Being a Homeschool Mom, Hands -on Mom and Ofw Mom for more than how many years is an experience that made me tough in making decisions and dealing with sickness in the family. Whenever fever strikes them I am so affected and really bring them to the doctor. But most of the time I really have emergency kit with paracetamol, betadine, alcohol and other stuff I'll need. But the really weird thing this that I always carry around a thermometer in my bag. It may sound funny thinking I am not a nurse but it's true. Until now I carry around, maybe because I want to be prepared anytime to check the health of my kids.

As a hands on mother of my two almost grown up kids, health has always been my priority.

Whenever a child is down with fever or any pain, there is only one thing on a mom’s mind: ginhawa.

For me, there is only one brand that i trust whenever my kids are down with fever. Paracetamol Calpol.

There was a Q&A wherein we where able to ask and clarify some facts and myth about fever.answered by

Dr. Sally Gatchalian, a pediatrician at Manila Doctors.

Facts like:

* Fever is our friend because it is our body’s natural response to fight off diseases.

*Fever starts at 38 degrees Celsius.

*Using alcohol (when inhaled) when giving sponge baths can cause coma. This is caught my attention beacuse i have been doing this until now.

It's a privilege to be invited  to this event because I can get the first hand information right away easily share it.

 #Go Ginhawa Moms

First-time mom Jolina is a very hands-on mom, who seeks only the best for her one-year-old son Pele. She says: ’I am a hands-on mom, I even bring him to work so I try to do everything for Pele, and that includes making sure he gets the best medicine when needed.” She also shares how worried she was when Pele fell ill and had his first fever experience. “He just had fever, I didn’t know it was like that. It was hard, I almost cried because he was so weak. And I’m not used to seeing him like that.” Having a doctor-recommended solution she can trust was key to Pele’s recovery.

As a mother of two, Jackie says that motherhood is the best thing that has ever happened to her. “My children have made my heart more grateful than ever. They are my teachers and they have made me realize that life is a constant process of learning. Motherhood has made me a better person,” she says. That’s why it is important for Jackie to find instant relief for her kids Gabbie, 5, and Juro, 2 when they exposed to sickness. She says, “Now that my kids are interacting with other children, they’ve become more prone to contracting viruses and getting sick. I need something that will help them regain their happy, healthy selves fast so they can go back to enjoying their childhood.”

Expert mom Suzi, also talks about how being a mother has made her more selfless. She says: “My focus is no longer about myself. It’s now caring about my kids, and my husband as well,” Suzi says.  She takes care of daughters Leona (11 years old), Jade (10 years old), and Nella (9 years old) as she hosts the talk show Full Time Moms.

Suzi finds that older children like hers can be picky with medicine flavors. “Taste never used to be an issue but now that they have their own preferences, my daughters will only take what they like. I’m glad Paracetamol (Calpol®) has yummy flavors to choose from and I don’t need to force them to take medicine when they’re sick,” she says.
