Pneumococcal disease,
a silent danger that comes with rain and
cold wind
Announcement:
We would like to inform our brothers and
sisters about the silent danger that
comes with rain and cold wind, which is
"pneumococcal disease", caused
by the bacteria Streptococcus
pneumoniae, which can cause a variety of
diseases, ranging from common diseases
such as pneumonia, otitis media,
bronchitis, and sinusitis, to serious
diseases that can be life-threatening
such as meningitis and bloodstream
infections.
.
???? Who is at risk?
????
.
This disease can occur to
anyone, of any gender or age, but the
risk groups that should be especially
careful are:
.
???? Young
children: especially children under 2
years old, as their immune systems are
not yet fully developed.
???? Elderly
people: their immunity begins to decline
with age.
???? People with underlying
diseases: such as heart disease, lung
disease, diabetes, liver disease, kidney
disease, and those taking
immunosuppressive drugs. And
immunocompromised people
.
????
Warning signs that should not be
overlooked ????
.
Symptoms of this
disease usually start with a high fever
for 2-3 consecutive days. If you have
these symptoms, you should see a doctor
immediately.
.
???? Shortness of
breath
???? Difficulty
breathing
???? Chest pain
????
Earache
???? Coughing up
phlegm
.
????️ Prevention with
vaccines and hygiene
????️
.
Pneumococcal infection can
be prevented as follows:
.
????️
Vaccination: is the most effective way
to prevent the disease, especially in
young children, which helps reduce the
incidence of the disease and the spread
of infection.
????️ Maintain personal
hygiene: wash your hands frequently with
soap and water or use alcohol
gel.
????️ Avoid close contact with
sick people: especially those who are
coughing or sneezing.
????️ Avoid
crowded places: especially during the
outbreak.
.
Bangkok cares about
everyone's health.
.
We invite
everyone to take care of their own
health and those around them by getting
vaccinated against pneumococcal
infection. And strictly follow the
hygiene recommendations so that we can
get through the rainy season and winter
safely.
