🍎🦑🥕🍌🥦PAGKAING PAMPALUSOG SERIES💧🍇🍗🥖🥛

👎Huwag gamitin ang pagkain as REWARD.
👎Huwag ipagbawal ang pagkain as PUNISHMENT.

Bakit???

👨‍⚕️"Limiting access to some foods and making its access contingent on a particular accomplishment increases the desirability of that type of food." In other words, ginagawa niyong something special ang mga unhealthy food so lalong tumaas ang desire nilang makain iyon.
👨‍⚕️Hinuhubog niyo ang maling eating habits sa mga bata. By the time na may laya na siyang kumain mag-isa (ex. pag pumapasok na sa school), then higher ang chance na bibili siya nang bibili noong mga pagkaing pina"special" niyo.

example para mas malinaw:
Kapag naubos mo lahat ng gulay sa pinggan mo, bibigyan kita ng ice cream. 😱😱😱 I'm sure maraming guilty dito. Ang effect nito ay lalo silang maiinis sa mga gulay kasi balakid ito sa something na hindi basta basta binibigay ng parents. Kapag naubos na ang supply ng ice cream baka hindi niyo na sila mapakain ng gulay.

solution:
Pumili ng ibang reward tulad ng laruang hindi mamahalin, family time, special family events, or collectible items.
ex. Sa bawat bakuna na hindi siya magwawala, may isang star siya. Kapag nakalimang star may 1 new toy. Kung alam niyo ang taste ng bata, then puwedeng kayo na bumili in advance para sure na pasok sa budget.

Pinost ko na dati na do NOT use food as reward for children but I still hear many parents na nagrereward ng food after vaccination. 🥲😞

Starting tomorrow, mamimigay na ako ng stickers post-vaccination sa mga age na makakaappreciate nito.

walk-in

😱Except for a short period of time na I allowed appointments in Pope, walk-in naman ang clinics ko magmula noon. Surprisingly, patuloy pa rin akong nakakareceive ng messages kahit years na akong nagsasabing by walk-in ang check up. Vaccination lang ang by appointment ko.

🤓Collins Dictionary - "A walk-in clinic or medical center is one where you can get medical attention without making an appointment."
❌Generally HINDI po kayo supposed to message your doctor kung by walk-in siya. Dumarami ang messages na need basahin na wala namang benefit dahil wala namang magiging difference sa gagawin sa bata magmessage man kayo o hindi. HINDI naman priority ang nagmessage dahil first come first served ang walk-in clinics.

ex. DO NOT DO THIS: "Doc may _____ si _____. Dadalhin ko siya mamaya sa clinic."

🙏🏻Sana po this day onwards wala na pong ganyang messages ha. Less messaging means I will have more time to study and make new posts and new handouts na may real impact on patient care.

3. May PPS annual convention on April 28-30 Tuesday to Thursday. Tuesday walang problem dahil wala akong clinic talaga. Hindi ko pa alam if makakapagclinic ako on April 29 Wednesday and April 30 Thursday. Para sure alisin niyo na sila sa choices niyo for vaccination sched. Wait for further announcement kung papasok ako for consultations.

💪PREVENTIVE PEDIATRICS SERIES💪

Dealing with Dryness from AIRCON

🤓Huwag iset nang sobrang low temp ang aircon.
🤓Iwasan ang direct na pagtutok ng buga ng aircon sa bata.

🤓Consider use of mild cleansers.
🤓Consider use of moisturizers.
🤓Consider adding occlusives like petroleum jelly if dry pa rin kahit frequent na ang use of moisturizers.
🤓Kung may skin problems causing dryness like atopic dermatitis, magpacheck up.

🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️🦹‍♂️ BAKUNA NG BATA SERIES 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️🦹‍♂️

Hindi Nasunod ang Two Doses ng Flu?

🤓Ang pinakabasic rule ay 6 months to 8 years old, give 2 doses ng flu *accine kung FIRST time.
https://www.facebook.com/share/14aWsGVBmHU/

opinions:
🩷advantage - madali intindihin
🩶disadvantage - parang may assumption na lahat ay alam ang ginagawa... in reality, may mga dumarating na 8 years old pababa pero hindi nagawa ang 2 doses before.
💔iyong iba hindi aware ang previous na nagvaccine and akala niya 1 dose lang for everyone
💔iyong iba hindi binalik ng magulang for 2nd dose... naubusan ng budget? nalimutan? Hindi naniniwalang need 2 doses? Akala pineperahan lang kasi narinig niya sa kapitbahay na 1 dose lang? ...

🤓Mas mahirap intindihin pero mas wide range ng situations ang covered:

"Give 2 doses... Children 6 months through 8 years of age who have not previously received at least 2 doses [do not need to have been received during the same or consecutive influenza seasons] of seasonal influenza *accine administered at least 4 weeks apart"

ex. 7 years old
🖤nabigyan 2021 ng isang shot -> dapat dalawa
🖤nabigyan 2024 isa na naman ->May 2 previous doses ba siya? Wala dahil before this 2024 shot, 1 previous flu shot lang siya. Dapat hinabol ang 2 shots noong 2024.
😊2026 - twice na nagkamamali before... but may 2 previous doses na siya for different flu seasons... 2021 and 2024. That is okay na dahil rule says the 2 previous doses do NOT need to have been given for same or consecutive flu seasons.
❗The answer is 1 shot na lang po this time itong 7 years old. 🥳🥳🥳

🤔Bakit ko ito tinuturo? Hindi ba trabaho na dapat ito ng pedia?
👨🏻‍⚕ Lamang ang may alam. Makakasecond opinion kayo kung may alam din kayo about *accination at ang suggestion sa inyo does not seem to match sa tinuturo ng everyone else.

Iyong nauna kong dentist walang xray sa clinic pero magaling naman. Sa iba niya pinapaxray kung kailangan. Nagretire lang siya kaya ako nagpalit ng dentist.

KNOWLEDGE CHECK dahil nalilito pa rin ang ibang parents and doctors...

theoretical case: 7 years old si patient ngayong 2026. He was given only 1 flu vaccine noong 2021 and only 1 noong 2025. You are aware na 2 doses at least 4 weeks apart should have been given noong 2021 dahil iyon ang first time niya. Hindi pa rin nahabol ang tamang number of doses noong 2025. Ilan ang tamang doses this year? 2 na ba this year or no need ng dalawa ngayon?

I WILL POST THE ANSWER TOMORROW. BAKA MAY MGA MAGREREKLAMO NA NAMAN HA. KNOWLEDGE CHECK NA POST PO ITO SO NATURAL WALA PO MUNANG SAGOT. ALAM KO PO ANG SAGOT. I AM POSTING TO CHECK KNOWLEDGE OF MY FOLLOWERS.
