Bantay Bata continues to provide utmost care to children in need at Children's Village

 

The coming holidays will again be marked by reunions among many Filipino families but the ongoing pandemic continues to limit social interactions. Despite this, one of the many Christmas traditions that Filipinos will never give up is gift-giving.

 

During this time, several communities will mount fundraising and gift-giving initiatives to bring joy to everyone during this festive occasion. Among the beneficiaries where communities can help are Bantay Bata and their Children’s Village program.

 

With healthy living becoming the top priority for all, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) partners with ABS-CBN Foundation Inc.’s Bantay Bata, in providing vitamin supplements and medicines, like Paracetamol Calpol for Kids, Advil, Scott’s DHA Gummies, thermometers, and more to children and employees, who act as caregivers to the kids in Children’s Village. The donation will benefit kids who are brought in for custody and rehabilitation so they can have holistic care and are protected from diseases. 

 

Bantay Bata brings a powerful message of hope to children in the country. One of its several programs is the Children’s Village, a temporary shelter and healthcare for rescued, abused, neglected, or abandoned children so they can recover from traumatic experiences. In Children’s Village, kids receive child care, education, and spiritual, socio-recreational, and therapeutic activities to help them in the healing process. As they serve as a temporary shelter for kids, the Children’s Village also commits to giving them a healthy lifestyle and holistic immunity. 

 

The supplements will help children have a strong immunity in their fight against bacteria and viruses. When they get sick at Children’s Village, they can rely on Paracetamol Calpol for Kids to relieve fever in just 15 minutes.

Tips on how to avoid pain

 We all feel pain in different ways. What may feel like a minor nuisance to one may be acute to another. Because it isn’t always visible and therefore, cannot be easily measured, sometimes it’s hard to describe or understand the type of pain one may feel.

 

It’s important to put the spotlight on aches and discomfort because chronic pain affects people’s lives all year long. While pain can be associated with an injury, a chronic kind can still exist even after the wound heals. This may limit mobility and affect endurance, strength, and flexibility. It may even get in the way of doing daily tasks.

 

Here are some tips on how to avoid pain:

 

1. Proper warm-up. Warm-up is an essential part of a workout. Rushing into a workout without a warm-up can lead to pain and agony. Warm-up prepares the body for strenuous activities during the whole process. Not only it can reduce muscle pain and soreness, but it can also improve overall performance. 

 

2. Reduce stress. Stress can increase the body’s sensitivity to pain. Reducing the activities that contribute to stress can help avoid stress. One way to cope up with stress is by having a Mental Imagery Relaxation. This process includes creating calming and peaceful images in mind to help reduce stress.

 

3. Intake of pain reliever. There will be times that pain relievers will be the most vital route to reduce pain. When choosing medications, it is important to consider the proper intake and dosage. Over-the-counter medicines are the most accessible means of getting pain relief.

 

One of the well-known and trusted pain relievers is Ibuprofen Advil. It is known to relieve pains such as headache, toothache, backache, menstrual cramps, the common cold, muscle aches and arthritis. Advil can also help manage fever.

 

Ibuprofen Advil Liqui-gel is stronger than paracetamol in relieving pain and works two times faster than ordinary ibuprofen tablets. Ibuprofen Advil helps manage your pain so you can focus on achieving your goals.

 

Ibuprofen Advil is available at all leading drugstores nationwide. To know more about Ibuprofen Advil, visit facebook.com/Advil-PH.
