Thanks, I just brought her to the PD today as this morning her cough seems to get worse and the running nose too.


Hope she gets well soon. Btw, she got sick after started childcare for 1 week

Yalah.
That's fairly common.
Remind your DD to wash her hands more often when she's at the CC.
Get her to wash her hands and feet when she gets home from the CC.
Being sick is no fun for both child and parents.
But it's a good way to build up her immunity.

I hope your DD feels better soon

The cc always get the kids to wash hands before meal and water time. But there are many kids there having cough and running nose so I think the virus is flying around, everywhere.

You mean after she recovers from the sickness, her immunity will get stronger?

Thanks, I really hate it when she is sick.. she will cough out phlegm and swallow it back. At night she would cough and vomit during sleep.

Sigh... I am very worried.. and she still having on and off fever too.

Must take care lah.
Fever in children cannot be taken lightly.
Your immunity tends to build after each flu episode.
Children don't know how to expel phlegm, so they either swallow or throw up.
Actually, I'm a mummy and I don't know how to spit. So I swallow my phlegm as well :oops:
Don't worry too much.
Monitor her temperature, give her a quick sponging when her temp soars, wrap her in comfortable cotton clothes and let her have warm rice water.
You take good care too.
You need your wits about you and strength to take care of your DD.

:hugs:

Hi


Was wondering anyone bought dong cong xia cao for your kids to eat?

Understand from my friend it helps to cure cough. At the same time, help to build up the body.

Like to know how you prepare the drink or soup.

Thanks.

Hi,


I also just asked my mum to help me get some dong chong cao for my kids who are prone to cough and flu since young (reason given by PD is allergy…). They have been taking singulair and zyrtec on a daily basis for about a year now. Hopefully the dong chong cao will help to reduce the dependence on western medicine……we are asking the medical hall to grind the dong chong cao into powder, seems more convenient than boiling soup. This thing is so expensive now…anyone know of any cheap, good and reliable place to get this??

I thought singulair is a very effective medicine for cough. My DD took it for a month and now the frequent cough has stopped (touch wood)


Try giving your child those multi-vitamin gummy bear. I think it helps to build a strong body

Those China Barley (big grain) is also good for building strong body. I gave my DD once a week

She used to fall sick every month (although she didn’t attend CC) but after taking the above 2, she didn’t fall sick for the past 8 months (touch wood)

My boy having coughing & running nose off & on… brought him to see ENT & dagnosed got sinus problem, allergy to dust mist. U may want to consider to see ENT…

Hi


Recently, I bought 2pack of dong cong cao from Fu Hua. Currently, they are having their 21st anniversary promotion, 21% off for their product. Hence, is worth to buy now.

The one that I bought comes in a pack of 15gm (about half tael), cost $514 after discount. Dong cong cao has different grading from QingHai, Tibet and one other place (cannot recall). From what I understand, the fatter the dong cong cao the better it is. Of course, lighter colour one is better as compared to those dark brown. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I used slow cooker to boil the dong cong cao with gou qi zi. They advised us to boil and drink it.

Hi daddy2007


What brand of multi-vitamin are you using?

I also find my DD getting better after taking echincea and multi-vitamins.

It indeed helps to reduce cough and flu.

It depends which type does your child likes. Mine is taking this brand calls University Nutrition for Kids.
