      my girl had HFMD when she was 2 during the last outbreak. she most likely got it from her childcare. my niece and nephew all got it from the same centre. but my girl’s situation was the worst, as she could not drink or it, she had to be admiited to KKH.

      Had to be isolated, so confined to a class A ward. little one was very brave then allowing a big size nurse insert a drip needle into her arm. that was the worst week my wife and i had. little girl soon got restless being confined to the room, at most we could do was to carry her to the door or window. at night, wife and i slept on the arm chair (we are not exactly small size hor).
      what we learn from the hospital is to feed her ice cream to let the coldness numb the sores in her throat, after that, she started eating.
      it’s a painful experience which i hope no parent will need to go through.

        I am feeding my kid with those cracked lingzhi spores powder and rosehip syrup to improve his immunity. Hope that will help in preventing him from getting HFMD.

            Read an http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1160105 recently that taking vitamin pills may lead to early death. So no vitamin pill for me.

            The http://www.chinesenaturecure.com/web/index.php?option=articles&task=viewarticle&artid=19&Itemid=3 is 75 times more effective than the lingzhi itself. So I suppose that's why those old martial arts film always talk about 1000 years old Lingzhi, I suppose, now just by taking a 13 year old Linzhi, it is same as taking those legendary 1000 years old Lingzhi :lol:

            Anyway, it is suppose to be a natural herb to improve the immune system without side effects.

            Once I got a very bad sore through, and I took 3 of those pills and amazingly, the next day, sore throat was gone. Never experience that before. Same with fever. I calculated, cheaper to take those pills than to see a doctor :lol:

              527 cases of HFMD in 1 day!!! Goodness… what’s happening?? I think all childcare services should just shutdown for 2 weeks voluntarily to break the cycle.

                If they do that, then the Singapore work force will be down by a large percentage, imagine all the mommy and daddy that need to take leave and stay at home to take care of the kid.

                  Phantom, where do you get your Ling zhi and what brand you buy. Feel like getting for my boy. He had been having a cough for almost 2 weeks already andy in the past always rely on antibiotics to revocer.


                  Now for HFMD they say the potentially deadly EV71 strain re-emerge and involve 19 percent of this year’s cases.

                    The one I tried I bough them from HockHua Chinese Medicine hall. I believe they have lots of shop. For 90 capsules, I bough it at S$120.

                    I only give my kid 1 to 1/2 capsule every 2 to 3 days

                        super dad, in 2000 7 kids die. this year no one. …


                        back to the ling zhi…I did not find that brand but when I asked whether I can give ling zhi spores to my 2.5 year old, the advise of the people at the chinese medical shop is that he is too young to take ling zhi spores…
