Struggling with ditching the dummy, potty training or perhaps even a doctor’s visit?

These conversations we’ve had came to mind when I handpicked these out today for our waiting room.

Hope that this series helps struggling parents with some tips. We welcome you to them together with your children while waiting for your consultations. 🫶🏻

What’s been keeping me busy 👆🏻🫠

14/04/2024

The most common cause of continuous chronic wet cough in children is protracted bacterial bronchitis.

This may require a prolonged antibiotic treatment course and can be recurrent.

07/04/2024

Viral infections for infants and toddlers in the first few years of day care can sometimes feel never ending.

However, there are often days of clear symptom-free intervals and new recurrences of similar symptoms with or without fevers.

For these, general medications for symptomatic relief on an as-needed basis is often sufficient.

I am often asked by parents if there is an immune issue for these toddlers falling ill every few weeks- however, this is within a normal frequency in otherwise healthy school-going children who are eating and growing well.

When to seek attention?

When your child has unusual bouts of cough which do NOT seem to be gradually improving over time.

Prolonged continuous coughs lasting 10-15 minutes at a go.

Middle of the night coughing which wakes your child up from sleep.

Long coughs triggered by exercise, activity or vigorous play.

Any signs of wheeze or breathlessness.

25/03/2024

What is next helpful in assessing a prolonged cough is pretty much the character of the cough.

Has the cough been WET (sounds like there’s lots of phlegm somewhere in there)

Or DRY (no phlegm—- kind of like this soundtrack)

Has it always sounded a particular way? Or perhaps it was WET initially then now DRY?
Or DRY initially then now WET?

I take a full and thorough history evaluating long coughs to allow for minimal investigations needed for an initial diagnosis.

It may sometimes be hard to decide if a cough is wet or dry—- in these cases, make a recording your child’s bout of cough when it is worst and this will be useful for the consult.

Hello everyone! 👋

I’m back after a bit of a hiatus where I’ve worn many hats sorting out the new clinic .

We are now a year old 🥳 🎉 since January and with everything falling into place with the lovely clinic, I’m back to share on common childhood and allergy related conditions I encounter in practice!

Updates on the hospitals I currently visit for newborn visits or paediatric admissions from clinic.

There is an increasing awareness and move towards guarding planetary health as this might be closely intertwined with our own health and that of generations to come.

This extends to allergic conditions as well. The epithelial barrier hypothesis explains that environmental exposures and damage of our skin, gut and respiratory barriers through harmful environmental gases, toxic skin products or simply the increased use and hence consumption of micro plastics might be leading to an increase in allergic, metabolic, autoimmune and even neuropsychiatric conditions.

Let’s not just watch this space, let’s do something while we can.

The next few strings of photos were taken by my 8 year old.

He’s demanded a payment of $25.30 after delivery of the images this evening.

I think he’s well worth every penny for capturing the joy today- but I guess that’s what kids do, they get the best side of you. 💕

One of the things I’m really proud of, is my specially curated inclusive and respectful book collection for children.

Time spent with children is never wasted if it’s spent fostering positive values and lessons.

At Petite Practice we love books, which encourage speech and language development in our young ones, and do away with screen time. 💕

Catch me on tonight’s episode on Allergies #ethiroli Season 19 Episode 26 with @vasantham_mediacorp or view the recast on bit.ly/EthiroliS19.

There are many ways to wean to solids and what we are used to culturally may not always be the only way of doing so. There is no right or wrong but there are so many exciting choices you could potentially make for your baby! Start healthy eating habits early.

When and how baby should wean to solids is something I cover with parents at 4 and 6 month developmental check ups. Here are some of my tips! #weaning #development #infantfeeding #paediatirican #sgpaediatrician

Did you know that early introduction to cooked egg and peanut butter could help reduce the risk of developing these food allergies — especially so in high risk infants with coexisting eczema or other food allergies!

About Dr Mohana

Hi everyone, I’m Dr Mohana, Consultant Paediatrician at the Parkway East Paediatric Clinic. I look after young children and babies from birth for jaundice, well baby developmental checks and vaccinations and also attend to acutely ill children with symptoms such as fevers, runny nose, cough, vomitting, diarrhoea, abdominal pains, falls and head injuries.

In addition to general paediatric conditions, I have a passion for diagnosing and treating paediatric allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic cough, eczema, hives, food and drug allergies. I believe in the early diagnosis of allergic conditions in children so as to allow for appropriate environmental management and symptom control. For children with food and drug allergies, I help provide appropriate testing so as to reduce unnecessary avoidance of foods and medications and help guide early weaning to safe alternative foods.
