All About Flu and Cough

[Baking Mum]

Yes, I totally agree no medication. We rely on natural supplements n home remedies if the kids fall sick. I also do simple massage for fever n constipation. Maybe we can list our home remedies here for all parents to exchange ideas.


For cough: warm honey mixed w lemon, stop the cough for my DD instantly.
For fever: apply egg white on the soles of both feet n wear socks. Leave it overnight.
For head lice: spray organic apple cider vinegar all over the hair n let it stand for half an hr. Rub w olive oil, then use a close gap comb to comb the hair evenly before rinsing off. Drop a drop of green tea essential oil into the shampoo n wash hair w it. Repeat this treatment 6 days later. Repeat again if necessary.

That’s all for now. Looking to more sharing.

A friend ever told me that turtle soup is a good remedy for cough, whenever his children have cough, he will let them drink turtle soup and it has worked well for them.


Unfortunately, I’ve never tried that before due to "religion" reason, therefore didn’t really know how’s the effect. Have anybody tried that before? Please share your experience.

Anyone’s kid got rashes after a flu ?

My sis’s daughter tends to get this problem too, coughing throughout the night because she claims that her throat is very itchy but sometimes kids like to drink alot of cold soft drinks, this is normal but not too often… My sister enrolled her for swimming lesson every weekend and her cough seems to be better…

Hi friends! This is my first time posting here. I notice there is a cough germ going around? How are you handling it?


I got my boy to drink the dark sea coconut concoction. My family doctor is already closed for CNY.

Manuka honey works v well for my kids esp my younger one who used to get cough/flu very frequently.
I make them take manuka honey each time i \"feel\" that they are going to get flu/cough and it works, the sneezing/sniffing stops q immediately.
For kids, anything below UMF10 is ok for daily intake.. adults shd be able to take higher UMF.
There are many brands in the market (selling in GNC, Guardian, Honey World, Hock Hua etc) - you can check them out.

iLoveChubby,

Hi micollh!

I thk you can either take it neat or add some water.
Some KSP (in "manuka honey" thread) gave their kids neat
Depends on individuals… i tried on my kids, tooo sweet for them… So i add alittle water to make sure they finish all.

friends,


Is it okay to let a Primary school boy to take vitamin C tablets every morning? Are there any things to watch out for and any good brands to recommend?
