RHINITIS

 The respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. There are three major parts of the respiratory system --- namely the airways, lungs and the muscles of respiration. But what if one part of our airways are damaged? Can we still be comfortably breathing? How do we know what disease is occurring in our respiratory system? How do we prevent this? Let's find out how.

Discussion:
          Rhinitis is the inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose. It is commonly caused by allergy reactions such as pollen, dust and animal dander. This is characterized by sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and itchiness. To prevent this disease, you must take non-sedative antihistamine and decongestants. When untreated, patient may result to severe complications such as infection in the middle ear and the Eustachian tube dysfunction. An example is shown above.

Link to Economics:
            Economics is all about decision making. It is your choice to keep your respiratory system healthy. Researching and checking beforehand the foods and drinks you are about to eat, having your monthly check up and being careful with your surroundings are three of the many good decisions you should make. Another three wise decisions are always eating and drinking healthy foods ad if experiencing rhinitis symptoms, always consult a doctor.

     Decision making is also included when you plan your budget. But what if your budget won't be enough for all your needs, especially, now, you have rhinitis? Your budget which is enough for all your monthly needs is now not enough for the addition of all your medications.

Example:

 This is your usual monthly budget But when medications add up to your expenses, this happens:

Instead of a budget plan of PHP10,000, it exceeds to almost PHP500 because of your health. But, PHP500 is not enough for your medications. For rhinitis, non-sedative antihistamines and decongestants, when combined, could be more or less PHP1,600. Non-sedative antihistamines ranges from PHP800 and above and decongestants ranges from PHP500 and above. You still need to add up your check ups and consultations from doctors, which are more or less PHP500. 

     Therefore, healthcare adds up a great amount to your budget, so we should always make sure to take care of our body and to always eat and live healthy.

THE WONDER TREE In the land of Arabia, lived a chief named Ali Ben Ahmed along with his tribe. He has a daughter named Zuleika. One evening , Zuleika ran to his father’s arms and cried. Because there was someone who is riding their way from the south. The chief scanned the southern horizon until his eyes found a little yellow cloud of dust in the far distance. Zuleika was delighted because she love visitors who tells the wonders of the world which her eyes had never seen. The stranger who was proud and dignified brought greetings from the great Sheik Ben Nedi. The whole camp bustled with excitement and prepared each gifts for the great man. Only little Zuleika sat alone and idle, because she had no gift to give to the great Sheik Ben Nedi. She ran away from the tents and sat on a great stone near the well. Suddenly out of the well appeared a white image of a woman. The white image asked Zuleika why she was crying and told her to come back the next day to receive the gift for the ...

                         My Experience On Sharing Blessings      On December.18, 2019, was the day when we thought of giving back to the janitors as a sign of how thankful we are of how they help us in making our school campus clean. What I experienced when we were in the making of this is that how we should sort things that are needed to be bought in a certain amount of money. I wasn’t really a part of the buying but I was part on how our money reached to what amount it should be to be able to buy such goods for our janitor.       After the second day of our 3rd quarterly exam, we directly approached our janitor who was mopping the floor outside of the campus and gave him the goods that were for him. He said thank you and we took a photo together which can be seen above.      This experience made me realize how happy a person could be just having a ble...
