He aha te kirika? Ngā tohu, ngā take, me te rongoā

Ko te kirika tētahi o ngā whakautu taiao o tō tinana ki te whawhai ki ngā mate pukupuku, ā, ka piki ake te pāmahana o roto i tō tinana ki runga ake i te tawhā noa o te 98.6°F (37°C). Whakaarohia he mea whakamahana te pūnaha mate o tō tinana hei whakamate i ngā huaketo me ngā pūtau mate e kore e ora pai i ngā pāmahana teitei. Ahakoa kaore e pai te ahua o te kirika, ā, ka manukanuka pea koe, he tohu tēnei kei te mahi kaha tō tinana ki te tiaki i a koe me te whakaora i a koe.

He aha te kirika?

Ka puta te kirika ina piki ake te pāmahana o tō tinana ki runga ake i tōna tawhā noa, ka tae pea ki te 100.4°F (38°C) neke atu rānei ina inehia mā te waha. Ko te pokapū whakahaere pāmahana o tō roro, ko te hypothalamus te ingoa, ka mahi hei thermostat ka tautuhia ki te pāmahana teitei ake i te wā o te mate.

Ka puta tēnei pikinga pāmahana nā te mea ka tukuna e tō pūnaha mate ngā matū motuhake e kiia nei ko ngā pyrogens ina kitea e ia ngā kaiwhakaeke kino penei i ngā huaketo, i ngā pūtau rānei. Ka tohu ēnei matū ki tō roro kia piki ake te pāmahana o tō tinana, ka hangaia he taiao kāore e pai ki ngā huaketo, me te whakakaha i tō whakautu mate.

Ko te nuinga o ngā kirika he ngawari, ka ora ake ano i a rātou ake i te whawhai o tō tinana ki te take o te mate. Heoi, ko te mōhio ki te wā e hiahia ana te kirika ki te tiaki hauora ka āwhina i a koe kia whakapono ake ki te whakahaere i tēnei tohu noa.

He aha ngā tohu o te kirika?

Ko te tohu tino marama o te kirika ko te ahua wera, engari ka hoatu pea e tō tinana ētahi atu tohu kei te piki ake tō pāmahana. Ka rerekē ēnei tohu mai i te tangata ki te tangata, ā, ka puta mai, ka ngaro atu hoki i te wā e rereke ana tō kirika.

Ko ētahi o ngā tohu noa ka kitea e koe:

• Te ahua wera, ina koa i runga i tō rae, i tō uma, i tō tua rānei
• Te makariri me te wiri, ahakoa kei te wera koe
• Te wera nui atu i te noa

• Te ngenge, te ngoikore rānei
• Te ngaro o te hiahia kai
• Te maroke o te wai, te hiahia wai nui atu rānei
• Te uaua ki te aro, te whakaaro rānei

Ka kite pea koe kei te rereke koe i waenganui i te makariri rawa me te wera rawa, he mea noa tēnei i te wā o te kirika. Kei te mahi tō tinana ki te whakahaere i tōna pāmahana, ā, ko ēnei rerekētanga he wāhanga o taua mahi.

He aha ngā take o te kirika?

Ka puta te kirika ina whakautu tō pūnaha mate ki ngā whakaohooho maha, ko ngā mate pukupuku te take tino noa. Ka piki ake te pāmahana o tō tinana hei tikanga tiaki hei hanga i te taiao e kore e pai ki ngā mea kino, me te whakakaha i tō whakautu mate.

Ko ngā take tino noa:

• Ngā mate huaketo penei i te mate huaketo noa, te mate huaketo, te COVID-19 rānei
• Ngā mate pūtau penei i te mate korokoro strep, ngā mate mimi, te mate huhu rānei
• Ngā inopere tamariki, ka taea te whakaohooho i te kirika ngawari i te wā e hanga ana tō pūnaha mate i te tiaki
• Te mate kai mai i te kai poke, i te wai rānei
• Ngā mate taringa, ina koa i ngā tamariki
• Ngā mate sinuses e puta mai ana i te kōtiti roa

Ko ngā take iti ake engari he mea nui, ko ētahi rongoā, ngā āhuatanga mate ā-tinana kei reira te whakaeke o tō pūnaha mate i ngā kiko hauora, i ngā mate mumura penei i te mate wheori rānei. Ka taea hoki e te wera nui te whakaohooho i ngā tohu rite ki te kirika.

I etahi wā, ko ngā āhuatanga nui ake penei i ngā toto kōtiti, etahi mate pukupuku, i ngā whakautu mumura nui rānei ka taea te whakaohooho i ngā kirika roa e hiahia ana ki te aromatawai hauora tonu.

