00:00The crying baby in the video is the owner of Taong Gulang, Janelia.
00:05Janelia is eating her lunch before the video that she got that she doesn't cry easily.
00:13They already ate, two of them, I ate first, then after I ate, I took a rest.
00:19Our food, I left it on the table.
00:22She's fond of fish, she went there, I didn't know she was already eating.
00:26Their food back then was the favorite food of the kids.
00:30That's why Janelia didn't miss it and she ate it all.
00:35Every time we eat fish, we'll share it, even if it's dried,
00:39Tinapa, Tilapia, we eat it all at the same time.
00:43There was a time when she suddenly went to the table and she took it all by herself.
00:48That's when we started.
00:51Later on, Janelia came closer to her parents and she started crying.
00:57Mama, I'm a kid.
01:01The kid was shocked.
01:04Alana, Alana.
01:06I can't breathe, I can't breathe, Mama.
01:10I'm a fish, I can't breathe.
01:13She came closer to me, she started crying.
01:16That's how she is when she gets hurt, she really cries a lot.
01:20According to the ear, nose, and throat specialist, Dr. Dominador Garduño III,
01:25a person gets deaf when the coordination of the teeth and tongue is not in order.
01:32People get deaf when there's something wrong with their speech.
01:37It's not in order because when we speak,
01:40it's the coordination of the tongue, neck muscles, a lot of things are in order.
01:47According to Doc, it's also common for kids to get deaf.
01:51For kids, it's not yet developed, depending on the age,
01:55but it takes a while for it to be coordinated.
01:57That's why they start with milk, then soft, then before they start with hard foods.
02:03It's already complex for them to get deaf.
02:06They're not that good yet.
02:07First, they need to feel if there's something wrong with their hearing.
02:10So, their brain is not that sensitive yet.
02:13They don't know yet.
02:15It's very common for kids.
02:17Just drink water.
02:19So, it will be better.
02:21As the eldest daughter of the deaf,
02:23Joe Mark let his daughter drink water.
02:25There are some who are deaf,
02:27but they don't get deaf.
02:29They just stick to the wall.
02:31Some deaf people just stick to the wall.
02:34You can feel it, but they don't want to remove it.
02:37In that case, the water will eventually wash away.
02:42I'm scared.
02:44I'm scared that I'll die.
02:46No.
02:48After drinking water,
02:50they stick to the wall.
02:52I don't want to do it.
02:54He's the one who took it.
02:56I don't want to do it.
02:58No.
03:00But Janelia doesn't stop crying.
03:02I'm scared that I'll die.
03:06Even after drinking water,
03:09the water didn't wash away.
03:11According to Janelia.
03:13I'm scared that I'll die.
03:15I'm scared that I'll die.
03:17So, what they did next was...
03:19Eat some rice so it will wash away.
03:21Like this.
03:23There.
03:25It will wash away.
03:27When we were kids,
03:29even now,
03:31we would roll rice
03:33and put it in our mouth.
03:35We would swallow it.
03:37We believe that the water will wash away.
03:39Other people would use rice.
03:41It's the same thing.
03:43It will wash away the water.
03:45It's quiet there.
03:47You ate there.
03:49I'm scared.
03:51There's more.
03:53I'm scared.
03:55I'm scared.
03:57Because Janelia still doesn't calm down,
03:59the next thing the father gave her
04:01was a banana.
04:03You should watch
04:06when you eat a banana
04:08so you'll know when to go to the doctor.
04:10Kids have big tonsils.
04:12Most of the time,
04:14it's only in the tonsils.
04:16If you see a banana
04:18and you have an instrument
04:20that you can hold,
04:22if you can't,
04:24just bring it to the hospital.
04:26Remember,
04:28be careful when giving a banana.
04:30Remove it if you see it.
04:32But if you don't have an instrument
04:34that you can hold,
04:36you might push it deeper.
04:38According to Doc,
04:40it's better to consult a specialist
04:42especially if the tonsils are big.
04:44Some fish
04:46have small tonsils.
04:48If you can poke it,
04:50it's okay.
04:52It might just infect the area
04:54where it poked.
04:56It's better to remove it
04:58because it might cause an infection.
05:00Our mouth is a dirty area.
05:03We have a lot of bacteria
05:05in our mouth.
05:07It might infect.
05:09It's okay.
05:11After 30 minutes,
05:13Janelia's tonsils are full.
05:15She ate a lot of rice
05:17and bananas.
05:19She drank a lot of water.
05:21It's like her stomach is full.
05:23She ate a lot of rice
05:25and bananas.
05:27She said she still has it
05:29but we feel like
05:32it's not there anymore
05:34because she can play with it.
05:36As parents,
05:38they are worried about their daughter's hearing.
05:40But they are calm
05:42because they know what to do
05:44when she hears.
05:46If you see your daughter crying,
05:48it's painful for our parents.
05:50We know what to do
05:52because we experienced it.
05:54The expert doesn't agree.
05:56What we want is
05:58not to make it any worse.
06:00If you can remove it,
06:02remove it.
06:04Take it to the doctor if you can't see
06:06and feel it.
06:08You might make it worse.
06:10Almost a year has passed
06:12and Janelia is still healthy.
06:16But because of her hearing,
06:18she rarely eats fish.
06:22You can eat now.
06:24Her parents are watching
06:26her diet.
06:29So that what happened
06:31won't happen again.
06:33So that Nick won't get sick.
06:35A reminder to parents
06:37and children.
06:39Don't eat too much.
06:41What?
06:43So that Nick won't get sick
06:45and won't get sick.
06:59Thank you for tuning in to Pinoy MTE.
