Bulutong

-
Ang bulutong ay uso na naman ngayong tag-araw. Ang mga may bulutong, lalo na ang mga bata ay dapat magpahingang mabuti at dapat na ilayo sa mga kasambahay para hindi sila makahawa.

Ayon kay Dr. Eric Tayag ng Department of Health (DOH) ang mga may bulutong ay hindi dapat makihalubilo sa ibang tao mula isang linggo hanggang 10 araw. Sinabi niya na ang bulutong ay isang skin disease na nagsisimula sa mga buwan ng Nobyembre at Disyembre at tuluy-tuloy ito hanggang summer months. Ang virus nito ay airborne and highly contagious. Madalas na mapagkamalan itong tagihawat. Dapat na gupitin nang maiksi ang mga kuko para maiwasan ang pagkamot sa bulutong. Maaaring maimpeksiyon at makasira sa balat lalo na sa mukha.

The virus may remain dormant in the nerve tissue for many years and become reactivated when the immune system is weakened. Therefore, reactivation is common among the sickly and the elderly. It usually starts as small blisters, gradually enlarging, appearing at one side of the body or side of the neck and arm or the face. It produces severe pain that remains for many months even after the blisters have cleared. A strong analgesic is needed and antiviral cream or tablets are best started within the first 24-48 hours of appearance of the rash or blisters.

Niliwanag ni Dr. Tayag na maling paniniwala na kapag may bulutong ay hindi dapat na maligo at kumain ng isda at iba pang sea foods. Ipinayo niya na dapat na uminom nang maraming tubig at fruit juices.