Nōhea te haere ki te taote mō te kirika?

Ko te nuinga o ngā kirika ka taea te whakahaere i te kāinga, ka ora ake i roto i ngā rā torutoru, engari ko ētahi āhuatanga e hiahia ana ki te tiaki hauora tonu hei whakarite i tō ora me te rongoā tika. Ko te mōhio ki ēnei tohu whakatūpato ka āwhina i a koe ki te whakatau tika mo te wā e rapu ai koe i te tiaki.

• Te mamae o te kopu nui
• Te pupuhi e puta mai ana i te wā o te kirika

Mō ngā pēpi kei raro i te toru marama te pakeke, ko tetahi kirika e hiahia ana ki te aromatawai hauora tonu, nā te mea kei te whanake tonu ō rātou pūnaha mate. Me rapu hoki ngā tamariki me ngā pakeke he pūnaha mate ngoikore, he āhuatanga hauora roa, i ngā rongoā e whakaiti ana i te mate rānei i te tiaki hauora i mua atu i te muri.

He aha ngā take morearea mō te kirika?

Ahakoa ka taea e te tangata te whiwhi kirika, ko ētahi take ka nui ake te morearea o te mate pukupuku me ngā āhuatanga e whakaohooho ana i te pāmahana o te tinana teitei. Ko te mōhio ki ēnei take morearea ka āwhina i a koe ki te tango i ngā whakarite tika me te mohio ki te wā ka nui ake pea tō morearea.

Ko ngā take e whakanui ana i tō tūponotanga ki te whiwhi kirika:

• Ngā tau pakeke – ko ngā pēpi, ngā tamariki iti, me ngā pakeke neke atu i te 65 tau he iti ake te kaha o te whakautu mate
• Te pūnaha mate ngoikore mai i ngā āhuatanga penei i te mate huka, te mate pukupuku, te HIV rānei
• Te tango i ngā rongoā e whakaiti ana i te mahi mate, penei i ngā steroids, i te chemotherapy rānei

• Te pokanga hou, i ngā mahi hauora rānei ka taea te whakauru i ngā pūtau mate
• Te hononga tata ki ngā tangata mate i roto i ngā whare, i ngā kura, i ngā wāhi mahi rānei
• Te kai kino, te ahotea nui rānei e whakaiti ana i ngā tiaki mate
• Te kore o te moe tika, e whakaiti ana i te mahi mate

Ka takaro hoki ngā take wa i tetahi wā, me ngā mate huaketo e tino noa ana i ngā marama o te ngahuru me te takurua i te wā e noho ana ngā tāngata i roto i te whare.

He aha ngā raruraru pea o te kirika?

Ahakoa ko te nuinga o ngā kirika ka ora kaore he raruraru roa, ko ngā pāmahana teitei rawa atu, te kirika roa rānei ka taea te arahi ki ngā raruraru e hiahia ana ki te whakauru hauora. Ko te mōhio ki ēnei take pea ka āwhina i a koe ki te tirotiro tika i tō āhuatanga me te rapu i te tiaki ina hiahiatia.

• Te tere o te ngakau e whakapau ana i te pūnaha ngakau
• Ngā koretake o ngā waipiro mai i te wera nui me te ngaro o te wai
• Te ngenge nui e ārai ana i ngā mahi o ia rā

I etahi wā, ko ngā kirika teitei rawa atu i te 106°F (41.1°C) ka taea te whakaohooho i te wera nui, he āhuatanga morearea e hiahia ana ki te tiaki hauora tonu i te hōhipera hei ārai i te kino o ngā kōpū.

Ko te nuinga o ngā raruraru ka taea te ārai mā te whakahaere tika i te kirika, te inu wai tika, me te tiaki hauora i te wā e puta mai ana ngā tohu whakatūpato. Ko te mea nui ko te tirotiro i ō tohu me te whakautu tika, kaua e waiho ngā tohu awangawanga kia kore e whakautuhia.

Me pēhea te whakatau i te kirika?

Ko te whakatau i te kirika ka tīmata mā te ine tika i te pāmahana, engari ka hiahia hoki tō kaiwhakarato hauora ki te mōhio ki te take hei whakarato i te rongoā tika. Ko te tukanga whakatau ka whakauru pea i te tirotiro tinana me ngā pātai e pā ana ki ō tohu.

Ka tīmata pea tō taote mā te ine i tō pāmahana mā te thermometer pono, ina koa mā te waha, mā te tūāpapa rānei mō te pānui tino tika. Ka tirotirohia hoki e ia ō tohu ora, tae atu ki te tere o te ngakau, te toto, me te manawa hei aromatawai i te whakautu o tō tinana ki te kirika.

