Mommy Manila

Are there cases of dengue fever in your community? Mommies, it's still rainy season in the country and we usually see an increase of dengue cases. I can still remember the scenario in the emergency room every time a patient comes in with complaints of fever. We were hoping it's just an ordinary fever because we are not familiar with other signs and symptoms of Dengue. Posted on Instagram  (@LivingMarjorney) A couple of weeks ago, I attended a campaign against Dengue Fever. The event was graced by Dr. Sally Gatchalian , Secretary Philippine Pediatric Society;  Jeffrey Yulo , GM GSK Consumer and celebrity mommy Suzi Entrata .

Did you know that Pneumonia and Diarrhea are the two leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide in children less than 5 years of age? I used to work as a Staff Nurse in a military hospital here in Manila. I was then assigned in three busy areas - ER Female, Medical Ward and Pediatric Ward .  Somehow, I've already memorized emergency scenarios where patients coming with difficulty of breathing and lost of consciousness due to severe dehydration.
