Vaccines DPT Prevent Infection And I infect Of Convulsive Cough
The convulsive cough, coqueluche or whooping cough is a bacterial disease
acute, produced by the Bordetella bacillus pertussis and less frequent
by the Bordetella bacillus parapertussis. This disease is of greater gravity
in the minors of a year.
The convulsive cough is very serious, especially in the small boy and
the undernourished one, and extremely it bothers so much for which it
suffers it. It begins like a common and current state flu, but very soon
forcible entries of cough begin during which the patient lets breathe
(apnea), she is put made blue (cyanosis) and she expel one phlegm sticky.
Frequently the cough produces vomit, which can aggravate or originate
loss of weight. In the small children he is frequent who the whooping
cough is complicated with bronchopneumonia.
The convulsive cough is highly contagious when there is a contact prolonged
with the ill person, for example in the home, school, room cradles or
infantile garden.
The bacterium, that only lives in the human being, lodges in the mouth,
throat, and/or the nose of the infected person, transmitting itself by
direct bonding of person to person, by means of droplets of expelled respiratory
secretions when breathing, toser or to sneeze.
These droplets are also deposited in the hands of the patient when this
one takes them to the mouth or when sneezing and the bacillus are transmitted
through the objects that the ill person touches. The symptoms that the
convulsive cough presents/displays are: nasal flow, severe
cough, can be dry or can produce esputo, fever, vomits, diarrhea,
and attacks of asphyxia.
The main measurement to prevent this disease is the vaccination with
DPT. Its effectiveness is only obtained after the 3 dose, reason why it
is fundamental to maintain to the children with all his vaccines to the
day. Vaccine DPT is applied 2, 4 and 6 months of age, along with the Polio
and the Hib vaccine (against infections by Haemophilus influenzae
b). To the 18 months and 4 years of age, one administers
a vaccine reinforcement DPT and Polio.
A diagnosis and antimicrobial treatment early can diminish the severity
of the symptoms and to limit the period of I infect. The treatment is
based on antibiotic therapy like the eritromicina that reduces a little
the duration of the symptoms if it begins sufficiently early.
If the patient does not have his vaccination to the day, the corresponding
vaccine will be administered. The early vaccination of the children with
vaccine DPT is recommended and in addition the necessity to promote in
the population a measurement of suitable hygiene, as is important washed
tedious and frequent of hands, especially if contact with a case of respiratory
disease exists.
His doctor can deal the cough with medicines like codeine,
morphine,
hydrocodeina like elixir or narcotic tablets that little have that the
effects of the cough repress. With the children one is due to have well-taken
care of with this type of medicine because they are strong and can be
addictive when he takes it in excess. The cough is quite painful and this
type of medicine also suppresses pain.
Remember that when there are no symptoms this does not mean that this
cured. When his doctor prescribes penicillin always is due to finish the
treatment yet because the bacterium becomes immune against penicillin
and when penicillin returns the cough does not work and it can be fatal.
