Lapaau i na ma'i ma'amau i ka wa hapai

na Patricia Hughes

ʻO ka hāʻule a me ke kau hoʻoilo e lawe mai i nā mahana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me nā mea ʻino. ʻOi aku ka maʻi o nā wahine hāpai, no ka mea, ua hoʻopau maoli ʻia ka ʻōnaehana pale i mea e pale ai i kou kino mai ka hōʻole ʻana i kāu pēpē. ʻO kēia hoʻohaʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i hui pū ʻia me ka piʻi ʻana o ka estrogen kiʻekiʻe, ka mea e pehu ai i nā mucous membranes o ke kino, hiki ke waiho iā ʻoe me ka weliweli. ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e noho maikaʻi ai i ka wā anu a me ka maʻi maʻi, ʻo ia ka hui pū ʻana o ka pale a me ka mālama ʻana inā loaʻa ʻoe i ka maʻi.

E kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i nā hōʻailona o [tag-ice] anu [/tag-ice] a i ʻole [tag-tec] flu[/tag-tec]. Manaʻo ʻia kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau palekana no nā wahine hāpai. ʻAʻole palekana paha kekahi mau lāʻau no kāu pēpē. Ma mua o ka ho'āʻo e hoʻokele i nā mea palekana a pono e pale ʻia, e kelepona i kāu kauka. Hiki iā ia ke haʻi iā ʻoe i ka mea palekana no ka pēpē a me ka maikaʻi no ka mālama ʻana i kāu mau hōʻailona.

He mea maikaʻi ke kuni inā ʻaʻole ʻoe hāpai. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o kou kino e hakakā ai i ka maʻi a he ʻano hana maikaʻi loa ia. Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke koʻikoʻi ke kuni ke hāpai ʻoe. Pono lākou e mālama koke. Hiki i ke kuni ki'eki'e ke kumu i ka wela o ke keiki. I ka wā hāpai mua, hiki i ke kuni kiʻekiʻe ke hoʻonui i ka pilikia o kāu pēpē i nā pōʻino neural tube. Inā e holo ana ʻoe i ke kuni, e kelepona i kāu kauka no ka ʻōlelo aʻo e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana.

Hiki i kāu kauka ke ʻōlelo aku i ka pana maʻi maʻi i kou wā [tag-cat] hapai [/tag-tec]. Ma muli o ka loli ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi i kēlā me kēia kau, pono ka pana hou i kēlā me kēia makahiki. ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ʻia ka pana no nā wahine āpau. Inā maʻi ʻoe i nā hua, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i ka pana flu. Hoʻoulu ʻia ka maʻi maʻi i nā hua no ke kano. E hoʻomanaʻo i ka pana ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi wale nō ke hāʻawi i ka pale no hoʻokahi ʻano o ka maʻi a ʻaʻohe mea maʻi ʻē aʻe. Pono ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe iho mai nā germs e pale ai i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi maʻi ʻē aʻe.

Aia kekahi mau ala ʻē aʻe e pale ai iā ʻoe iho i ke kau anuanu a me ka maʻi maʻi. Paipai nā Centers for Disease Control i kekahi mau ala e pale ai i ka maʻi. E noho mamao mai ka poe mai i kou hapai ana. ʻO ka pale ʻana i ka poʻe maʻi hiki ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka laha ʻana o nā germs a mālama iā ʻoe i ke olakino. Inā ʻike ʻoe e hele a puni ana ke anu a i ʻole ka maʻi maʻi, e noho ma waho o nā wahi lehulehu.

Holoi pinepine i kou mau lima a hoʻohana i nā disinfectants i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe e kōkua i ka pepehi ʻana i nā maʻi. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ka holoi lima pinepine ʻana he ala maikaʻi loa ia e pale ai i ka laha ʻana o nā maʻi. E hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā ʻili o kou home a me ka wahi hana me kahi mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe disinfectant. E kāpīpī i nā wahi me ka hoʻonā home i hana ʻia o ʻumi ʻāpana wai i hoʻokahi ʻāpana bleach e pepehi i nā germs i loko o ka lumi kuke a me nā wahi lumi ʻauʻau.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā wahine hāpai e hoʻāʻo e hilinaʻi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau maoli, ma mua o nā lāʻau lapaʻau inā hiki. ʻO kēia mau hoʻoponopono home e hōʻoluʻolu iā ʻoe. Aia nā hōʻike e hana maoli ana kekahi o nā lāʻau lapaʻau a ke kupuna wahine. Ua ʻike ʻia ka sopa moa ma nā haʻawina he ala maikaʻi ia e hoʻomaha ai i nā hōʻailona anu. E mālama pono i ka nui o ka wai e pale ai i ka dehydrated.

E moe i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai ʻoe i ka maʻi. E hoʻomaha nui e kōkua i kou kino e hoʻōla. E kākoʻo i kou poʻo me kekahi mau uluna e kōkua iā ʻoe e maʻalahi ka hanu. Inā ʻeha ʻoe, hiki i kahi humidifier i kau ʻia ma kahi pākaukau kokoke i kahi moena ke ala maikaʻi e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ai i kou ʻōpū me ka lawe ʻole ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau.

Kōkua ke kī me ka meli i ka ʻāʻī a me ka ʻeha ʻāʻī. E hana i kīʻaha kī mehana a hoʻohui i kahi teaspoon o ka meli. Hiki ke kōkua pū ʻia kou ʻāʻī ʻeha ma ke kāmu ʻana me ka wai paʻakai. E hoʻopiha i kahi kīʻaha wai mahana a hoʻoulu i kahi punetune o ka paʻakai. E hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ʻāʻī e hoʻopau i ka ʻeha o ka ʻāʻī.

Inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāu mau hōʻailona, ​​​​e kelepona i kāu kauka. ʻO kekahi mau maʻi, e like me ka bronchitis a me ka strep e koi aku i kahi lāʻau antibiotic. Na kāu kauka e hoʻoholo inā pono kēia a e kuhikuhi ʻo ia i kahi lāʻau antibiotic i palekana no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wā hāpai. E kelepona i ke kauka inā e ʻino koke kou mau hōʻailona a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i ka meaʻai a hopohopo paha no ka dehydration.

** E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia kēia ʻatikala e hōʻoia a mālama i kekahi maʻi a i ʻole nā ​​​​maʻi, akā kōkua i ka poʻe e hoʻomaopopo i kekahi mau maʻi maʻamau e hiki mai ana i ka wā hāpai. ʻAʻole hoʻi i manaʻo ʻia kēia ʻatikala e komo i nā mea āpau. E ʻoluʻolu e lawe koke mai i nā pilikia i kāu ʻoihana mālama ola. He manawa paʻakikī kēia no ka makuahine a me ka pēpē a ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke hakakā i ke anu a i ʻole ka maʻi maʻi ke hāpai ʻole, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hāpai. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kelepona ʻana a nīnau i kāu ʻoihana mālama ola ma mua o ka hana ʻole a loaʻa kekahi mea i ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi. **
