Ngaphakathi kwesithelo kutholakala ingoko enambitha kamnandi begodu enothileko ngezakhamzimba. Amafuthawo angasetjenziselwa ukunakekela isikhumba. Amakarawo ahlaza satjani ayadliwa ukwenzela ukususa isilungulelo. Amaqolo wona amumethe i-antihistamines begodu ingasetjenziselwa ukufutha nofana ukuhlanza ngokuthi afakwe ngaphakathi kwamanzi abilako bese kukhokhwa intuthu ephumako.
Isiqunjwana samaqolo siyagaywa bese siba yiputjhana, sivangwe namanzi amakhaza bese siyaselwa ukwenzela ukulapha ukurhuda kanye ne-dysentery. Amaqolo angasetjenziselwa ukukhandela i-malaria.

Nangabe kubelethwa umntwana ophambeni nobullili ebegade bukhethiweko, umntwana loyo uthathwa bonyana ukhethekile njengombana akghone ukutjhijila imimoya.
