      Not all respiratory illnesses are Covid, especially now we are not stuck at home. Remember the pre-Covid days when coughs and colds were considered normal?

      If it's an itchy cough, the best remedy is sipping warm water, lozenges, and trying NOT to cough. The more you cough, the more inflamed your throat becomes, and the more you will cough. Keeping the throat warm by sipping warm water, or wearing a scarf, avoiding cold food and drink, and trying to avoid cold air (hard in aircon-ed Singapore) also helps. Cough mixtures (over-the-counter ones are fine) which soothe itchy coughs help too, but are not essential.

      If it's a deep phlegmy cough, you can try over-the-counter remedies - ask the pharmacist. If it persists and worsens, especially if accompanied by fever, it could be bacterial and you might need to see a doctor for antibiotics.
      Yes, I have to remind myself it is normal too! First reaction was to test. No phlegm and not itchy. Fingers crossed it gets better soon! Thank you!

              There is a flu bug going around primary and secondary schools, characterized by high fever and flu symptoms (non-Covid).


              DS caught it shortly after the CNY break. Heard other secondary schools having the flu bug now, in the midst of their Term 1 WAs.

              Better load up on the vits and boost immunity.

                    I hv been having raspy throat too. It’s most irritating esp nightime. Disturbs my sleep. Kept doing ART almost weekly but not C+. I’m more inclined to think either the vaccine booster my system or that covid had weaken or interrelated.

                      Actually we can take the next booster five (5) months after the last dose.[/quote]
                      The 5 months is \"can take if you want\"; the 1 yr is \"recommended to take\".
