Ukuthatha amayeza ukunyanga isifo sephepha

Isifo sephepha (TB) sisifo esosulelayo esibandakanya imiphunga, kodwa sinokudlulela kwamanye amalungu. Injongo yonyango kukunyanga usulelo ngamayeza alwa neentsholongwane ze-TB.

Unokuba nosulelo lwe-TB kodwa akukho sifo sisebenzayo okanye iimpawu. Oku kuthetha ukuba intsholongwane ye-TB ihlala ingasebenzi (ilele) kwindawo encinci yemiphunga yakho. Olu hlobo losulelo lungakho iminyaka kwaye lubizwa ngokuba yi-TB efihlakeleyo. Nge-TB efihlakeleyo:

• Awunakho ukusasaza i-TB kwabanye abantu.
• Kwabanye abantu, iibhaktheriya ziyakwazi ukusebenza. Ukuba oku kuyenzeka, usenokugula, kwaye usenokuzigqithisela ezinye iintsholongwane ze-TB.
• Nangona ungaziva ugula, kufuneka uthathe amayeza ukunyanga i-TB esafukamileyo iinyanga ezi-6 ukuya kwezi-9. Le kuphela kwendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba zonke iintsholongwane ze-TB emzimbeni wakho ziyabulawa kwaye awunalo usulelo kwixa elizayo.

Xa une-TB esebenzayo, usenokuziva ugula okanye ukhohlele, unciphise umzimba, uzive udiniwe, okanye ube nomkhuhlane okanye ukubila ebusuku. Xa une-TB esebenzayo:

• Ungayidlulisela i-TB kubantu abakungqongileyo. Oku kubandakanya abantu ohlala nabo, osebenza nabo, okanye onxibelelana nabo.
• Kufuneka uthathe amayeza amaninzi e-TB ubuncinci iinyanga ezi-6 ukususa ibhaktheriya ye-TB emzimbeni wakho. Kuya kufuneka uqale uzive ungcono kwinyanga enye ukuqala kwamayeza.
• Kwiiveki ezi-2 ukuya kwezi-4 zokuqala emva kokuqalisa amayeza, kusenokufuneka uhlale ekhaya ukunqanda ukusasaza i-TB kwabanye. Buza umboneleli wakho wezempilo xa kulungile ukuba kunye nabanye abantu.
• Umboneleli wakho uyalelwa ngumthetho ukuba axele i-TB yakho kwisebe lezempilo likarhulumente.

Buza umboneleli wakho ukuba ngaba abantu ohlala nabo okanye osebenza nabo kufuneka bavavanyelwe i-TB.

Iintsholongwane ze-TB zifa kancinci kancinci. Kufuneka uthathe iipilisi ezahlukeneyo ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo emini kangangeenyanga ezi-6 okanye ngaphezulu. Ekuphela kwendlela yokuphelisa iintsholongwane kukuthatha amayeza akho e-TB ngendlela eyalelwe ngumboneleli wakho. Oku kuthetha ukuthatha onke amayeza akho yonke imihla.

Ukuba ngaba awuwathathi ngendlela amayeza akho e-TB, okanye yeka ukuwathatha kwangoko amayeza:

• Usulelo lwakho lwe-TB lunokuba mandundu.
• Usulelo lwakho lunokuba nzima ukunyanga. Iziyobisi ozithathayo zisenokungasebenzi. Oku kubizwa ngokuba yi-TB enganyangekiyo ngamachiza.
• Kuya kufuneka uthathe amanye amayeza abangela iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezingaphaya kwaye abanako ukususa usulelo.
• Unokusasaza intsholongwane kwabanye.

Ukuba umboneleli wakho ukhathazekile kuba ungangawasebenzisi onke amayeza njengoko ayalelwe, banokulungiselela ukuba kubekho umntu oza kudibana nawe yonke imihla okanye amaxesha ambalwa ngeveki ukuze akubukele xa usela amayeza akho e-TB. Oku kubizwa ngokuthe ngqo ngonyango.

Abasetyhini abanokukhulelwa, abakhulelweyo, okanye abancancisayo kufuneka bathethe nomboneleli wabo ngaphambi kokuba bathathe la mayeza. Ukuba usebenzisa iipilisi zokuthintela inzala, buza umboneleli wakho ukuba amayeza akho e-TB angenza ukuba iipilisi zokuthintela inzala zingasebenzi kakuhle.

Uninzi lwabantu alunazo iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezimbi kakhulu ezivela kumayeza e-TB. Iingxaki zokujonga kwaye uxelele umboneleli wakho malunga noku kubandakanya:

• Achy amalungu
• Ukurhabaxa okanye ukopha ngokulula
• Ifiva
• Ukutya okungalunganga, okanye akukho kutya
• Ukucofa okanye ukuqaqamba ezinzwaneni, kwiminwe, okanye emlonyeni
• Isisu esibuhlungu, isicaphucaphu okanye ukugabha, kunye neempawu zesisu okanye iintlungu
• Isikhumba esimthubi okanye amehlo
• Umchamo ngumbala weti okanye iorenji (umchamo weorenji uqhelekile ngamanye amayeza)

Fowunela umnikezeli wakho ukuba unayo:

• Naziphi na iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezidweliswe apha ngasentla
• Iimpawu ezintsha ze-TB esebenzayo, ezinjengokukhohlela, umkhuhlane okanye ukubila ebusuku, ukuphefumla kancinci, okanye iintlungu esifubeni
