Monthly Sickness of a toddler
« on: August 31, 2011, 05:55:47 pm »
Hi mga sis! I have a 3 y/o son and I've been having problems with his immune system. Since 6 months old pa lang sya, almost every month sya nagkakasakit. common cold, flu, cough. And sobrang bilis nya mahawa sa playmate or even sumakay lang sa mrt na may mag-sneeze, kinabukasan may sipon na sya. This August lang, 3 times na sya nilagnat on different weeks. Help mga mommies. Do you have a child who experience the same or son ko lang?

^ i am not perfect but then why not ask your baby's pedia... ako ewan ko pero etong august din 2x nilagnat baby ko maybe because of vaccine yung una tapos ngayon ewan ko na kung anong rason. sa totoo lang nakakapraning talaga yung lagnat kahit isang araw pa lang, gusto ko ng dinadala sa doctor.

my son is now 5, nung less than 3 pa cya nagkaka fever talaga cya most of the time after a vaccine. But my sister said - shes a doctor, sabi niya normal lang daw talaga yan. Mostly when a kid has fever its immune system is fight an infection or a body. Parang protective response talaga sa body yan.

Yung fever na mataas at matagal na pa balik balik yan talaga watch out ka diyan. I always stock up on medicines too just in case kasi even if nawawala yung mga ubo or sipon by itself, yung mga medicines kasi ang nakakagaan ng pakiramdam ng bata. Of course, follow the right dose and instructions ng peds. Tapos monitor lang talaga.

sa akin naman sis bago siya mag 1yr old. nung nag review ako ng baby book niya monthly talaga ang ubo niya (and puro antibiotic ang gamot na binibigay  :() , lalo pa nung time na yun wala pa siyang vaccines ng flu & anti pneumonia. At sa panahon now na tag-ulan uso talaga ang flu. Dalhin mo na lang siya sa Allergologist - Immunologist, kasi doon ko  dinala ang baby ko, so far so good na siya now na 18mos old na siya. Para malaman kung bakit mabilis siya mahawa, sa totoo lang sa lahat ng pedia na napuntahan ko mula ng lumabas baby ko, kay dra arlene (Allergologist - Immunologist) lang ako naging satisfied, sa mga pedia dati ng baby ko kahit nakailang opinion na ako lagi sinasabi, kaya ganoon dahil may hika ang anak ko (and the kulani thing), then si dra arlene lang ang nagsabi na maaring dahil sa allergy lang kaya ganoon at hindi sila nagbibigay ng diagnose na may hika ang isang toddler/baby na wala pang 2 yrs old.

Nagsisi nga ako kung bakit late ko na nadala sa Allergologist - Immunologist baby ko, sana di na siya nabugbog sa antibiotic

thanks sa mga reply mga sis! I always bring him to the doctor pag nilagnat na. kaya nga yung card nya punung-puno na. kaso dito, (we live abroad) lagi lang sinasabi na viral then give lang ng flu meds. Nakakapagod lang din and nakaka-worry na lagi na lang may sakit. Ang hirap patabain tapos pag nagkasakit ang laki ng pinapayat. :(

Sis chasiderwin, yan ang balak ko gawin pag uwi namin ng Pinas, ipa-check sa immunologist. hirap kasi kausap mga doctor dito, d kami masyado magkainitindihan dahil mostly chinese or hindi ko maipaliwanag ng husto at hindi ako satisfied sa mga diagnosis nila. What hospital si Dr. Arlene?

kasi sis hanggat di nalalaman kung saan nanggagaling yung sakit niya magtutuloy-tuloy lang din. hanggat di nagagamot yung pinaka ugat at hindi mga sanga-sanga lang.

Hindi ko kasi alam kung anong hospital siya affiliated (di ko man lang naitatanong kapag check-up di ko kasi iniisip na maoospital baby ko e  ;D), pm mo na lang siya sis if ever siya si LELETMD dito sa FN. hanap mo lang name niya (as stated) marami siya mga sagot sa mga questions namin re sa health (& other ) regards to baby / toddler, even adult, since Allergologist - Immunologist siya. Meron siya clinic sa Healthway (Robinson Place manila & greenbelt 5) at sa poblacion makati (dito kami pumupunta since mas malapit sa amin). Matiyaga siya mag explaine sis, kahit paulit-ulit, mas ok nga kasi minsan lumilipad isip ko dahil nagcocompare ako sa mga pedia na napuntahan ko.

^^ usually sis viral talaga ang reason ng pagkakasakit ng toddlers. Nahahawa sa kalaro. But at times, like in my case, the child has severe allergic reaction to certain things that we don't know of. Allergic reaction usually starts with cold-like symptoms, and then escalates to sudden surge in body temp or difficulty in breathing. Viral infection and allergic reaction at times occur alternately. So if this month my daughter has a viral infection, the next month she gets sick from allergies. Kaya akala natin lagi nalang nahahawa.

Nuong nadadalas na yung pagkakasakit ng daughter ko, my pedia sent me to an allergologist kasi may suspicion na nga sya na allergy related yung sakit ng anak ko. Ayun, may asthma nga sya. At least now, I know what to do.

Plus also on my side that my pedia is an infectious disease doctor at alam nya kung bacterial or viral yung sakit. Hindi sya trigger happy sa pag-prescribe ng antibiotics. For the past 4 years that she has been my daughter's pedia, she has prescribed antibiotics about 3 times only, yung sa panahon na kailangang-kailangan lang talaga.

thanks sis chasiderwin! I'll take note of that. I'll find her here in FN. Nitong August na uwi namin ng Pinas dinala namin sa ER (Sunday kasi) [textspeak!] son ko kasi 4days na nilalagnat kala namin dengue na. Viral din daw and sinuggest nga na ipa-check sa Immunologist since evry month sya maysakit.

Sis Inkslinger, thanks. I hope not asthma. Hindi din naman sya lagi pinag-a-antibiotic except kung more than 4 or 5days na ang lagnat at hindi bumababa. Etong son ko lang ang laging maysakit. Yung 2nd daughter ko naman hindi ganyan.

Hi mga sis! glad to have found this thread..  my daughter has been experiencing monthly fever since she turned 2. now she's 3.4 y/o and sobrang nakaka praning na. pag may cough sya after a few days nagkaka fever na other times bigla na lang nagkaka fever and nawawala din naman after a day or two.. we asked our pedia about it and he said may mga bata daw kase nasakitin and most of the time baka viral or nahahawa lang sa mga classmates sa school.

is there anything i can do to end this episodes? it's been affecting me emotionally already. payat din sya and hirap kame painumin sya ng vitamins.. o lang ba ihalo vitamins sa milk?

Probiotics-yakult, natural yoghurts, dutchmill. You can also purchase sachets that can be dissolved into drinks -protexin restore. It's pricey though so i stick to mga yakult, dutchmill, yoghurt etc

Buhayin ko lang tong thread na to, kasi nga laging me sakit yung 2 batuta ko.  Negative naman for Primary Complex, but still lagi me ubo't sipon and minsan nilalagnat.  Initial diagnosis is allergic rhinitis daw, possible na sa alikabok at sa panahon.  Ang init na kasi ngayon.  Magstock nga din ako lagi sa house ng yakult, ayaw ng kids ng yogurt eh...
