungezwani komzimba, ukucasula umoya, kanye nezifo zokuphefumula konke kungadala i-OME. Izinguquko kumfutho womoya zingavala ishubhu le-eustachian futhi zithinte ukugeleza koketshezi. Lezi zimbangela kungenzeka ukuthi kungenxa yokundiza endizeni noma ngokuphuza ngenkathi ulele phansi.

Umbono oyiphutha ovamile ngukuthi amanzi endlebeni angadala i-OME. Lokhu akulona iqiniso.

Ziyini izimpawu ze-OME?

I-OME akuyona imiphumela yokutheleleka. Izimpawu zivame ukuba mnene noma zincane, futhi zingahluka ngokuya ngeminyaka yengane. Kepha akuzona zonke izingane ezine-OME ezinezimpawu noma ezenza noma ezizizwa zigula.

Olunye uphawu oluvamile lwe-OME izinkinga zokuzwa. Ezinganeni ezincane, ukuguqulwa kokuziphatha kungaba uphawu lwezinkinga zokuzwa. Isibonelo, ingane ingaphakamisela phezulu ithelevishini kunokujwayelekile. Bangadonsa noma badonse izindlebe zabo.

Izingane ezindala nabantu abadala abane-OME bavame ukuchaza umsindo njengongenakunyakaziswa. Futhi bangaba nomuzwa wokuthi indlebe igcwele uketshezi.

I-OME itholakala kanjani?

Udokotela uzohlola indlebe esebenzisa i-otoscope, okuyingilazi yokukhulisa enesiphetho esikhanyisiwe esisetshenziselwa ukubheka ngaphakathi kwendlebe.

Udokotela uzobe efuna:

• amabhamuza womoya ebusweni be-eardrum
• indlebe ebonakala ibuthuntu esikhundleni sebushelelezi futhi icwebezela
• uketshezi olubonakalayo ngemuva kwe-eardrum
• indlebe enganyakazi lapho kushaywa umoya omncane kuyo

Izindlela zokuhlola eziyinkimbinkimbi ziyatholakala. Isibonelo esisodwa yi-tympanometry. Kulolu vivinyo, udokotela ufaka iphenyo endlebeni. Uphenyo lunquma ukuthi lungakanani uketshezi olungemuva kwe-eardrum nokuthi lujiyile kangakanani.

I-acoustic otoscope nayo ingathola uketshezi endlebeni ephakathi.

Yelashwa kanjani i-OME?

I-OME ivame ukuzicacisa yodwa. Kodwa-ke, i-OME engapheli ingakhuphula ubungozi bokutheleleka endlebeni. Ungadinga ukubona udokotela wakho uma uzizwa sengathi kusenoketshezi ngemuva kwendlebe yakho ngemuva kwamasonto ayisithupha. Ungadinga ukwelashwa okuqondile ukukhipha izindlebe zakho.

Enye indlela yokwelashwa okuqondile amashubhu endlebe, asiza ukukhipha uketshezi ngemuva kwezindlebe.

Ukususa ama-adenoids nakho kungasiza ekwelapheni noma ekuvimbeleni i-OME kwezinye izingane. Lapho ama-adenoid enwetshiwe angavimba amanzi endlebe.

Ngingavimbela kanjani i-OME?

I-OME kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi yenzeke ezinyangeni zasebusika nezasebusika, ngokusho kwesibhedlela i-Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP). Ngenhlanhla, kunezinto ongazenza ukunciphisa ingozi yokuthuthukisa i-OME.

Amasu wokuvimbela afaka:

• ukugeza izandla namathoyizi njalo
• ukugwema intuthu kagwayi kanye nokungcola, okungathinta amanzi endlebe
• ukugwema izifo
• usebenzisa izihlungi zomoya ukugcina umoya uhlanzekile ngangokunokwenzeka
• sisebenzisa isikhungo sokunakekela izingane esincane, okungcono esinezingane eziyisithupha noma ngaphansi
• ukuncelisa, okusiza ingane yakho ukuthi imelane nokutheleleka endlebeni
• ukungaphuzi ngenkathi ulele
• ukuthatha ama-antibiotic kuphela uma kunesidingo

Imithi yokugomela i-pneumonia kanye nemikhuhlane nakho kungakwenza ungabi sengozini enkulu ku-OME. Bangavimbela ukutheleleka kwezindlebe okwandisa ubungozi be-OME.

Yiziphi izinkinga ezihambisana ne-OME?

I-OME ayihlotshaniswa nokulimala unomphela kokuzwa, noma ngabe uketshezi lwakha isikhathi esithile. Kodwa-ke, uma i-OME ihlotshaniswa nokutheleleka kwendlebe njalo, ezinye izinkinga zingenzeka.

Lokhu kungafaka:

• izifo ezinzima zendlebe
• cholesteatoma (ama-cysts endlebeni ephakathi)
• isibazi sendlebe
• ukulimala endlebeni, okwenza ukulahleka kokuzwa
• ukukhuluma noma ukulibaziseka kolimi okuthintekile

Uyini umbono wesikhathi eside we-OME?

I-OME ivame kakhulu futhi imvamisa ayibangeli ukulimala kwesikhathi eside. Kodwa-ke, uma ingane yakho iba nezifo eziphindaphindayo nezenzeka njalo endlebeni, xhumana nodokotela wakho ngezindlela zokuvimbela ukutheleleka okuqhubekayo noma i-OME. Kubalulekile ukunaka izinkinga zokuzwa ezinganeni ezincane ngoba lokhu kungadala ukubambezeleka kolimi isikhathi eside.
