00:00 Our guests today are a licensed medical doctor,
00:03 a public health education advocate,
00:06 and a multi-award winning educational content creator.
00:09 And he has 5.4 million followers on TikTok.
00:12 What? The doctor is in!
00:14 Dr. Kiliman Guru live on Unang Hirit.
00:17 - Hi, guys! - Hi!
00:19 - Ciao! - Alright, let's join in.
00:20 I'm so excited! I have so many aches and pains.
00:23 Doc, good morning!
00:24 Good morning!
00:25 Welcome to Unang Hirit!
00:27 Yes, I'm so happy to be here.
00:28 First of all, is your real name Kiliman Guru?
00:31 No, actually my real name is Kiliman Jaro.
00:34 So it's a name of a mountain from Africa.
00:37 So I changed the "Jaro" to "Guru"
00:40 so that when the audience sees my name,
00:42 they'll know that the content is educational.
00:44 - Nice! - I'll show them.
00:46 - It's unique and it has a ring. - Of course!
00:48 But Doc, why did you decide to bring your knowledge on medicine to TikTok?
00:52 Well, there's a lot of misleading information online,
00:56 a lot of fake news.
00:57 And I wanted to be able to be that credible source
01:01 so that the Filipinos have fact-based, evidence-based information regarding health.
01:05 Because it's healthy.
01:08 If you receive the wrong information, they can get more sick.
01:11 What was the most unusual consultation you received?
01:14 That's a good question.
01:15 Oh my goodness, there are a lot of questions.
01:17 Unusual consultation?
01:19 Oh my goodness, I can't say that on TV.
01:21 - I get it. - Oh, it's a sensitive issue.
01:25 - Oh! - But the popular question is,
01:28 "Can't I take a bath when I'm sweating?"
01:31 That's the common belief that Filipinos are afraid to take a bath.
01:36 That's the most viral video I saw back in 2020.
01:39 Can you take a bath at night?
01:41 If you're skinny and you're sweating, you can.
01:44 If you can't, you can.
01:46 - Char! - You can take a bath anytime.
01:48 Even if you're skinny, even if you're tired, even if you're just eating,
01:51 you can really take a bath anytime.
01:53 Does being a content creator have an effect on your practice?
01:56 Do people get surprised when you say, "Doc, I think I know you!"
02:01 - Yes, same. - Especially since you're popular online.
02:03 Well, actually, since the patients have a headache,
02:08 they don't really say, "Doc, are you okay?"
02:11 Of course, their first concern is what they'll share with me.
02:15 And then after the consult, they'll bring it up.
02:17 - Comes after, yes. - There!
02:19 After I write the prescription, they'll be like, "Doc, are you okay?"
02:23 - Then they'll bring a picture. - In fairness.
02:25 They finish their reason for going to the doctor first.
02:28 Since the doctor is in, we won't let them pass our questions for health.
02:33 Here's the consult with Dr. Klimanguru.
02:37 There!
02:40 Cute!
02:42 Doc, what is this walking pneumonia?
02:47 Should we take care of it?
02:49 To answer this, let's talk about what is pneumonia.
02:53 Pneumonia is an infection in the lung.
02:55 It can also be due to bacteria or virus.
02:59 If you have an infection in the lung,
03:01 what happens is that it swells up and the inside of the lung is filled with plema.
03:05 So what we expect the patient to look like is
03:09 having a hard time breathing because it's swelling up inside the lung.
03:13 The lungs hurt and it hurts even more when you breathe deeply
03:17 and the fever is too high.
03:19 The body also weakens.
03:21 You don't feel like eating.
03:22 And of course, you have to cough all day and sometimes you have a bad phlegm.
03:26 What I mentioned earlier is the typical pneumonia, the expected pneumonia.
03:30 But in walking pneumonia or atypical pneumonia,
03:34 this is the milder pneumonia.
03:36 What you usually feel is fever, cough, and colds.
03:40 So you think you're okay.
03:41 You can do your usual daily activities
03:45 but you don't realize that you have an infection in your lung.
03:48 That's why it's called walking pneumonia.
03:52 But even if you feel mild,
03:54 you still need to get a consultation because if you let it, it can get worse.
03:58 And lastly, what are the tips to avoid getting sick?
04:02 Number one, always practice proper hand washing with soap and water.
04:08 Number two, you need to boost your immune system.
04:11 You need to get high quality sleep.
04:15 You need to balance your diet.
04:17 You should get regular exercise.
04:19 And you should be able to manage your stress effectively.
04:23 And number three, get vaccinated.
04:26 We have flu vaccine, covid vaccine, and pneumococcal vaccine
04:30 which can help you prevent pneumonia.
04:33 And number four, always wear your face mask
04:36 especially if there are a lot of people in the area.
04:38 And number five, as much as possible, avoid crowded areas.
04:43 Doc, thank you so much.
04:43 For always in the know, always watch out for your favorite content creators on TikTok.
04:48 Thank you, Doc.
04:49 Thank you, Doc Kilimanjuro.
04:51 I have a lot of information.
04:54 I'm not going to uncut it.
