Sorry, daddies, but I'm not talking about your favourite shots; I'm talking about babies' not-so-favourite shots - Immunisation shots.
Yesterday, on my birthday (16 Mar 2015), we brought Baby Charley to Dra. Pamela Caedo in Makati Med for her monthly check-up and to catch up on her immunizations. You can check Dra. Caedo's Makati Med profile here.
Dra. Pam Caedo is love!

| Baby Charley - facepalm! |
Therefore, she recommended that Baby Charley take additional Ferlin drops with her Tiki Tiki and Ceelin drops @ 0.5ml. Ferlin contains Ferrous Sulfate (iron), Vit B1, B6, B12, and Folic acid; and this is prescribed for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency in infants and toddlers. She also recommended taking Heraclene which helps form and repair body tissues and stimulate appetite. We just mix the content of the capsule to a 5ml milk before giving it to Charley. We tried mixing it with water, but she hates it. :D
Charley needed to catch up on her Immunizations, and this is the sad part. She was supposed to have received her first shots when she was 2 months, and I don't know why her old pedia didn't require us to have it.
Rawr! Super rawr!
Anyway, Baby Charley received Rotarix orals first. This is a 2-dose immunization that protects babies against rotavirus that could cause feve
r, vomiting, and diarrhea. (NOTE: this does not protect babies from other viruses causing diarrhea; example, amoebiasis)
Afterwards, Baby Charley got her first dose of her 3 5-in-1 vaccine (Pentaxim). It is an active immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and infections caused by influenza. The shot was given on her right thigh.
We were also given PAracetamol as a preventive measure. We used Baby Kool Fever on her, too, because we felt she was a little feverish when we got home.
Next month, she will receive PCV13 # 1. Yes, that means more gastos for us. *sigh*
Of course, these shots ay ang lakas maka-maharlika, but are completely necessary to protect Baby Charley from various diseases. *yay!*
Baby Charley is only 3 months old, and we still have a looooonnnggggg way to go. Yes, that means, we will be frequenting Makati Med on a different reason this time, and will be seeing more of our pretty pedia, Dra. Caedo more.

ReplyDeleteYes, Jenny! Alien as ever! ^_^ When you and Benj have a baby na, I super recommend Dra Caedo of Makati Med. :)
DeleteSuper accommodating, and good in communication she explained everything. Always asking if we still have concerns. She's the pedia of my eldest until now with my youngest. Thank you Doc. Your the best!
ReplyDeleteHi! May I ask you for your contact to Dr. Caedo's clinic? Planning to switch from our current pedia as she is not affiliated with any HMO so sayang the free HMO from my employer. 😊 Thank you so much!
