When our kids get sick

^sis pwede na din ang honey for 1 year olds?

Infants up to one year of age should not be fed raw honey, as their immune systems are not yet developed enough to fend off this normally benign strain. Infection can cause a flaccid paralysis weakening the baby's muscles, causing a "floppy" baby. Other symptoms include constipation, lethargy, poor feeding, weak cry, droopy eyelids, expressionless face, drooling or swallowing difficulty, and occasionally, respiratory arrest. By the age of one year, most children develop enough to resist this normally benign strain of botulinum.

question mga moms, bawal ba mag pahid ng alcohol sa arms and legs ni baby? sabi sa net bawal nila mainhale ang fumes pero yun kasi ang ginagawa sa akin dati ng parents ko pangpababa ng temp.

Before sis alam ko style din yan ng parents ko, but I think its safer to use ETHYL alcohol..pero hindi din ako sure kasi may fumes din yun. Hindi ko yan ginagawa sa baby ko kasi a friend once told me na hindi daw safe. Mas mabuti pa siguro yung sponge bath, wash cloth and warm water. Yan lang alam ko.

[textspeak!] ba ginagawa nyo pag may sinat si babay? i mean hindi naman 38 ang temp nya so no need to give tempra. she is still active and acts normal (walang masakit). mainit ang palad at paa nya and when you take her temp, its a bit higher than usual. mga +.3 to +.7 degrees celsius. normal kasi nya is 37.1 so naging 37.4 to 37.6.

Sis advise ng sister ko who is a doctor i-sponge bath mo lang daw basta  37.5 or less. Kung ayaw niya, fill a tub with warm water tapos half bath mo siya doon. Tapos pag 37.5 or up na then nanghihina siya give meds na. Lalo na may kasamang ubo at sipon

^ thanks sis

sis, naalala ko nung bata ako, pag may sakit ako warm water na may halong alcohol.. hindi ko naman ginagawa sa baby ko ngayon

I give my son a teaspoon of honey or yung kutsara niya ang ginagamit ko. I give it to him before bedtime followed by water para ma wash out yung sugar. As much as possible use pure organic honey. Pwede mong ibigay sa kanya na puro talaga or mix it with warm water as his drink. I sometimes make a mild warm decaf tea for my son tapos I add lemon and honey to it.

Sis i-try mo muna in small amounts yung pagbibigay ng honey bago mo  damihan just to make sure your baby is not allegic.

Thanks sis.. effective ba talaga honey sa ubo ng baby?

[kikaygirl]

[yapeegurl]

^sis, nilalagay ko sa container na plastic yung mga dahon ng oregano.. tapos isteam ko sya.. minsan isasabay ko sa rice cooker para masteam.. pag lanta na ang leaves, iaahon na.. tapos yung pipigain yung leaves hanggang sa magkaron ng juice.. tapos ilalagay ko sa glass ni baby.. haluan ko ng lemon/calamansi plus honey.. pero minsan pure oregano extract lang..

[deniseangela]

thanks sis! will try that.

Hi Mommies, I just want to share something...

This is how we normally "treat" our sick kids (eg. fever, cold, cough etc)...
Both of my parents are doctors and since they are doctors na spare kami sa part na maging panicky. hehe... And at some point natuto na rin siguro ako. I learned a lot from my mom and my other siblings who are doctors din. Since medyo matanda na mom ko..."beterano" na sya in all kinds of sickness. Kase syempre napagdaanan na rin naman nila ng dad ko lahat yan kahit pa may sarili silang specialty...
Not unlike doctors nowadays, na sometimes they take for granted small illness tapos it turned out serious na pala hindi pa nagawan ng paraan agad...and syempre as parents...ayaw naman natin na kung kelan huli na or sana maaga pa nasolusyunan na hindi yung ang tagal tagal na hindi pa nagawan ng paraan...something like that. Although it get to a point din naman na my mom and I argue on things especially about my kids...pero sino ba namang lola ang may gusto mapahamak ang apo, right? So anyway here are some ways I/we treat our kids according to my mom...

1. When kids have fever then mataas na hindi bumababa, pinapa CBC namin agad. Why? We don't know what may cause it. Lalo na kung walang sipon mga bata then all of a sudden lalagnatin...OMG! Mabuti na yung sure. Kase baka mamaya dengue, measles or kung ano pa yan...better malaman na agad para masolusyunan....then we always observe what will happen next. Binabantayan namin especially if ang platelets mababa or kahit within normal pero alanganin yung bilang...we normally take another CBC if may laganat pa rin after several days and observe condition ng mga anak.

But of course, it hurts me so much pag tinutusok sila kasi todo iyak...pero mabuti na yung sure kesa malagay sila sa alanganin na hindi naagapan kung ano man yung sakit...

