Okuqukethwe
Ngolunye usuku ekuseni lapho ingane yethu ivuka, sibona okuthile okungavamile esweni layo. Kwakheke ithumba elincane empandeni yenye yezinkophe zakhe futhi limzwisa ubuhlungu. Ucikica amehlo futhi kwesatshwa ukuthi uzobhoboza ngokuzenzakalelayo lokho okubonakala kuyi-stye (ebuye ibizwe ngokuthi “umngane we-oriole”!).
Yini i-stye
“Lesi isifo esibangelwa amagciwane ngokuvamile esibangelwa i-staphylococci esuke esikhumbeni yaya enkopheni. I-abscess ihlale itholakala i-flush nge-eyelash futhi ingaba ne-yellow tint ngenxa yoketshezi oluxubile oluqukethe. Ingase futhi ibe bomvu uma kukhona ukuvuvukala okuncane ”, kucacisa uDkt. Emmanuelle Rondeleux, udokotela wezingane e-Libourne (*). Inyama yengulube iqanjwe ngosayizi wayo olingana nowohlamvu lwebhali!
Izinkinga ezihlukahlukene ezingenzeka ze-stye
Kunezizathu eziningana ezingaholela ekwakhekeni kwe-stye ezinganeni ezincane. Isikhathi esiningi kuba ukucikica amehlo ngezandla ezingcolile. Ingane ibe isihambisa amagciwane kusuka eminweni kuya emehlweni ayo. Lokhu kungenzeka nakubantu abangenwa kalula yizifo, ikakhulukazi abanesifo sikashukela abancane. Uma ingane inama-styes ngokuphindaphindiwe, kungase kudingeke ukuthi uyihlole. Khona-ke kuyadingeka ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho.

Kodwa i-stye yisifo esincane. Ivamise ukuzihambela ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa. “Ungasheshisa ukuphulukiswa ngokuhlanza iso nge-saline engokomzimba noma amaconsi iso abulala amagciwane njenge-DacryoserumC,” kusikisela udokotela wezingane.

I-pu ekugcineni izophuma yodwa futhi ithumba lizodamba.
Nini ukubonisana ngenxa ye-stye?
Uma izimpawu ziqhubeka, ziba zimbi kakhulu noma ingane inesifo sikashukela, kuhle ukuthi uthintane nodokotela wakhe. “Angase anikeze amaconsi emithi elwa namagciwane njengasesikhundleni se-conjunctivitis, kodwa abe ngamafutha okufanele agcotshwe enkopheni.
