Naku momi she-ann pag ganyan katagal na ang ubo dapat talaga consult with a pediatrician na. Kasi from experience yung baby ko 5 days pa lang inuubo pero ayun na hospitalize dahil may pneumonia na pala. Take note hindi sya parati inuubo tska wala sya halak pero nilagnat sya ng mataas. So wag ka muna mag self medicate lalo pa bata ang may sakit. Kung di ka tiwala sa binigay ng pedia then sabihin mo sakanya and for sure papalitan niya yung meds. Goodluck!

we have our own nebulizer sa bahay. kapag inuubo or may sipon si baby, i am using it instead of gamot agad para hindi siya masanay sa mga gamot gamot, lalo na kung hirap matulog, if grabe sipon, i'M putting salinase liquid (basta yung salinase) dun sa nebulizer then tatalukbong kami sa kumot para naaamoy niya, effective naman, the last time na grabe yung ubo niya our pedia advised us to use yung salbutamol nebule para ilagay sa nebulizer. saka mismong yung sis in law ko din nagadvise sa amin na better may nebulizer. super helpful.

AnneM, my baby's pedia practices natural medicine. you may want to bring your son to see her.

dr cricket chen at st lukes global and medical plaza. call the trunk lines na lang to ask for clinic hours.

when my baby had a very bad case of cough and colds 2 months ago (nahawa sa akin), pedia gave her homeopathic meds and she was ok after a week. my twins pamangkins who took the usual meds, 2 weeks maysakit. nagkahawaan lang naman kami.

so far lahat ng meds from dr chen are very effective. pati when baby had amoebiasis last july, ang bilis niyang gumaling.

My baby has cough din, as in kapit yun phlegm niya.. nilalagnat siya sa gabi pero hindi naman mataas, sinat lang.. nagreach siya kagabi ng 38 kaya i decided na painumin siya ng tempra/paracetamol.. yung ubo niya lang ang nagwoworry ako though talagang mahina ang mga baga namin mag-anak, pinainum ko muna ng salbutamol+guaifenissin na pang bata.. nag self meditate ako, i ask sa pharmacist sa botika then yun nga ang inadvise.. for me, effective naman kay baby who is nearly 2 yrs old, problem is hindi pa siya marunong maglabas ng phlegm and since may nebulizer at salinase sa bahay, i might have him use it para lumuwag yung paghinga niya..

sabi ko nga kay GOD na sana ako na lang ang magkasakit/ ubo kasi i know kaya ko, looking at my son na ganun, nadudurog ang puso ko.. he is an active baby - as in hindi niya hinihiga yung nararamdaman niya pero as a mom, i really am so bothered.. anyway, i dont know if its advisable na kahit konting vicks, nilalagyan ko yung likod niya sa gabi at soft massage, nakakatulog siya and yung talamapakan niya nilalagyan ko din ng vicks tapos medyas.. yung ubo lang niya talaga ang nakakapag pagising sa kanya.. umabot nga sa point na inisip ko na dukutin ko na lang yung lalamunan niya para maisuka at labas niya eh.. pero hindi ko ginawa symepre.. nga pala, magana pa din siya kumain and pag susuka siya, nailalabas naman niya kahit pano yung phlegm, i should know kasi medyo slimmy kasi.. balitaan ko kayo pag nag nebulize kami later..

sorry ha, medyo OT na ata yung ibang nai-share ko..

^ gumaling nga sana agad si baby mo sis. Baby ko before siya nag 2 years old, naturuan ko na magblow ng nose...gawin mo in front of her, show her how, then sabihin mo lang gayahin ka niya, sabihin mo din na para di na siya umubo ng umubo kelangan ilabas yung sipon. (something like that) effective din. dati kasi yung salinase, nidrodrop or spray ko sa nose niya, pero mas effective if sa nebulizer ilagay. kasi kahit hindi mo itutok masyado as long as nalalanghap niya at kulob kayo eepekto pa din yun.

update mo kami ha.

[mommy irene]

^^ si mishyla, nag nebulize kami kahapon, nung una naiirita siya pero nung nilalaro na siya ni papa niya, ayun, nalalanghap naman niya at nag enjoy na siya...

medyo nakatulog siya ng himbing pero andun pa din yung konting phlegm niya, tinuturuan ko siya even before pa how to blow pag may sipon siya even sa pag toothbrush niya, yung mumug.. natatawa ako kasi mag blow siya gamit yung bibig niya, as in parang huminga lang siya.. then pag toothbrush time na, ill brush his teeth tapos pag magmumog na siya, lunok niya muna yung water bago siya dura.. hehe..

pinahilot ko din siya kagabi, may pilay siya  .. good thing, wala na yung lagnat niya kasi yun din ang monitor ko kung on and off pa din, baka iba na (THANK GOD, wala na)..

thanks sis..

