Without wasting much of time you are welcome once again to this wonderful and educative blog of my, which is all about Common Illness In The Community, and I will be giving a full detail on this.
Illness is an abnormal situation that makes somebody not to feel well in his body.
The person who is Ill may be suffering from pain due to the illness or disease.
There are so many illness that attack people in the community, all this illness can result to death if there is no proper attention or treatment. The Common Illness Includes
- MALARIA:
Malaria is an illness caused by mosquito bites. A person who has Malaria suffers from fever, headache and weakness of the body.
- DYSENTERY
Another Common Illness in the community is dysentery. It is an illness of the stomach which leads to frequent stooling with blood. Lack of personal hygiene and spoiled food is a major cause of dysentery. We must wash our hands well as well and also keep our food clean.
- DIARRHEA:
Diarrhea is loose water stool that occurs frequently than usual. The person continues to go to toilet often. Frequent stooling can weaken the body and the person can't be able to do any work.
- CHOLERA:
Cholera is caused by bacterial, it happens when we drink contaminated water or eat bad food. It can kill easily if it's not well treated. The person suffering from Cholera loses large amount of water from stooling, so we should always drink clean water always to prevent Cholera.
Significant or signs that can let you know that you are affected with illness.
- General Weakness: Persons suffering from illness are weak and inactive in to work.
- Lack Of Appetite: person who are sick have dislike for food which he/she normally eat as usual, this is because the illness is disturbing the body system and the person can't desire to eat or drink as usual.
- Headache/Cold: Any one who is sick must often suffer from headache or cold, especially someone suffering from Malaria. Sometimes they are shivering due to Malaria fever and cold.
- Dirty And Polluted Environment: We must keep our immediate environment clean such as our compounds, house, toilets, and our foods. In this case we also need to keep our body and clothes clean, always dry them so that the will be free from germs that causes disease or illness.
- Infection: When we live in dirty environment or eat dirty food, we are exposed to disease and germs. Some disease are transmitted which means it can affect one person to the other through close contact and so on. Disease like Cough, Cholera, HIV/AIDS, Measles can be infected from one person to another through contact, inhaling, use of same object and so on. So we should be careful to avoid being infected by disease around us.
There are so many ways we can prevent common illness or disease from our community but here I will be discussing on few safety Measures.
- Cleaning Of One's Environment: We should keep our environment clean at all times, sweep your compound everyday and the house's, the toilet and the bathroom often. Do not dump water at any spot to avoid mosquitoes.
- Eating Balance Diet: We should make sure that we eat good foods, food that contains the necessary nutrients needed by the body. Such balanced food will nourish our body, help us to grow well and make us healthy and free from illness.
- Regular Medical Checkup: We should go to hospital at regular times to do medical Checkups about our health. This checkup will help to dictate any disease in our body before it becomes serious. When we do regular checkup, it will help us prevent disease from attacking the body.
