Attention parents who are traveling! ✈️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Recent reports highlight a tragic case involving a 2-year-old girl who contracted Influenza A (H3) and rapidly developed severe complications, including shock and encephalopathy, leading to her passing. ⚠️ This is an important reminder that flu infections in young children can deteriorate quickly.

If you're planning to travel with your child, please take extra precautions: practice good hand hygiene, avoid crowded areas, and seek medical attention early if your child shows fever or appears unusually tired. 🧼🙏

A little preparation goes a long way toward a safer, more peace of mind trip. ❤️

🚨 Important Alert for Parents & Caregivers 🚨

Whooping cough (pertussis) is surging again. The U.S. has recorded over 25,000 cases this year, already higher than pre-pandemic levels.
🔗 ABC News report: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/25000-cases-whooping-cough-recorded-year-higher-pre/story?id=127831021

Sadly, the third infant death from pertussis this year has also been confirmed in the U.S.
🔗 CIDRAP report: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/pertussis/third-infant-kentucky-dies-whooping-cough-national-cases-stay-high-second-year-row

The good news: Routine childhood vaccinations in the NIP — including the 5-in-1 or 6-in-1 vaccines — are highly effective in reducing pertussis cases and protecting babies who are most vulnerable.

If your child has missed any doses, now is the time to catch up.
Stay informed and keep your little ones protected.

More than 25,000 cases of whopping cough have been recorded in the U.S. so far this year, updated federal data shows.

Oseltamivir 胶囊能否打开兑水使用？

在儿童或无法吞咽药囊的患者中，医生可指导将 Oseltamivir胶囊打开，兑入液体后提取适量剂量。这种做法在多个国家的官方指南中均被认可。

🌎 各国资料

• 美国 CDC：
明确说明可将胶囊内容物混入少量甜味液体（如糖浆、巧克力酱），搅拌均匀后按处方剂量服用。
👉 CDC – Mixing Oseltamivir Capsules with Liquids
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/treatment/mixing-oseltamivir-qa.html

• 新加坡 HealthHub：
指出胶囊可打开以提供正确剂量，尤其适用于儿童或无法吞咽者。
👉 HealthHub Singapore – Oseltamivir
https://www.healthhub.sg/medication-devices-and-treatment/medications/oseltamivir

• 澳洲 NSW/Queensland Health：
在缺乏口服混悬液时，允许打开 75mg 胶囊，兑入 5mL 水搅拌，再用抽取所需剂量。

💡 为什么有时选择胶囊兑水而不是糖浆？

1. 费用差异
胶囊通常比口服混悬液便宜。
在部分国家，糖浆剂型供应有限，价格更高。

2. 保存期限
胶囊：常温下可保存较长时间（通常 2–3 年）。
糖浆：开封或配制后保存期较短

3. 供应情况
流感高峰期，糖浆剂型可能短缺，胶囊更容易取得。

---

✅ 结论

• 此做法是正确的，并已被美国、新加坡、澳洲等官方机构认可。
• 但必须在 医生或药师指导下操作，确保剂量准确与安全。
• 胶囊兑水的方式不仅实用，也能在糖浆短缺或费用较高时，提供可靠的替代方案。

Give Me Five 🖐🏻
ABC Parenting Tips

🎉 Give Me 5: Less Screen, More Green! 🌿
5 fun tips to reduce screen time and bring back real play!

Screens can be helpful, but too much of a good thing isn't great — especially for little minds. These 5 tips help you find that sweet spot between tech and togetherness. 💡💬

1️⃣ Be the role model
Kids copy us — so put down the phone and show them how it’s done.

2️⃣ Swap screens for fun
Dancing, puzzles, storytelling… screen-free can still be exciting!

3️⃣ Cut down slowly
For kids aged 2–5, aim for under 1 hour/day — and reduce gradually.

4️⃣ Screen-free zones
No screens during meals, in bedrooms, or before bed = better focus and sleep.

5️⃣ Narrate your own screen use
“I’m checking the weather,” or “Just replying to work” helps kids understand it's not all games and videos.