[two_angels'_mom]

^hi sis! buti naman wala ng lagnat si baby..kasi tama ka pag nilalagnat sya at me ubo e iba na nga yun need na ipacheckup at baka mauwi na sa pneumonia..i suggest i continue mo lang ang pag nenebulize lalo na sabi mo kapit na kapit ang plema niya..3cc NSS will do..yun kasi ang pampaloosen ng pleghm..better sana if meron din ambroxol solution or if me hingal salbutamol pero i wont self medicate..need pa din pedia's advice..

para naman sa mga mommies as a respiratory therapist..yes i would recommend using nebulizers for cough and even for colds..kasi mas mabilis ang effect because the meds which is contained in the mist will go straight to the lungs kaya mas effective hindi katulad ng oral meds na kung saan pa daraan bago maabsorb ng katawan

[mommy irene]

^ his sis two-time, actually yun una liquid med ang ginawa ko kay baby - nagtanong si hubby sa pharmacists, she recommend salbutamol+guafenissin, anti-asthma kasi may history kami mag asawa na ganun at mahina din ang baga ni baby.. and since nga hindi siya marunong magdura ng ubo niya and feeling ko hirap pa din siya dahil kapit ang phlegm, i decided na inebulize na lang siya.. Ambroxol solution ang binigay sa hubby ko ng pharmacist, half of it lang ang ginamit namin.. Yung hingal, meron konti pero hindi siya ganun kadalas.. and yun nga, thankful ako at active baby pa din ang anak ko, kumakain pa din as in parang walang anuman..

sana nga tuloy tuloy na ang paggaling ni baby ko..

[kissablesam]

^ sis, how much po consultation fees & yung homeopathic meds?

sis annem, hirap talaga pag ang baby ang may sakit. sana tayo nalang ano? better bring him to the nearest pedia or center para maresetahan. or, try mo pahilot baka may pilay (may lagnat sa loob) minsan kase ganon din eh.
sana maging na ok na si baby mo sis!!

Hi dmnq, thank you so much for the tip on Oregano! I will definitely try that one

[Anne Mercado]

@clueless - wow! Thanks so much for the recommendation! I will definitely give her a visit, i've been dying to change pedias! My current one is SO sungit.

[Clueless]

@ kissablesam - her PF is 1k yata for the 1st visit, 700 for the succeeding visits. The meds are cheap lang, usually 300 more or less for a bottle tapos ang dosage 3 drops or half stirrer lang so the bottle lasts a long time.

@ AnneM - you're welcome. She's super ok. Malumanay magsaliita, very calming. By appointment only so if you plan to see her, call her clinics na lang. Her secretaries are nice din. I hope your sOn responds well to homeopathy. Kami very happy talaga. Sometimes i take her meds din if i have cough. Hee.

[Anne Mercado]

@Clueless - I really will definitely giver her a call (I might even bump into you sa clinic haha). I actually tried giving my son honey with ginger and lemon kasi I learned that honey naturally suppresses cough. It was effective naman pero shempre, it's best to consult with a doctor pa rin. (Oh and honey isn't recommended for kids below 1)

Yes important sakin yung I'm comfortable with the doctor because shempre I'm a mom and tend to worry a lot. Current pedia isn't that approachable. Tapos when I have questions pa I have to call her office- minsan she put me on hold for like more than 2 minutes e I was on the road grr

our nearly 3 year old daughter first used the nebulizer last saturday.

it was advised by the doctor since hirap nga siya huminga. sobra vomit with phlegm. it did help her breathe and helped her sleep more soundly.

as it was your baby's pedia who recommended the use of the nebulizer, then based on the pedia's findings, di lang basta cough siguro what your baby is experiencing.

as moms here posted, nebulizer use is not recommended for simple cough only.

Hmmm, my son has no asthma BUT his pedia recommended one time if I had a nebulizer at home to help him with his coughing. At that time, sobrang sama nung cough nung son ko and he had a lot of phlegm that needed to be loosened.

The thing is, we don't own an nebulizer so she just gave me the usual medicine.
