Any Chinese Physician to recommend? :)

[minnie2004]

Me and both my kids have allergic rhinitis and we've been going to Chunghwa Hospital in Toa Payoh many times. We didn't stick with any particular doc but it seems they all prescribe similar medicine (they usually check the records in the PC). Anyway, the medicine worked on us. Since then, we've stop taking all kinds of western allergy medicine :celebrate:


BTW, has anyone tried 同济医院? The last time I took the taxi to Chunghwa hospital, the taxi driver asked me why not go to 同济医院 which is much closer to my house. He said it's very good :? .

Hi GreenQ,
Is he a young man not tall & slight plump? I know of a Chinese doc practising at his medical hall at Toa Payoh. Heard him talking over the phone to his patient that he goes to Chung Hwa on certain days. I know him by his English name Brian Koh. His father is also a TCM & practise at the same shop as him. If this doctor is the same as the one you saw in Chung Hwa, I know where to get him & there is definitely less Q.

Hi sheryl,
No. This physician is about 60+ i think. A kind old man.

Hi Jennifer,


Thanx for feedback. Wil like to check with you what kind of treatment ur boi is given at the physician at Beauty World? How often he has to see him? Have to take med or treatment long term?

You mentioned u went to Chen Jie Hui, may I know how much you pay every session? 3 months is long duration. Maybe I too impatient am considering if this is the best solution. The physician mentioned there maybe some cold like sym during the course of treatment. My gal got it right after first treatment. It make me wonder how effective it is?

Any opinion is welcome and appreciated.

Thanx Thanx!!

At physician Chen, we did massage, 熏鼻子 n also oral medication. I think each session was > $50. If I factored in the taxi fare plus lunch, almost $100 each week. I dun remembered her telling us the possible side effects. Like I mentioned, maybe my boy did not respond to the treatment (as in totally cured, becos his hem hem cough kept coming back, like one week no cough, next week cough) becos we did not do sth right- like sleeping well or eating well.

Before finding this physician at Beauty World, I also tried NaturePath bioreasonce therapy in an attempt to de-sensitize his so-called allergies. Again 3 mths plus (few hundreds of $). No improvement.

Then I went to another physician at Adelphine. Another 3 mths plus. Slight improvement but going there was increasing inconvenient as sch has re-opened.

That's when this Beauty World physician opened his clinic (after 2010 CNY). His hours is more convenient for us. Hence I switched doctor again. Very satisfied. In the past, once my boy started to hv sore throat, running nose n cough wld surely follow. Now just 3 days of medication to rid the sore throat n no prolonged cold/cough. He recovers faster now. We are seeing him once a week to nurse my boy's health after being sick for so long (since P1 Nov to early P3).

My elder boy is also seeing the same physician for his used to be recurring dizzy prob. Now he does not get dizzy prob so often and has grown at least 10cm since the start of this year. As he is at the stage of puberty, I let this physician takes care of his growing stage now.

So, I guess it cld be called non short term for both my boys.

The medication is in powdered form, to be dissolved in hot water, then add lukewarm water. Most of the time it is 2x daily for 7 days. But for the sore throat type, it is 3x daily for 3 days or 2x daily for 3 days.

My boy has stopped the hem hem cough n itchy nose prob after 2 to 3 weeks treatment. Now on maintenance medication to boost his immune system. My boy is on the verge of underweight, so the treatment includes improving appetite and absorption ability. We still need to watch his diet. Think he was 19 kg then, now almost 22 kg (from late feb to last week).