2. My mom usually advises me na paninumin kids antibiotics right away. Again, some doctors nowadays wouldn't advise it...cause syempre my bad effect naman talaga ang antibiotics overdose...but we always make sure we dont give ng madalas...pero kung umuubo na we give na minsan para hindi daw bumaba sa lungs yung plema atg maging pneumonia na mas lalo mahirap gamutin.
And this i find it effective and good in a way, kase one time I read a blog na yung isang mommy nagworry sa anak nya about sa certain sakit na nakuha ng anak nya...syempre mommy sya worry sya talaga. Pero yun nga if nabigyan agad ng antibiotics at na CBC agad kahit papano sana natulungan hindi tumuloy yung sakit...worse lumalala...

3. All my kids hindi kumpleto sa vaccines. Hindi ko sinasabi na okay ito at hindi ko rin sinasabi na hindi rin to okay...ang akin lang at gusto ko lang ishare na naishare rin sakin ng parents ko na which turned out sa study ngayon turned out to be true pala... that vaccines may 'sometimes' cause autism and other illnesses na hindi mo akalain na naging dulot ng vaccines... i hope nagets nyo ibig ko sabihin... Paikliin natin, basta ang explanation lang sakin na napatunayan ko rin naman sa mga studies ngayon... "Marami side effects ang vaccines" na baka dumating sa point na hindi na treatable in the future...

Ang mga pinapalagay ko na lang na vaccine yung mga importante lang, like polio vaccine. Why? According to doctors, 'sometimes' you could get polio thru swimming pools...pag nakainom sila tubig from the pool. I dont know yet how accurate but point here is hindi ngayon makikita ang epekto...pag lumaki na sila.

Since mahilig mag swim kids ko, I need this kaya pinalagyan ko sila.

Hindi sa nagmamayabang, Gusto ko lang naman itong mga to ishare kase honestly naawa ako saibang tao lalo na sa isa kong friend ko na halos laht ng anak labas pasok sa ospital. Kase sa totoo lang mas gugustuhin ng ospital na magpaconfine sila kase kikita ospital e...i mean kahit hindi kailangan iconfine, kinoconfine. Magastos din naman magpa ospital. Parang ang mga OB yung ibang buntis na manganganak kahit pwede naman hindi iCS iCCS talaga nila...Syemppre mas mahal yun e. Bakit ko nasabi yun? Example ko na lang sarili ko. Im a big woman, but thankfully lahat ng deliveries ko lahat normal. HIgh risk pa isa kong anak pero siguro magaling lang talaga yung OB ko at nagawan ng paraan hindi ako ma CS. Kahit na pa friend sya ng mom ko we still paid for her PF...I mean kung pera lang pinagusapan e d sana CniS na rin nya ako...siguro alam nya kase na doctor mom ko at alam nya na may ways na hindi maCS kaya ganon ginawan nya paraan. Kung baga, sa iba na walang alam dyan...like me wala akong alam dyan not unless nasabi ng dad or mom ko now i know...basta walang alam sasabihan na lang ng ibang doctor na CS na lang kita! Parang ganon...

Now anyway, these are some stuff we normally do to treat our sick children or handle situations like this. Dont get me wrong I still worry, syempre nanay din naman ako...pero ang point ko lang dito...it usually pays to research and ask your physician... And maging extra cautious sa sickness ng kids natin kase mabuti na yung sure kase maging huli ang lahat....

Thanks for your time in reading my post...
Feel free to comment...

plenty of fluids sis...plus drink ascorbic acid (3X a day). Kami ceelin gamit namin. pero kung tumagal na ubo, my mom suggests antibiotics agad para maprevent na bumaba sa lungs ang plema. Or painumin loviscol if mahirap na umubo bata

[sweety_paige]

Thanks Sis.

@ratacutie - nakabili ka na ng vaporizer? meron sa mercury sis. 900 lang bili ko. and i also use the rhea solution for inhalation (P30). may warranty na 3 years sa kanila. let me know if wala ka mabili, i'll look around for it. very useful din sa baby ko yan.

Hi!  I'm new here.. I just bought a Kaz Vicks vaporizer a while ago sa Mercury.

Sis emeenem, ito din ba nabili mo?  Medyo nagd dalawang isip lang ako to use rhea solution kasi sabi sa manual Kaz inhalant medication lang ang pwedeng ilagay or may possibility na masira yung unit and mawala ang warranty.

Problem nga lang, parang wala yatang Kaz inhalant solution or even Vicks vapo steam dito sa Pinas   kaya first try ko kanina, nilagyan ko ng pinch of salt.  Lumuwag naman paghinga ng son ko.. However, I'd still go for some inhalant medication pa din sana..

[marssie]

Sis Yapee.. walang oregano dito eh pwede kaya lemon and honey nalang? pwede rin kaya to para macure ang halak?

[emeenem]

@calmharbor - oo same tayo ng binili. yung taga mercury kasi mismo nagsabi na rhea ang gamitin ko for dun kaya binili ko agad pareho. ok pa naman so far

[yapeegurl]

@marssie, sis ok din ang honey sa kids na 1yr up.. pero kasi ang oregano iba ang effect/purpose.. talagang pang asthma sya.. itong officemate kong chinese, yan din daw binibigay sa mga kids nya.. oregano din na may honey..
