Die departement van gesondheid doen \u2019n beroep op Suid-Afrika\u00adners om voorsorgmaatre\u00ebls te tref om hulself teen respiratoriese infeksies te beskerm, wat na verwagting in die winter sal toeneem.<\/p>\n
Respiratoriese sinsitiale virus (RSV) is nou op piek-sirkulasie terwyl griepinfeksies begin toeneem. Covid-19 gaan ook steeds op lae vlakke sirkuleer.<\/p>\n
Aangesien die griepvirus reeds in omloop is, is daar \u2019n kans dat mense by byeenkomste of die werkplek kan aansteek.<\/p>\n
Die departement het ges\u00ea dit is raadsaam vir mense \u2013 veral diegene met \u2019n ho\u00eb risiko van ernstige griep, soos volwassenes van 65 jaar en ouer, mense met onderliggende siektes soos hart- en longsiektes, mense met MIV en tuberkulose, en swanger vroue \u2013 om die griep-entstof te kry om ernstige gesondheidsprobleme te voorkom ingeval hulle die virus opdoen,<\/p>\n
Mense kan die risiko om griep te kry verminder deur groot byeenkomste met baie mense te vermy, \u2019n masker te dra, gereeld hande te was en eerder buite byeen te kom.<\/p>\n
Die Wes-Kaapse gesondheidsdeparte\u00adment s\u00ea om \u2019n veiliger winterseisoen te h\u00ea, moet mense weet wat die simptome is waarvoor hulle moet uitkyk en inge\u00ebnt word, stappe doen om hulself en ander te beskerm en tuisbly indien hulle siek is.<\/p>\n
Griep is in die algemeen erger as verkoue. In die geval van griep voel \u2019n mens binne \u2019n paar uur siek met koors, boonste respiratoriese simptome soos \u2019n toe of lopende neus, asook moegheid, spierpyn, lyfseer, hoofpyn, koue rillings en dan weer tye van warm sweet.<\/p>\n
In die geval van verkoue het \u2019n mens \u2019n geblokte of loopneus, maar dit lei gewoonlik nie tot ernstige komplikasies nie.<\/p>\n
Griep kan tot ernstige komplikasies lei, insluitend longontsteking.<\/p>\n
Longontsteking is die gevolg van \u00f3f \u2019n virale infeksie van griep alleen \u00f3f weens \u2019n bykomende sekond\u00eare bakteri\u00eble infeksie.<\/p>\n
In die geval van griep kan komplikasies ook insluit dat \u2019n mens se hart, brein of spiere inflammasie kry, of dat orgaan\u00adversaking intree wanneer die griepvirus na ander organe versprei.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Inenting teen griep kan \u2019n mens nie griep gee nie. Die inenting neem wel twee weke voordat dit werk, dus kan \u2019n mens in daardie tyd aansteek.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Mens moet elke jaar \u2019n nuwe inenting teen griep kry omdat die virusse jaarliks ietwat van mekaar verskil.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Inenting teen griep is nie 100% doeltreffend nie en dit hang af van die ouderdom of gesondheid van die pasi\u00ebnt wat inge\u00ebnt is. <\/p>\n
Die doeltreffendheid van \u2019n griep-inenting wissel ook jaarliks afhangend van hoe die entstof ooreenstem met die bepaalde griepvirus wat in omloop is.<\/p>\n
Mense moet hul hande gereeld met seep en water was of met \u2019n alkoholbasis-handreiniger skoonmaak en moet kontak vermy met mense wat siek is.<\/p>\n
Die griepvirus versprei hoofsaaklik van mense wat griep onder lede het en hoes, nies of met jou praat.<\/p>\n
Dit versprei ook op \u2019n besmette oppervlak, byvoorbeeld \u2019n deurhandvatsel, as \u2019n mens daaraan raak en daarna aan jou mond, o\u00eb of neus raak.<\/p>\n
Griep-entstof is gratis in openbare klinieke beskikbaar (pasi\u00ebnte wat eerste inkom word eerste gehelp) en is vir mense in die risikogroepe.<\/p>\n
Die entstof kan ook in die private sektor by apteke gekoop word, ook vir diegene wat nie in een van die risikogroepe val nie, maar hulself teen griep wil beskerm.<\/p>\n
Mense wat met griep besmet is, is gewoonlik vir drie tot agt dae aansteeklik.<\/p>\n
Voorkomende maatre\u00ebls soos die dra van maskers en veilige fisieke afstande word aanbeveel. Diegene met griep word gevra:.<\/span><\/span> bedek jou neus en mond wanneer jy hoes of nies;.<\/span><\/span><\/span> bly by die huis as jy siek is;.<\/span><\/span> moenie met ongewaste hande aan jou gesig raak nie; en.<\/span><\/span> vermy noue kontak met ander wanneer jy siek is, soos soen, handskud en koppies en eetgerei deel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die
