Frustrated
Hindi ko alam if I even want to post this because I might only get downvoted. But please enlighten me, (and pls understand) bakit yung ibang ka-mommy natin sa social media like tiktok, fb, or even dito nagtatanong kung anong gagawin or ipapainom na gamot kapag may sakit ang babies nila. I am really saddened and/or frustrated. As in.
Hindi ko alam parang deep inside I wanna start campaigning na please seek medical advice ONLY from healthcare professionals. Kung walang resources para pumunta sa pedia at least we have public hospitals or health centers in every barangay. Kapag nagsusuka ang bata, sa ER na dalhin or pwede sa health centers, bakit hihintayin pa ang sagot ng mga strangers sa social media?
Pls let us not put our children’s lives at risk. And please wag din sana tayo magbigay ng diagnosis porke same ng ibang symptoms dahil hindi naman natin nakita sa personal or nalaman ang lahat ng details, and of course because we are not healthcare professionals.
Yes we should help each other out. But the only way we can hep other mommies is by telling them to go straight to the doctor because paano kung mali ang diagnosis natin tapos sinunod nila?
Sorry kung baka may maoffend. I am just really sad and kind of alarmed na instead na pumunta sa doctor e may time pa tayo magtanong online kung anong gagawin. I hope you understand where I’m coming from. And I can only hope that this would raise awareness to always seek help from professionals, not from strangers.
