KC's check up 1/5/2010

Yesterday is KC's schedule for a check up after being confined last Jan 3.

I picked her up from school after her exams and we went to the THMC to have her check up with Pedia. Her doctor is very young (I googled her and saw that she passed the licensure exams August 2006) and seems to be very kind. As again, when KC was seems to be excited especially with all the doctors "gadgets" which the doctor was kind enough to let my daughter look at and touch (or the doctor might be just shy to tell us to back off :)).

Anyway, my daughter still has a slight cough so she gave us medicines for that. We also continued with the Citirizine (for allergy) and Hydrocortizone lotion. She did say though that KC's lungs are clear but there are phlegm on her throat hence the medicine.

We also went through the vaccines KC needed, the last one was way back when she was one so we have a lot to fill in. We have a 6 in 1 vaccine booster scheduled on January 23 and it would cost us around P4000. My daughter has a healthcard, Maxicare and Medicard. I will double check if vaccines are covered in our card but since she mentioned the price, I assumed it is not.

When she checked KC's ears, it was so dirty that she cannot see the eardrum, so she cleaned the ears. Not sure what the process is called but it costs P200.

She also said my daughter is underweight, she only weighs 15.5kg. at her age, she should be 18kg. She did not recommend any vitamins since I still have a lot of the Cherifer and Ceelin with Zn at home.

She also gave a soap to KC for sensitive skin....I'll also post the name here once I have it, it costs P190 so I hope it lasts a long time.

From now on, I will be giving an update on KC's check up and health
