Since hawd man si mommy mag research...She should have done a Systematic Review of well-appraised and valid researches, before siya mang angin sa uban inahan 🤦‍♀️

Medicine is not a perfect science, and our understanding continues to evolve. Yet one principle in our Hippocratic Oath remains constant: DO NO HARM.

As pediatricians, we uphold this by ensuring that no medication or vaccine is given unnecessarily. Our decisions are always guided by evidence, safety, and the best interest of every child we care for. 💜

EDITORIAL COMMENTARY SA VIRAL NA POST: "LAHI RA GYUD ANG Y (WALAY) INJECT"

“SCIENCE OVER FEAR — PROTECTING NEWBORNS WITH TRUTH AND RESPONSIBLE HEALTH DECISIONS”

Sa panahong malakas ang impluwensya ng social media, personal testimonies, at viral “health advice,” gaya ng post kamakailan ng isang ina, si Gng. LZ Santiago,
👇🏻

maraming magulang ang nahuhulog sa bitag ng maling akala at hindi napapatunayang impormasyon.

Lubos nating nauunawaan ang takot at trauma ng mga magulang—lalo na kung may hindi magandang karanasan sa naunang anak. Ngunit kung buhay at kalusugan ng isang bagong silang na sanggol ang nakataya, mas may bigat ang siyentipikong ebidensya kaysa personal na obserbasyon.

Ang mga rekomendadong Vitamin K injection, Hepatitis B vaccine, at BCG ay hindi ipinataw upang dagdagan ang sakit o pahirapan ang sanggol. Ang mga ito ay bahagi ng pandaigdigang standard of care na naglalayong magligtas, magpigil, at magbigay proteksiyon laban sa malubha at nakamamatay na komplikasyon na maaaring hindi agad nakikita sa unang tingin.

Ang isang sanggol ay maaaring magmukhang “healthy” sa unang oras, ngunit maraming kondisyon ang tahimik (silent) at lumalabas lamang pagkalipas ng ilang oras o araw, kaya’t preventive protection ang pinakamahalaga.

🩺 ANG HINDI NAKIKITA, MADALAS ANG PINAKAMAPANGANIB

Isa sa mga madalas hindi nauunawaan ay ang jaundice. Maraming newborn ang nagkakaroon nito, at hindi ito awtomatikong senyales ng pagkakamali o masamang naging epekto ng injection. May dalawang uri:

1️⃣ Physiologic Jaundice — karaniwan, nangyayari sa 24–72 hours matapos ipanganak dahil hindi pa ganap ang kakayahan ng atay sa pagproseso ng bilirubin. Kadalasan, nawawala nang kusa sa loob ng 1–2 linggo kapag may tamang monitoring.

2️⃣ Pathologic Jaundice — lumalabas sa unang 24 oras, may sobrang taas na bilirubin, o may kasamang sintomas tulad ng hirap huminga, seizures, o lethargy. Karaniwang kaugnay ng infection, immune reaction, metabolic disorder, o bleeding disorder.

Sa simpleng kaalaman pa lang na ito, malinaw:
hindi pwedeng basta iugnay ang paninilaw sa bakuna o Vitamin K, dahil iba ang mekanismo, iba ang sanhi, at iba ang target na komplikasyong pinipigilan.

⚠️💉💉💉
PANGUNAHING LAYUNIN NG 3 NEWBORN INJECTIONS:

KALIGTASAN, PROTEKSIYON, AT PAG-IWAS SA TRAGIC COMPLICATIONS**

1️⃣ VITAMIN K INJECTION

Bakit kailangan sa unang oras ng buhay?
Ang mga sanggol ay naturally mababa sa Vitamin K, at ang kanilang bituka, atay, at gut bacteria ay hindi pa fully functional upang makagawa ng sapat na Vitamin K na kailangan para sa normal clotting.

Ano ang pinipigilan?
✔ Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB)
✔ Internal hemorrhage sa utak (intracranial bleeding)
✔ Gastrointestinal hemorrhage
✔ Seizures, coma, permanent disability, o sudden death

Bakit injectable?
Dahil mas epektibo, mabilis, at long-acting — ang oral preparations ay hindi nagbibigay ng parehong antas ng proteksiyon at hindi standard sa maraming bansa.

2️⃣ HEPATITIS B VACCINE (WITHIN 24 HOURS)

Bakit hindi pwedeng ipagpaliban?
Kung ang baby ay ma-expose sa Hepatitis B sa o bago ipanganak, mas mataas ang risk na maging chronic lifetime carrier — kung saan ang virus ay maninirahan sa atay habang buhay, na walang nakikitang sintomas sa simula.

Ano ang pinipigilan?
✔ Cirrhosis (pagkabulok ng atay)
✔ Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma)
✔ Chronic Hepatitis B infection (lifelong)
✔ Silent household transmission

Critical window:
Must be given within 24 hours — dahil pagkatapos nito, bumababa ang preventive effectiveness.

3️⃣ BCG VACCINE

Ano ang saklaw ng proteksiyon?
Hindi ito para sa ordinaryong ubo o simpleng TB infection lamang — ang target nito ay ang pinakamalulubhang anyo:

✔ TB Meningitis (infection sa utak at spinal cord)
✔ Miliary TB (spread sa buong katawan)
✔ Severe disseminated TB in infants

Sa bansang gaya ng Pilipinas, kung saan mataas ang TB burden, ang BCG ay hindi optional convenience kundi essential public health protection.

🩺 ANG DAPAT NA PAMANTAYAN NG HEALTHWORKERS

Sa bawat desisyong medikal, tungkulin ng health professionals na:

• makinig nang may paggalang sa magulang,

• magpaliwanag nang malinaw at evidence-based,

• i-correct ang misinformation nang hindi nanliliit,

• gumamit ng trauma-informed communication, at

• magpatupad ng legal at ethical informed consent, kabilang ang waiver kung tumanggi ang magulang.

Kapag may pagtanggi, hindi sapat ang linyang:

> “Bahala ka” o “’Wag kang umiyak pagdating sa ER.”

⚠️ Dapat ay malinaw, documented, at may responsableng pag-unawa sa mga panganib ng pagtanggi.

🩺 HINDI LAHAT NG SUMUNOD, AY SIYA NANG NAGDAHILAN

Maaaring magkasabay lamang ang pangyayari, ngunit ang “nangyari pagkatapos” ay hindi katumbas ng “dahil doon nangyari.”

Ito ang core principle ng science at medical reasoning:

✨ Correlation is not causation. ✨

🩺 PANGWAKAS NA MENSAHE

Hindi natin kinukuwestiyon ang pagmamahal ng mga magulang.
Ang kinukuwestiyon natin ay ang pinanggagalingan ng desisyong medikal.

Kung takot ang basehan — maaari tayong magkamali.
Kung ebidensya ang sandigan — mas mataas ang tsansang magligtas ng buhay.

Ang pagmamahal ay emosyon.

Ang pagpili ng tama ay responsibilidad.

At ang siyensya — iyon ang sandatang pumipigil sa pagsisisi.

✨ Science saves lives.

🎖 Prevention is always wiser than regret.
