ONCE AND FOR ALL, LET’S PUT AN END TO THIS.

So this happened, a friend messaged me, if I could be of help to his friend. He forwarded the concern to me and I was shocked. (I am not the pediatrician of the baby btw.)

Let this be a gentle reminder that we doctors have our own clinic schedules. Meaning, all concerns should be addressed during the clinic hours. FACEBOOK PAGES AND MESSENGERS ARE NOT YOUR CONVENIENT EMERGENCY HOTLINES. If your doctor is not around, I’m sure there are other doctors who are. 🙂

My patients know that I reply to their concerns especially when I have seen the patients PERSONALLY at the clinics, or if I am waiting for additional laboratory results, mostly with no extra charge.

pages and messengers are not intended to replace face-to-face consults, or even be your last option when you choose to self medicate and consult tiktok.😒

Please do not normalize getting mad if you do not receive an immediate response from your doctors, without knowing that they are busy hospital - or clinic - hopping (kadalasan di lang po isang lugar iniikutan ng mga yan), while you are waiting with a cellphone on hand at the comfort of your home. 😔

A little appreciation goes a loooooong way especially when your doctor finds time to reply even to your simplest queries. 🙂🙏

Btw, advised him to bring the child to her pedia, because I’m sure it was not the pedia’s idea to give delight hihi😬✌️

Respect begets respect.🫶

To pet lovers (like me), you might want to consider getting a rabies pre exposure vaccination because even healthy, vaccinated pets can bite or scratch during play 🐶 Getting this vaccine helps your body develop protection ahead of time and makes post-bite treatment faster and easier 👌🏻

Research, including a JAMA Pediatrics study, shows that toddlers with higher screen time face developmental delays in communication, problem-solving, and social skills.

The study found that 1-year-olds with increased screen exposure were more likely to show delays in speech, fine motor skills, and social development by ages 2-4, with a dose-response link: more screen time correlates with greater delays.

Pediatric expert Dr. Cindy Gellner highlights that screens displace crucial interactive play, hands-on exploration, and live communication essential for early development.

Even educational shows like Sesame Street or Bluey can’t fully replicate these benefits, especially compared to often non-educational content.

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises no screens before 18 months and a one-hour daily limit for ages 2-5.

Experts urge parents to prioritize active engagement—talking, reading, and playing—to nurture language, problem-solving, and motor skills during these critical years.
