Ngayong tagulan, mag ingat sa epekto ng baha! Magpa konsulta sa doktor kapag nakapaglakad sa tubig baha. Mas mainam na agapan ang sakit para hindi ito lumala.

🚨 MAGING ALERTO SA MGA POSIBLENG EPEKTO NA DULOT NG MALAKAS NA PAG-ULAN 🚨

Ayon sa DOST-PAGASA, inaasahan pa rin ang matinding pag-ulan sa susunod na lugar:
📌 24 September: Karamihan ng Luzon, Western Visayas, Surigao del Norte, and Dinagat Islands.
📌 25 September: Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Palawan, Siquijor, Camiguin, Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands, Davao Oriental, Davao del Sur, and Davao Occidental.
📌 26 September: Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Siquijor, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and Davao Region

Dahil sa pinagsamang epekto ng katatapos na Super Typhoon Nando, Habagat, at papalapit na Tropical Storm Opong, nananatiling nasa panganib ang mga lugar na ito sa pagbabaha.

Pinapayuhan ang publiko na maging alerto sa malalang epekto nito. Hangga't maaari, iwasang lumusong sa baha, dahil maaari itong magdulot ng komplikasyon sa atay, bato, at puso dulot ng Leptospirosis.

Kung sakaling malulubog sa baha:
✔️ Agad na maghugas ng katawan gamit ang tubig at sabon
✔️ Agad na kumonsulta sa doktor kung may sugat o kung makararanas ng sintomas tulad ng lagnat at pananakit ng katawan

📞 Para sa agarang konsultasyon, tumawag sa Telekonsulta Hotline 1555 (press 2).

Timely diagnosis saves lives. Take a second look 👀 at your breasts.⁣ If you notice changes to your breasts, such as a lump, pitting of the skin or pain, go and see a health practitioner for a check-up. ⁣
⁣
Most breast lumps are not cancerous. Those that are, can be more effectively treated if identified early.

✅ Check your breasts ⁣
✅ Get screened regularly ⁣
✅ See your doctor ⁣
✅ Get your annual mammogram done

Let this be a learning moment. Please don't wade in flood waters if it's not necessary. And if you do, try to protect yourself by wearing rain boots or gear.

After wading in flood waters, consult with your physician as soon as you can so you'll know if you need to take any medication.

Very common, underestimating our calorie intake.

What are the usual calories we do not include? In my experience, usually people disregard the condiments, sauces, dips, candies, sweets, biscuits, other snacks like chips.

People, especially Filipinos, only consider they have eaten if they ate something with rice. They haven't "eaten" yet if they only ate s biscuit or a piece of chocolate or drank juice.

If you want medical and health advice on how to lose weight, book your appointment with me and I'll help you start your journey to a healthier you.

According to Vicks' website, the right place to apply VapoRub is on the chest or throat – not the nostrils. READ: https://says.com/my/lifestyle/us-doctor-warns-that-applying-vicks-on-your-nose-can-cause-serious-lung-problems

REMEMBER! 💊💊💊

🚨 DOH: ‘WAG GUMAMIT NG DOXYCYCLINE NANG WALANG RESETA🚨

Ang doxycycline ay isang antibiotic na ginagamit laban sa Leptospirosis.

Kapag mali ang pag-inom, pwedeng mawalan ito ng bisa laban sa mga mikrobyo at maging mas mahirap gamutin ang simpleng impeksyon. Pwede itong humantong sa matagal o mas matinding pagkakasakit.

Nakadepende ang pag-inom ng doxycycline sa exposure o risk level ng taong nalubog sa baha.

Payo ng DOH, magpatingin sa doktor para sa tamang reseta sa paggamit ng antibiotic na ito.
