Abazali bavame ukukhathazeka lapho ingane yabo ithola umkhuhlane. Kukhona ngisho negama ukuchaza ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi abazali bakhathazeka kanjani noma bakhathazeke kakhulu nge-fever-fever phobia.
Ngokusho kukaBarton Schmitt, MD, elinye lamagama amakhulu ekliniki yezingane kanye noprofesa wezokwelapha eThe Children's Hospital eDenver, "Ukukhathazeka okukhulu ngabazali mayelana nomkhuhlane akufanelekile."
Nakuba abazali bavame ukukhathazeka lapho ingane yabo ithola umkhuhlane, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi umkhuhlane uyisibonakaliso nje, njengokukhwehlela, impumu egijimayo, noma emqaleni.
Futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, izinga lomkhuhlane alisho ukuthi ugula kanjani ingane yakho.
Fever
I-fever imane iphakame ekushiseni komzimba wengane yakho ngaphezu kwamazinga avamile. Kwenzeka ekuphenduleni izinto ezithile ezenza umkhuhlane ubizwa ngokuthi i-pyrogens.
Lezi pyrogens zingaba yizinto ezivele ngaphakathi emzimbeni wakho futhi zikhishwa ngamaseli ekuphenduleni izifo, noma zingaba amagciwane abangela ukutheleleka ngokwawo, kubandakanya amabhaktheriya, amagciwane, kanye ne-toxins abakhiqizayo.
Ngokuphendula ama-pyrogens, amakhemikhali amaningi ngaphakathi komzimba wengane yakho asebenza ukuphakamisa i-thermostat yomzimba ekushiseni okusha, okuphezulu.
Kungani izingane zithola imfiva?
Kucatshangwa ukuthi ukuphefumula kukusiza ukuphazamisa ukukhula kwezifo ezithile futhi kusize ukuqinisa isimiso somzimba womzimba. I-American Academy of Pediatrics ichaza umkhuhlane ngokuthi "isibonakaliso esihle sokuthi umzimba ulwa nokutheleleka."
Yini Ebangelwa Ukushisa?
Abazali abaningi bacabanga ukuthi 'ukutheleleka' uma ingane yabo inomkhuhlane, kodwa kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ezinye izimo eziningi zingabangela umkhuhlane, ikakhulu uma ingane yakho inomkhuhlane omude noma umkhuhlane ngaphandle kweminye impawu yesifo.
Izimo ezivamile kanye nezinye ezingavamile ezibangelwa umkhuhlane zingabandakanya:
- Ukutheleleka ngegciwane lesandulela ngculaza (umkhuhlane, ubanda, i- RSV , i- roseola , isikhulu sezinkukhu , njll.)
- Ukwelashwa kwamabhaktheriya ( izifo zendlebe, umthambo we-strep , umkhuhlane omnyama , umkhuhlane we- pneumonia, umkhumbi onamagwala anamathambo, izifo zokungcoliswa kwamagciwane , njll)
- Ezinye izifo, okubandakanya ama-parasites (malaria) kanye nezifo ezifungayo
- Izifo ze-rheumatic , ezifana ne- juvenile rheumatoid arthritis ne-lupus
- Imiphumela emibi yemithi (imishanguzo yezidakamizwa), ukumpontshelwa igazi, kanye nemigomo
- I-Cancer (njenge-leukemia noma i-lymphoma)
- Imfiva yaseMediterranean yaseMediterranean, i-neutropenia ye-cyclic, isifo se-Kawasaki, nesifo somkhathi , i- aphthous stomatitis , i-pharyngitis, i-adenopathy (PFAPA)
Ngisho noma lolu luhlu olude lwezimbangela ezibangelwa umkhuhlane, khumbula ukuthi izifo ezilula zegciwane lesandulela ngculaza zizoba yisisusa esivame kakhulu emanzini amaningi wengane yakho.
I-Fever Treatments
Uma umkhuhlane uyinto enhle, ingabe lokho kusho ukuthi akufanele ukwenze?
Lokhu ngokuvamile kuxhomeke ekutheni ingane yakho izwa kanjani uma inemfiva. Njengoba umkhuhlane ungenza umntwana wakho azizwe ecasulwa futhi engakhululekile, kungaba umqondo omuhle ukunika ingane yakho umsizi we-fever uma umkhuhlane uholela kwezinye izimpawu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma imfiva ingakhathazeki ingane yakho, kungenzeka ukuthi ayidingi isidumbu somkhuhlane nhlobo.
