Let’s help each other to fight this new pandemic

Hearing is the foundation of talking!
As a paediatrician, I frequently remind parents that children do not merely learn to speak; they learn by mimicking what they hear.
If a child's hearing is even slightly compromised, it’s akin to trying to learn a new language from a radio filled with static. They may miss important sounds such as "s," "sh," or "t," leading to:
✅ Speech delays
✅ Challenges in following directions
✅ Frustration in social interactions

Whether it’s fluid accumulation behind the ear after a cold or a more permanent hearing loss, early detection is crucial. Most speech "issues" actually stem from hearing problems! 🩺

Pro tip:* If you find yourself frequently repeating things or if your little one isn't reaching their "babbling" milestones, consider scheduling a quick check-up.

"Wishing you a day filled with love and happiness" - Happy Valentine's Day ❤

13/02/2026

As a paediatrician, I witness the resilience of “Heart Warriors.” Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) are the most common birth defects, affecting nearly 1 in 100 babies annually. Early detection is crucial, with signs to watch for in infants including cyanosis, rapid breathing, poor feeding, and failure to thrive. In older children, symptoms may include fatigue during play, shortness of breath, and swelling in extremities. Awareness is critical, as about 1 in 4 babies with a heart defect requires surgery within their first year. To help, ensure newborn screening, attend the 20-week scan, and share information to aid other parents in recognizing signs. Together, we can promote healthy hearts for all.

Observed annually on the second Monday of February,
International Epilepsy Day aims to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding a condition that disproportionately affects children. Because epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in childhood, this global initiative focuses on several key areas of impact:
Awareness of Subtle Symptoms
Children often experience "hidden" seizures that can be easily missed. Awareness efforts highlight:
Absence Seizures: Brief staring spells or "daydreaming" that last a few seconds but can occur dozens of times daily, severely disrupting a child's focus.
Focal Seizures: Subtle signs like repetitive lip-smacking, fiddling with clothes, or sudden confusion that might be mistaken for "bad behaviour" or inattention.

Reducing Stigma and Social Isolation
For many children, the social stigma is harder to manage than the seizures themselves.
Bullying & Isolation: Misunderstandings can lead to teasing or exclusion from playdates.

Emotional Health: Between 30% and 50% of children with epilepsy may develop behavioral or mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, often linked to the fear of having a seizure in public.

Advocacy for Treatment and Safety
The day serves as a platform to lobby for better medical access.
Early Diagnosis: Early intervention can lead to 70% of cases being effectively controlled with medication.

Seizure First Aid: Educating the public on proper response—such as never putting an object in a child's mouth—is a primary goal to ensure child safety.
Many children eventually outgrow their epilepsy before reaching adolescence.
