Our very own, Dr. Tricia Ramos, has shared her opinions as a resource speaker for GMA Public Affairs on this case of pneumonia in a 4-month young infant.

Pneumonia is a serious infection that affects the breathing and lung function of a young child. My Pedia Network strongly recommends the following steps in making sure your little ones are safe!

✅ Get them vaccinated (Pneumococcal, HiB, Influenza vaccine and others)
- The vaccines against the common bacterial and viral causes of pneumonia are part of the primary series that can be received from our local health centers for FREE!
- They are also available from your pediatrician partners nearest your area.

✅ Practice good hygiene by handwashing with soap and water and observing proper cough etiquette.

✅ Ensure proper nutrition by providing a well-balanced diet.

✅ Avoid exposure to smoke and pollution.

✅ Breastfeed per demand for natural immunity against infections.

A healthy child is a happy child! 💙 Keep them protected!

Feel free to message and consult with our pedia partners at My Pedia Network to learn more on how to prevent illnesses and keep your children healthy!

Some of us may wonder, why is measles such a dreaded disease if it just causes a self-limiting febrile rash?

Measles infection can also cause:
1. Miscarriage, preterm labor, low birth weight in affected pregnant women
2. Pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death in affected children
3. Acute encephalitis or swelling of the brain, which often results in neurologic deficits, that occurs in approximately 1 of every 1000 cases
4. A rare but fatal late onset denegerative central nervous system disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) that occurs 7 to 11 years after infection
5. A pervasively blunted immune response to other pathogens including immune amnesia to previously encountered wild AND vaccine antigens that is associated with increased mortality several years after infection

Measles isn’t just a rash. Let us all work together to improve vaccination rates to protect vulnerable populations from this dreaded disease.
