💊 Takut Dengan Steroid?

Ramai ibu bapa risau bila anak diberi steroid. Sebenarnya, steroid selamat jika digunakan mengikut dos & arahan doktor.

Kenapa doktor beri steroid?
✔️ Kurangkan radang & gatal dengan cepat
✔️ Dos sangat kecil dan terkawal
✔️ Rawatan lebih penting untuk elak masalah jadi teruk

Steroid bukan berbahaya — ia hanya jadi risiko jika digunakan tanpa bantuan dan arahan yang tepat daripada doktor.

💊 “If It’s a Virus… Why Are We Using Antibiotics?” By Dr JoAnn Child Specialist

Many parents today are becoming more cautious about starting antibiotics — and that’s a great thing! 🙌

Antibiotics are powerful medicines 💪 but they only work against bacteria, not viruses like the common cold, flu, RSV, or hand-foot-mouth disease.

🧠 So why do doctors sometimes still prescribe them, even when the illness is “viral”?
Because in real-life medicine, things aren’t always black and white ⚖️
🚩 Antibiotics may still be needed if:
➡ Your child looks very unwell or lethargic
➡ Fever persists >4–5 days
➡ Symptoms worsen instead of improving
➡ Signs of secondary infection (ear, sinus, or chest) appear
➡ Your child is very young or has other health risks

👩‍⚕️ Before prescribing, doctors carefully consider:
✅ Clinical signs & history
✅ Duration of illness
✅ Test results (if done)
✅ Your child’s overall condition

💬 So if you’re ever unsure why antibiotics are (or aren’t) given — ask your doctor!
Understanding the why behind every prescription helps keep antibiotics effective for when they’re truly needed 💙

💔 Influenza is never “just a cold”

Every year, we hear heartbreaking stories of children losing their lives to influenza. From encephalitis to pneumonia, the flu can turn a few days of illness into a tragedy no parent should face.

As parents, here’s what we can do to protect our little ones:
💉 Vaccinate your children yearly
🏠 Keep them home when sick to prevent spreading germs
👩‍⚕️ Seek medical help early for persistent high fever, fast breathing, lethargy, or seizures

Let’s remember: prevention saves lives. Don’t wait until it’s too late. ❤️

💛 Little Hearts, Big Feelings
Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe — both inside and out. 🌱
In Malaysia, studies show that:
👧 1 in 6 children (ages 5–15) experience mental health problems — a number that’s doubled since 2019.
💔 Around 424,000 Malaysian children live with diagnosed mental disorders.
(NHMS 2019 & 2023, Ministry of Health Malaysia)
These struggles often go unseen — hidden behind “bad behavior,” silence, or tummy aches.
That’s why early awareness, open conversations, and emotional support make such a difference. 💬
💡 When we talk about feelings, we teach children it’s okay to ask for help.
When we listen with patience, we help them heal.
👩‍⚕️ At our clinic, our psychologists provide a safe and supportive space for children and families to strengthen emotional wellbeing — together.
Because every child’s mind matters. 💛

🗣️ “Why Isn’t My Child Talking Yet?” 🤔💭

It’s completely normal to worry when your child isn’t speaking as much as others — but not all late talkers have a serious problem! 💬✨

The key is understanding what’s normal, what’s not, and when to seek help.
Every child develops at their own pace, but early detection of a delay can make a big difference 💙

👶 Some may talk early, some later — both can be perfectly healthy.
The goal isn’t to rush milestones, but to support progress.

💡 When in doubt, talk it out with your healthcare provider!
