Hi iLoveChubby,


Do I hav to made appt b4 going there and can request to see Dr.Koh is it? Exp or not, roughly how much is the medical fee? Can you give me the full address and phone no.?

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 $).

My son is always having stubborn cough n block nose throughout the year. See PD many times but never seem to cure. Any good TCM to recommend?

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.

hi all


My girl has been complaining neck ache/pain for a while… I brought her to Eu Yan Sang for tuina… it was a China lady… and she said my girl is alright, maybe some knock that causes the uncomfy… she did massage for her but my girl still say no good… then she said monitor for a while and if still no good, can go massage another time…

Wanted to try Dr Koh… wonder if she is good for tuina for neck etc… or she only does for flu/cough? anyone knows?

Thanks.

The cost for tuina and nose spa yesterday was $43. I hope she gets better today. The clinic is closed today and we made an appt to see Dr Chen tomorrow again.

Hi hsm
You didnt mention how old your girl is?..
Dr Koh fr econhealth is more popular in \"xiao-er-tuina\" (child massage) so if it is due to pain/injury, I m not sure if she does that.
There is another male doctor at the same clinic who specialises in tuina but i tried him before, not extremely effective.

I always hv bad neck/back/headache since young, no matter how many TCM docs/tuina i tried, it didnt realy help until i went Core Concepts.
If you are int in core concepts, i can pm u more info cos this is :offtopic: ...

hi, my girl is 9yo.. actually she was ok all the while until she mentioned the door knocked her neck (??)

yes, i thot of trying chiropractic too.. but it's very expensive even just for consultation and without doing any checks etc..

so thought of trying the 'massage' instead... perhaps i will check out other tcm which is good for neck massage. Thanks for update
