          Yeah, my DS was prescribed that too. The PD said it is 补药。 He had taken it a few rounds but not much help with nasal congestion. My son has sensitive nose and nasal congestion is extremely bad. You may try fluimucil, very good for dissolving abundant mucous and nasal congestion. Most clinic has it, you can also get it at pharmacy. There are adult and kids version. But remember to check for drug allergy first.

          He was introduced to fluimucil by Raffles Medical Group, RMG charges are a little more expensive than usual clinics, but compare to PD charges, still cost effective. And I find the drugs more effective.

              Hi!

              While the suggestions are good for a consideration; we need to identify the cause. I am a strong believer in Chinese medical - treating the syndrome at source as follows.
              1. any change to surrounding - e.g. painting of house or construction nearby
              2. any change to habit - e.g. diet or sleep pattern

              seek immediate medical advise if there's no suspect.

                  Hi All,

                  To treat flu and cough watch what you eat, drink hot soups and increase your water intake. Take steamy shower, use a humidifier and blow nose more often. Avoid caffeine, smoking and alcohol and wash your mouth with saltwater. Avoid exercises and take rest.

                    For mild flu and cold, I normally take

                    Vitamin C and Grape Seed Extract. It always works!
                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR1iGKbyEks

                    I gave that to the kids as well for sneezing, running nose, cold and mild flu.
                    They love it, and it is effective and good for them.

                    For cough, it depends on the type of cough, and frequency of occurrence and time, whether it is more frequent in the day or night

                      Very annoying cough when the haze comes. Sickening. Felt like smoking the whole day. Have to expect this every June?

                        Where do you buy these products and how much are they?
