  1. If the child is 1-2 years old, I would suggest seeing any general pediatrician first. If they are older, I would recommend meeting a pediatrician with a developmental specialist degree. If the child speaks Thai, they have far more options than if they don't speak Thai. "South" or "Bangkok" means they are comfortable seeing a doctor in the southern area of Thailand or in Bangkok, likely because they live in southern Thailand and can travel to Bangkok if needed.
  2. How old is the child? They speak Thai or English?
  3. Respiratory infections don’t become more extreme after COVID. Hospital bed and OPD queues can't lie. It has always been like this. You just paid more attention and see more of it, but it’s always been there.
  4. Getting better after a shot of lincomycin is not necessarily evidence of a bacterial infection. Viral infections can also improve with time.
  5. A lot of respiratory viruses are going around in Thailand right now, including but not limited to rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza, parainfluenza, and COVID-19. There's nothing specific, really. Additionally, the air pollution problem will likely cause those infected to experience more and longer symptoms, which is not good but not unexpected.
  6. Changing the primary health service spot is actually easy and has little to do with tabien ban and voting rights. Tabien ban is just one way of obtaining health service rights in the area, but there are several other ways, such as having a telephone bill with their name and so forth. Additionally, one can change service spots several times in a year. There is very little reason not to do so. However, many Thais are unaware of this.
  7. I recommend using axillary measurement because it's more accurate and reasonably easy. You just have to hold the kid’s arm. The mercury thermometer is the most accurate if measured correctly, but it's too hard for grannies, so no.
  8. I think the girl didn’t understand the concept of preferred pronouns.
  9. Paid "blood donation" is discouraged by the World Health Organization and the International Red Cross because it prompts "donators" to withhold risk information in order to be able to "donate" their blood. https://stanfordbloodcenter.org/pulse-volunteer-donations/
  10. The reason it is not authorized for use in people older than 60 is because there is no data on whether it is safe for such a population. Any doctor who gives this vaccine to people older than 60 is at risk of legal responsibility if anything bad happens to the recipient. A consent, no matter how strong, cannot protect them from being sued, so I doubt anyone will do so. In the future, there may be emerging information about safety concerns in those older than 60, and the recommendation may change. However, that future is not today.
  11. The case of Dengvaxia is another great example that the scientific method and scientific community do work as they are supposed to. Once a vaccine shows any real hint of not being really good, scientists know, and we know. Nothing is hidden.
