I’m so grateful to have been part of The Medical City Institute of Pediatrics’ 8th Postgraduate Course. 💙

Two days of learning, meaningful conversations, and catching up with colleagues and friends who continue to inspire me. Every lecture offered something valuable, but the one message I’ll be taking home came from the closing plenary of Dr. Palmero Reyes:

“Every child in a hospital bed is someone’s whole world.”

Such a simple statement, yet a powerful reminder that behind every patient is a family placing their hopes and trust in us. It’s a perspective I hope to carry with me every single day, with every child I care for.

Until our next postgraduate course.

Kung may ONE food na lagi kong nire-recommend sa parents — it's eggs!😊
Mura, madaling lutuin, at puno ng sustansya.
Ang itlog ay complete protein, may choline for brain development, vitamins, minerals, at healthy fats na kailangan ng growing child. One egg a day! 😊

Tip: Pair it with fruits and veggies for a balanced plate

📌 A gentle reminder for everyone ❤️

Our clinic page is meant for general inquiries—
✔️ clinic hours
✔️ doctor availability
✔️ appointment scheduling
✔️ basic clinic information

It is not the right platform for:
❌ medical diagnosis
❌ treatment plans
❌ medication advice
❌ managing ongoing or serious symptoms

Health concerns—especially those involving fever, pain, breathing problems, or symptoms lasting several days—need proper medical evaluation. These can’t be safely assessed through comments or messages alone.

Every patient deserves:
🩺 a complete history
🩺 a proper physical exam
🩺 individualized medical advice

For your child’s (or your own) safety, please book a consultation (online or in person) so we can take care of you the right way .

Thank you for understanding and helping us keep care safe, ethical, and responsible.

Why do asthma attacks spike in December–January?
Cold weather, viral infections, and smoke from firecrackers irritate the airways, making asthma harder to control during this season.

Asthma season reminders:
✔️ Take your maintenance medications DAILY as prescribed
✔️ Avoid all kinds of smoke (firecrackers, candles, yosi)
✔️ Always bring your rescue inhaler or nebulizer, especially when traveling (bring Salbutamol nebules)
✔️ Bring a pulse oximeter when traveling, if available
✔️ Limit exposure to dust, cold air, and strong scents
✔️ If traveling to remote areas, ask your doctor for ready prescriptions in case of flares
🚨 WARNING SIGNS — go to ER or consult IMMEDIATELY if your child:
• Has difficulty breathing or fast breathing
• Is speaking only in words or short phrases
• Has chest retractions (lumalalim ang paghinga)
• Is not improving after using the rescue inhaler
• Has low oxygen reading or bluish lips
• Looks very tired or lethargic
Oxygen saturation less than 95%

An unexpected emergency came up, and we need to take a short pause. Our clinic will be closed for the rest of the week.

We truly value your patience and understanding during this time- some things are simply out of our hands.

We'll be back on Monday, with grateful hearts and renewed strength, and ready to care for you again.
