Watch out for pneumococcal pneumonia
Act now to seek medical advice to avoid worsening conditions

 
Most pneumonia is caused by infection, and pneumonia could be classified into viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia. Most of viral pneumonia could resolve on its own while bacterial pneumonia caused by pneumococcus can worsen rapidly and can be life-threatening.

Pneumonia caused by pneumococcus can result in trouble breathing, affect blood pressure, heart rate and kidney function, cause pulmonary edema and lung abscess. Parents should bring their children to seek medical advice for a diagnosis and take antibiotics as soon as possible to reduce the chance of developing the above symptoms, suggested by Dr Sham Chak-on Philip, Specialist in Paediatrics at Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong. If your child has a prolonged fever for more than 5 days accompanies by other symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, persistent vomiting and loss of appetite, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

肺炎鏈球菌肺炎勿忽視 儘早求醫避免病情惡化
 
大部分肺炎是由感染引起,而肺炎可分為病毒性肺炎和細菌性肺炎兩種。大部分病毒性肺炎都能夠自行痊癒,然而,由肺炎鏈球菌引起的細菌性肺炎,可令病情急劇惡化,甚至危及生命。

由肺炎鏈球菌引起的肺炎,會令患者呼吸困難、影響血壓、心跳、腎功能、出現肺積水、肺積膿。港怡醫院兒科專科醫生沈澤安醫生建議父母帶同子女求醫,以助醫生作出診斷,並遵從醫囑儘快服用抗生素以減低出現以上症狀的機會。當子女發燒超過五天,並出現咳嗽、呼吸急促、持續嘔吐、不能進食等症狀時,亦應儘快求醫。


🔎請即觀看短片,由沈澤安醫生解說兒童常見肺炎感染的成因、預防及治療方法等。

Getting vaccinated for COVID-19 to build a protective barrier

 
COVID-19 continues to rampage in Hong Kong and the number of COVID-19 cases may peak over the next few months. Although we are becoming accustomed to living with COVID-19, the virus still remains a threat to our health. We should remain vigilant for the health of ourselves and our family.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 10%-20% of individuals may experience mid- and long-term effects after infected with COVID-19, commonly known as "long COVID". Common symptoms of long COVID include fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive dysfunction, headaches, chest pain and joint pain, which may significantly impact our daily life. WHO also advised that COVID-19 vaccination not only helps prevent severe illness, hospitalisation and death, but also reduces the incidence of long COVID.

Gleneagles is committed to fully supporting the community's health. As members of the Gleneagles integrated network, Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong and Gleneagles Healthcare Wong Chuk Hang offer the latest Moderna COVID-19 mRNA Bivalent Vaccine to help protect yourself against COVID-19 disease.

港怡醫院全力守護大眾健康 
接種新冠疫苗 建立保護屏障

 
新冠病毒繼續肆虐香港,專家指出新冠個案數量有機會在未來數月出現冬季高峰期。雖然大家已開始習慣與新冠病毒共存,但新冠病毒仍然對我們的健康構成威脅。為了自己和家人的健康,我們仍需繼續提高警覺。

世界衛生組織(世衛)指出,感染新冠病毒後,大約有一至兩成的人可能出現「新冠肺炎長期綜合後遺症」,亦稱「長新冠」。「長新冠」的常見症狀有機會影響日常生活,症狀包括疲倦、氣促、認知功能障礙、頭痛、胸痛、關節疼痛等。據世衛資料顯示,接種新冠疫苗不但降低重症、住院機會及死亡率,亦可減低「長新冠」的發病率。

港怡醫院全力支援普羅大眾需要,守護大家的健康。作為「Gleneagles」品牌的成員,港怡醫院及港怡醫療(黃竹坑)提供新一代莫德納新冠mRNA二價疫苗接種服務,幫助大眾建立保護屏。