Uma ucabangela ukwelashwa komkhuhlane wengane yakho, kufanele ushayele udokotela wezingane uma ingane yakho ibonakala igula (khathaza ukuphefumula, i-lethargic, ikhanda elibi kakhulu) nalapho:
- Insana engaphansi kwezinyanga ezimbili kuya kwezintathu ubudala inesimo esiphezulu noma ngaphezulu kwe-100.4 F (38.1 degrees Celsius)
- Usana olunezinyanga ezintathu kuya kwezinyanga eziyisithupha luba nesimo esiphezulu noma ngaphezulu kuka-101 F (38.3 degrees Celsius)
- Izinsana ezinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kwezingu-12 ubudala zinesikhashana noma ngaphezulu kuka-103 F (39.4 degrees Celsius)
- Ingane engaphezu kwezinyanga ezingu-12 inesikhashana noma ngaphezulu kuka-103 F (39.4 degrees Celsius) kanti umkhuhlane awuthuthuki ngamakhambi asekhaya kanye nokunciphisa umkhuhlane
Abahlengikazi abavamile abakwazi ukukunikeza izingane zihlanganisa i-acetaminophen (i- Tylenol ) ne-ibuprofen (i- Motrin noma i-Advil ), nakuba ibuprofen ivame ukunikezwa izinsana ezingaphezu kwezinyanga eziyisithupha ubudala. Khumbula ukuthi i-aspirin ayinikezwa izingane nezintsha ngenxa yengozi ye- Reye's syndrome .
Ezinye izifo zokwelapha ekhaya zingase zibandakanye ukunikeza ingane yakho iziphuzo ezingaphezulu zokuphuza, ukugeza okulula okuphuza, nokugqoka ingane yakho izingubo ezingaphansi.
Ama-thermometers
Njengoba manje kunezindlela eziningi zokuthatha ukushisa kwezingane , uma ufuna i-thermometer, ukubheja kwakho okuhle ukuthola ukuthi isidokotela sakho sesidakamizwa sinendlela ekhethwayo yokuba uthathe izinga lokushisa kwengane yakho. Nakuba indlela eyodwa engeyona engcono kunomunye, kungenzeka ukuthi udokotela wakho wezingane uthanda ngempela ukuthi usebenzisa i-thermometer yezindlebe, i-thermometer yesikhashana, noma i-mercury free thermometer yomlomo.
Nakuba ama-thermometer esesikhashana, osanda ukuwahlola phezu kwesikhumba somntanakho, futhi ama-thermometer endlebe athandwa phakathi kwabazali ngoba ayashesha futhi kulula ukuyisebenzisa, angabiza. Okulula kakhulu, i-mercury-free, i-thermometer ye-digital ayibiza kakhulu kepha ithatha isikhathi eside ukuze uthole ukufundwa, okungaba yinkinga uma unomntwana ohlukumezayo ongahlali umzuzu amaminithi angu-1 kuya kwangu-3.
Izwi elivela
Ungesabi lapho ingane yakho inomkhuhlane. Ngaphandle kokuba ingane yakho ishaye ukushisa , akunakwenzeka ukuthi izinga lokushisa kwengane yakho lizophakama ngokwanele ukuze libe yingozi.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi akufanele ukwesaba, noma kunjalo, akusho ukuthi kufanele uphazamise umkhuhlane wengane yakho. Ingane yakho ingabe igula kakhulu, njenge-meningitis, uma inomkhuhlane. Iphuzu eliyinhloko ukuthi ukugula okungathí sina kufanele kube nezinye izimpawu ngaphandle komkhuhlane ukukwazisa isimo sabo esibi. Isibonelo, ngaphezu komkhuhlane, izingane ezine- meningitis zingaba nezinwele ezinzima, intamo eqinile, nokuhlanza.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ingane yakho inomkhuhlane noma cha, ukushisa komzimba wakhe kuyoba cishe ngezinga eliphakeme ntambama nakusihlwa. Ukwehluleka ukukhwabanisa kuyinkinga eyodwa yokwenza umkhuhlane okhuphuka ngokushesha ezinganeni ezincane, kodwa ngisho nalezi zithintekayo azicatshangwa ukuthi ziyingozi, futhi izingane eziningi zivela kuzo njengoba zikhula.
