All About Flu and Cough

[bigsnoopy]

sall:

There's nothing much we can do about dustmite. The doctor advised me to soak the bedsheets, pillowcases in very hot water. I threw away all the soft toys, anything that is furry. I don't even have curtains in the bedroom. Mites like curtains too. Just have one pillow for the child. It's wise to invest in leather sofa, those fabric sofa is a haven for dust mites.

Well there are many products in the market that claim that they can get rid of dust mites. Dont know how true.

Very tempted to buy. My DD's health has improved a lot lately. But being a kiasu parent, I heart itchy feel like investing in air purifier.

i am currently using it. it's not just an air purifier but has mood light functions as well. can use as a night light to get your kids to bed :snooze: or use it to brighten up the atmosphere & your mood during the day

Well~ I am not a mother, but a daughter who used to be coughing heavily and constantly when I was young. My mother often steamed the pear with crystal sugar for me, which is very effective for my cough. You can also use this way to deal with your daughter’s cough. Hope it helps.
Plus, you can fry the egg and let your girl have it in the morning. That is also a common way my mother used for my cough.
Wish your girl recover soon~~~
:please:

I bought anti-mite, anti-fungi,anti-bacterial, anti-everything! Don't seem to find any difference. Maybe the manufacturers just put the labels there to impress.

Hi hi,


DS started childcare when he is 20 months old. From then, he is literally taking medicine everyday until today. It's been 3 months.

His flu and cough would recover less than a week and a new bout of flu starts again.. Im very worried about the side effects of the western medication. So we brought him to TCM. He is almost recovering while taking TCM medication but he caught a new bug the 4th day he is taking TCM medicine.

Im so desperate and lost I give him whatever fruits, water, rest and veg. But nothing seem to work.

I would be grateful if you can share with me things that u do to improve your children's immunity. Can tuina help in strengthening immune system?

Thanks in advance.

Hi MyMooMoo,

Yes, xiao er tuina (which is very different from the adult's tuina) really helps in strengthening the immune system of young children, I brought my two daughters to do xiao er tuina since their infant stage and touch wood, they seldom fall sick as compared to other children around them.

However, if your child always catch flu and cough like what you mentioned, then perhaps he is suffering from Nasal Allergies or other form of Rhinitis beside having weak immune system. There's a TCM Clinic at Havelock road that provides special treatment for such ailments, using some kind of herbal steaming for the nose. The treatment is very effective, rather children friendly and do not cause any side effects unlike western medicines.

I've recommended this treatment to some of my friends who's children were suffering from nasal allergy and their kids are all much better now, therefore I strongly recommend you to let your son try it!

Hope your son will get healthier soon!
