All About Flu and Cough

Letting her sleep with 2 pillows (to elevate the head) seems to give some sort of relief. Guess, the thoart is less irritated in that position. :?

There is this Chinese medicine known as the Niu Huang (it is a yellow powder) which you give your kid eat once when he is around 2 or 3 years old then the phlegm will disappear. Can check with the medicine hall. My neice, nephew, Kid all ate once and phlegm went away.


When I was a kid, I got the same problem, always coughing away with phlegms, then while I was 10, I took 1 portion and there goes my persistence cough.

So maybe you can try it out.

hi, regarding the cough.

Maybe u can try tis.
Try rubbing vicks at the bottom of the feet and put on socks. Rubbing vicks on chest helps too.

Hey! That's the exact recipe used by my wife!


Is it effective? Dunno. But it does put my children to sleep and eliminate all the coughing :).

[stef]

I've tried it on my kids n even for myself.

Quite effective

I only tried rubbing vicks on the chest, rubbing on the foot is new, I will try it out, my son is coughing away recently.

It's quite typical... my 2yo son fell sick a week after he entered child care, spent a week at home, went back to child care, fell sick again within the week, spent another week at home, went back to child care again, fell sick again... the cycle repeated itself so many times within the first 2 months that he spent more time at home than at the child care. They don't call it \"child care\" for nothing :lol: . It's apparently part of the \"resistance\" building process.
