Hi fatmommy

I bring my DS to Econhealth at Bishan St 11 (they also hv other branches in Jurong etc). He is seeing Dr Koh (e professor), she is professional and good with kids.
My DS gets cough and flu every 2-3 weeks for the past year and after visiting her for few mths, his condition improves with her tuina and medicine. And even if he does starts to sneeze or cough,he recovers v fast, unlike previously, he can continuously take 3 weeks of western medicine but still will not recover.

Hope that helps! :rahrah: :rahrah:

Hi!

You can try Ma Guang or Eu Yan Sang. However, whether it is effective or not depends not on the clinics but the physicians who are there. My kids visit a lady physician at Sembawang's EYS (Wu Min yi shi) and Ma Guang at Marsiling. The lady physician at Toa Payoh EYS is also not bad (Wu Zhen yi shi). There used to be a very good male physician at Jurong East's EYS, but I think he left. We tried the EYS at NEX once, also very effective, but I can't recall who it was.

EYS seemed cheaper than Ma Guang. Probably got to do with the medications prescribed.

Hope this helps.

Hi fatmommy!
The tel no is 66590217. Bishan St 11 Blk 152.
Website : http://www.econhealthcare.com/achievements.html (but bishan branch is not updated yet)
You must call to make appt. Dr Koh is only there on selected timings on Tue, Fri and Sat - she is at other clinics under Econhealth on other days.
I usu pay abt $60-$80, incl consultancy fee, tuina and medicine (large bulk of it is the medicine $).

Hi,

Through my experience, stubborn cough with blocked nose in most cases may be caused by post nasal drip, whereby the root of the problem lies with the nose. You may want to try out Herbal-Basic TCM at Havelock Road, as they are quite specialized in treating nose problems.

My 2 kids used to suffer from this, but after few treatments (external therapy with no oral medication), they recovered well.

Their fee is quite reasonable, range between $30+ to $40+ per treatment.

Hope this helps.

After reading the recommendation from this site yesterday, I brought my eldest (7 yr old) to see the chinese Dr at Herbal-Basic TCM Clinic at Havelock road last night. She had been having non-stop dry cough recently. It usually become worse at night. She sounds so bad although she was trying to "normalise" it by doing reading or drawing but I know that she is irritated by the cough. Her nose is also always itchy and I had long suspected that she has Rhinitis. Anyway, the Dr said that the cough is caused by the nose. I had been giving her chlorphenylamine (self medicate) to cure the symptoms of the running nose not knowing that the running nose is not cause by flu virus but sensitive nose. so the mucus back flow and cause irritation to her throat.

She did tuina, the nose spa and also had oral medication (3 days supply) yesterday. We need to go back to see the dr tomorrow. She didn’t like the nose spa because the herbs cause her mucus to start to flow again, also the steam is irritating and she can’t enjoy the video. She also didn’t like the chinese medicine (powder that has to be dissolved in a little water) because it’s bitter. We add some honey so that it’s easier for her to swallow. The dr said that the treatment will cause her mucus to flow in order to treat her cough then she will want to tackle her nose.
Overall, I find the dr knowledgable but I will have to see her more times to see if the treatment is effective. We spent $63 yesterday. Consultation (applicable 1st time only)+tuina+nose spa+medication.
