TCM and TCM Clinic for kids

[mongz]

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

drickymummy,

thanks for sharing on Dr Wong.

Dear interested mummies,
Just an update on my girl visiting Herbal Basic. She saw Chen yi shi for the 4th time on Sunday and supposed to go for further treatment 3 times this week. We also queried about the package which will cost about $1400 for 3 months. We will get the nose spa machine and the herbal mix to steam for her 2 times a day. The package is actually cheaper in the long run but we are not very sure how effective if this treatment. After talking to my SIL whose son has been seeing a dr in EYS at Bt Batok, we decided to try EYS before deciding if we should cont to go Herbal.
Any idea if Foo Shern Fatt yi shi or Qi Xiao Yan yi shi at EYS is better?

Hi Mongz,

Don't mind please share your experience at EYS, would like to know how EYS treat your girl's rhinitis, is it with oral medication or using external therapy? and how's their charges like?

Thanks for sharing.
