      My friend who had cough for weeks tried this Silver solution Supplement and got well just after 2 times… apparently its selling in Taka basement where they are selling the M I air cleaner.

      I have used the gel before and it’s very good because Silver is anti microbial and in this product they use food grade gel with nano silver and so its perfectly safe for my children. I have a tube in each of my bags…

        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?
        Yup! My son is in Primary 5 this year. Been getting him those chewy Vitamin C since mid last year to take every morning. You can get it from Guardian/Watson. :rahrah:

        I dunno whether is there a placebo effect but I notice he has less runny nose in the morning. :scared:

          Both DDs are taking vit c, multi vit n calcium chewable tablets every morning. So far so good, even whn having runny, it will recover pretty soon. CNY both ate their 1-yr amount of snacks n so far still ok. :xedfingers:

              My kid keeps having running nose and/or dry cough for no reason. Instead of feeding her with any medication or send her to the doc too quickly, I usually give a full cup of warm water. If it is merely allergy (ie. not viral, no cold/flu), this should work.

                How do u differentiate between allergy and a flu virus? If I see them cough and sneeze, my first instinct bring them to doctor! 😓

                  If your children have been diagnosed with known allergenic condition, then they would most likely be prescribed with antihistamines.
                  I would give 1/2 dose of antihistamine after 1 day of such symptoms and if the RR and Cough is relieved then I know its an allergen that is causing the R & cough. Then I would continue with the antihistamine for 3 days at 1/2 dose and give them addition Vit C, home cooked fresh food with lots of veggies & send them to bed early.
                  Hope this helps......

                    flu usually comes with continuous runny nose and sometimes (or often) accompanied with a fever while allergy will only trigger at certain time of the day without fever. Eg. in the morning, out from a shower or out from an aircon room.
