• Yiba nendlela yokuphila enempilo (ukulala, ukudla, ukuvivinya umzimba, njll.), ikakhulukazi ebusika. Bheka ishidi lethu elithi Ukuqinisa amasosha akho omzimba ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe.
• Ukungabhemi kusiza ukuvikela inyumoniya. Intuthu yenza imigudu yokuphefumula ibe sengozini yokuthola izifo. Izingane zizwela kakhulu kuwo.
• Geza izandla zakho njalo ngensipho namanzi, noma ngesisombululo esisekelwe otshwaleni. Izandla zihlala zithintana namagciwane angadala zonke izinhlobo zezifo, okuhlanganisa nenyumoniya. Lezi zingena emzimbeni uma uhlikihla amehlo noma ikhala nalapho ubeka izandla emlonyeni.
• Uma uthatha ama-antibiotics ukwelapha isifo, kubalulekile ukulandela ukwelashwa kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni.
• Qaphela izindlela zokuhlanzeka ezithunyelwe emitholampilo nasezibhedlela ezinjengokugeza izandla noma ukugqoka imaskhi, uma kunesidingo.

• Umuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane. Igciwane lomkhuhlane lingabangela inyumoniya ngokuqondile noma ngokungaqondile. Ngakho, ukudubula komkhuhlane kunciphisa ingozi ye-pneumonia. Kumele ivuselelwe minyaka yonke.
• Imithi yokugoma ethize. Umuthi wokugoma i-pneumococcal ivikela ngempumelelo ehlukahlukene ngokumelene ne-pneumonia ku Streptococcus pneumoniae, evame kakhulu kubantu abadala (ilwa ne-23 pneumococcal serotypes). Lo mgomo (i-Pneumovax®, i-Pneumo® ne-Pnu-Immune®) ukhonjiswe ikakhulukazi abantu abadala abanesifo sikashukela noma i-COPD, abantu abanamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka kanye nalabo abaneminyaka engama-65 nangaphezulu. Ukusebenza kwayo kuboniswe ngokugculisayo kubantu asebekhulile abahlala ezindaweni zokunakekela isikhathi eside.

   

  Umuthi wokugoma I-PrevenarI-® inikeza isivikelo esihle ngokumelene ne-meningitis ezinganeni ezincane, kanye nesivikelo esithambile ezindlebeni nasezifweni ze-pneumonia ezibangelwa i-pneumococcus. I-Canadian National Advisory Committee on Goma imela ukuphathwa kwayo okujwayelekile kuzo zonke izingane ezinezinyanga ezingama-23 ubudala noma ngaphansi ukuze kuvinjelwe i-meningitis. Izingane ezindala (izinyanga ezingama-24 kuye kwezingama-59) nazo zingagonywa uma zisengozini enkulu yokutheleleka. I-American Academy of Pediatrics nayo incoma lokhu mgomo.

   

  E-Canada, ukugonywa okujwayelekileI-Hemophilus influenza uhlobo B (Hib) kuzo zonke izingane ezisanda kuzalwa kusukela ezinyangeni ezi-2. Imithi yokugoma ye-conjugate emithathu ilayisensi e-Canada: i-HbOC, i-PRP-T ne-PRP-OMP. Inani lemithamo liyahlukahluka kuye ngeminyaka kudosi yokuqala.

Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukugcina isikhathi sokuphumula.

Ngesikhathi sokugula, gwema ukuchayeka entuthwini, emoyeni obandayo kanye nezingcolisa komoya ngangokunokwenzeka.

Uma izimpawu zenyumoniya ziqhubeka ngamandla afanayo ezinsukwini ezi-3 ngemuva kokuqala kokwelashwa ngama-antibiotics, kufanele ubone udokotela wakho ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka.