Hei kite i te take, ka ui pea tō kaiwhakarato hauora ki:

• Te wā i tīmata ai tō kirika me te teitei o te pāmahana kua inehia e koe
• Ngā tohu katoa kua pāngia koe, ahakoa kaore e rite
• Ngā rongoā kua tangohia e koe mō te kirika me te āwhina rānei
• Ngā mahi hou, te haere, te pāngia rānei e te mate
• Ngā pātai e hiahia ana koe ki te ui ki tō taote

I runga i ō tohu me te tirotiro tinana, ka tūtohutia pea e tō taote ngā whakamātautau toto hei tirotiro i ngā mate pūtau, ngā whakamātautau mimi ki te whakapaehia he mate mimi, i ngā whakawhanaketanga korokoro mō te mate korokoro strep rānei. Ka hiahiatia pea ngā X-rays uma ki te pāngia koe e ngā tohu manawa me te kirika.

He aha te rongoā mō te kirika?

Ko te rongoā kirika ka aro ki te awhina i a koe kia pai ake te ahua i te wā e whawhai ana tō tinana ki te take, kaua e whakaiti i te kirika. Ko te whāinga ko te whakahaere i ngā tohu me te ārai i ngā raruraru i te wā e tautoko ana i te tukanga whakaora taiao o tō pūnaha mate.

Ka taea e ngā rongoā kore-tūtohu te whakaiti i te kirika me te kore e pai:

• Ka whakaiti te Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) i te kirika me te mumura, tangohia i ia 6-8 haora me te kai
• Me karo te Aspirin i ngā tamariki me ngā taitamariki nā te morearea o te mate Reye

Whai tonu i ngā tohutohu mo te horoinga, kaua e nui atu i ngā rahinga e tūtohu ana. Ki te pāngia koe e ngā raruraru ate, ngā whatukuhu, te tango rongoā rānei, tirohia tō kaiwhakarato hauora i mua i te whakamahi i ēnei kaiwhakaiti kirika.

Mō ngā mate pūtau, ka tāpui pea tō taote ngā antibiotics, engari kāore ēnei e āwhina ki ngā mate huaketo penei i te mate huaketo noa, te mate huaketo rānei. Ka tūtohu pea ngā rongoā antiviral mō ētahi mate huaketo ki te hopukina i te wā tika.

Me pēhea te whakahaere i te kirika i te kāinga?

Ko te tiaki kāinga he mea nui ki te whakahaere i te kirika kia ora, kia pai hoki te ahua i te wā e ora ana tō tinana i te mate. Ka taea e ēnei mahi tautoko te whakaiti i te kore e pai me te ārai i ngā raruraru kaore e whakawakia te mahi nui o tō pūnaha mate.

Ko te okioki tō taputapu nui mō te ora. Ka whakamahi tō tinana i te kaha nui ki te whawhai ki te mate pukupuku me te pupuri i te pāmahana teitei ake, no reira ko te moe nui me te karo i ngā mahi kaha ka āwhina i te whakahoki mai o taua kaha ki te whakaora.

Ko te pupuri i te wai pai he mea nui ina pangia koe e te kirika, nā te mea ka ngaro atu ngā wai atu mā te wera me te manawa tere:

• Inu wai, wai mā, i ngā tii tipu rānei i ia rā
• Karohia te waiū me te caffeine, ka taea te whakauru ki te maroke o te wai
• Kai ngawari, ngāwari ki te kai ina pai koe
• Whakaarohia ngā otinga waipiro ki te wera nui koe

Ka taea e ngā tikanga whakamarie tinana te awhina i a koe kia pai ake te ahua kaore e whakawakia ngā painga o te kirika. Kakahu kakahu māmā, manawa pai, whakamahia ngā whāriki māmā kaua ngā kākahu taumaha. Ka taea e te kaukau wera, te kaukau rānei te hoatu i te whakamarie poto, engari karohia te wai makariri ka taea te whakaohooho i te wiri me te piki ake o tō pāmahana.

Pupuri i tō taiao kia makariri, kia pai te hau, mā te whakamahi i ngā pūhau ki te hiahia, engari kaua e whakamahia ki te makariri.

Me pēhea te whakarite mō tō whakatau taote?

Ko te whakarite mō tō whakatau hauora ina pangia koe e te kirika ka āwhina i te whakarite kia whiwhi tō kaiwhakarato hauora i ngā korero e hiahiatia ana hei whakatau me te rongoā i tō āhuatanga. Ko te whakapau i te wā ki te whakarite i ō whakaaro me ō tohu, ahakoa kaore koe e pai te ahua, ka āwhina i te whiwhi i te tiaki pai.

I mua i tō whakatau, tuhia ngā korero matua mō tō wheako kirika:

• Te wā i tīmata ai tō kirika me te pāmahana teitei rawa kua inehia e koe
• Ngā tohu katoa kua pāngia koe, ahakoa kaore e rite
• Ngā rongoā kua tangohia e koe mō te kirika me te āwhina rānei
• Ngā mahi hou, te haere, te pāngia rānei e te mate
• Ngā pātai e hiahia ana koe ki te ui ki tō taote

Mau mai he rārangi o ō rongoā katoa, tae atu ki ngā rongoā kore-tūtohu me ngā taapiri, nā te mea ka taea e ētahi te mahi tahi me ngā rongoā kirika. Ki te pāngia koe e ngā āhuatanga hauora roa, kia rite ki te kōrero me pēhea te hono atu ki tō mate o nāianei.

Whakaarohia te kawe mai i tētahi mema whānau whakawhirinaki, i tētahi hoa rānei ki te kore koe e pai te ahua, ka taea e rātou te awhina ki te mahara ki ngā korero nui me te ui ki ngā pātai ki te uaua ki a koe te aro.

He aha te mea nui mō te kirika?

Ko te kirika te whakautu taiao, te whakautu pai hoki o tō tinana ki te whawhai ki te mate pukupuku, he tohu kei te mahi kaha tō pūnaha mate ki te tiaki i tō hauora. Ahakoa kaore e pai te ahua o te kirika, ka manukanuka pea koe, ko te nuinga o ngā kirika ka ora ake i a rātou ake i roto i ngā rā torutoru mā te tiaki kāinga me te okioki.

Ko te mea nui rawa atu hei mahara ko te kirika ehara i te mea morearea, engari he tohu mō tētahi āhuatanga e hiahia ana ki te aro. Aro ki te noho mārie, ki te pupuri i te wai, ki te okioki i te wā e tirotiro ana koe mō ngā tohu whakatūpato e tohu ana pea kei te hiahia koe ki te tiaki hauora.

Whakawhirinaki ki ō whakaaro mō tō tinana, kaua e whakaroa ki te whakapa atu ki tō kaiwhakarato hauora ki te manukanuka koe mō ō tohu, ki te roa atu rānei tō kirika i te wā e tumanakohia ana. Mā te tiaki me te aro tika, ka taea e koe te whakahaere i te kirika kia ora i te wā e tautoko ana i te tukanga whakaora taiao o tō tinana.

Me ngana rānei ahau ki te whakamutu i te kirika, ki te waiho rānei kia haere tonu?

Ko te nuinga, me aro koe ki te whakamarie kaua ki te whakamutu i te kirika, nā te mea ka āwhina te kirika i tō pūnaha mate ki te whawhai ki te mate pukupuku. Whakamahia ngā rongoā whakaiti kirika ina kore koe e pai te ahua, engari kaua e ngana ki te whakakore i te kirika. Waiho tō tinana kia pupuri i te pāmahana teitei iti i te wā e whakahaere ana i ngā tohu e whakawakia ana te okioki me te wai.

Ka taea te whiwhi kirika kaore e wera, kaore hoki ētahi atu tohu?

Ae, ka taea te whiwhi kirika kaore e wera, ina koa i ngā pakeke pakeke, i ngā tāngata he pūnaha mate ngoikore rānei. Ka makariri pea ētahi, ka wiri rānei kaua e wera, ā, ko ētahi ka ngenge noa, kaore rānei e pai te ahua. Ko te ine i tō pāmahana mā te thermometer te huarahi tino pono ki te kite i te kirika, ahakoa te ahua o tō whakaaro.

E hia te roa o te kirika i mua i te manukanuka?

Ko te nuinga o ngā kirika mai i ngā mate huaketo noa ka roa te 2-3 rā, me whakaatu ngā tohu pai ake i te rā tuatoru. Whakapa atu ki tō kaiwhakarato hauora ki te roa atu i te toru rā tō kirika, ki te tae atu rānei ki te 103°F (39.4°C) neke atu rānei, ki te puta mai rānei ngā tohu awangawanga penei i te uaua ki te manawa, te mamae nui o te upoko, te ruaki tonu rānei.

He mea haumaru te mahi tinana, te mahi rānei me te kirika iti?

He pai te okioki ina pangia koe e tetahi kirika, ahakoa he iti, nā te mea kei te whakamahi tō tinana i te kaha ki te whawhai ki te mate pukupuku. Ka taea e te mahi tinana te piki ake i tō pāmahana tinana, ka roa pea tō mate, ka kino ake rānei ngā tohu.
