From July till now my son is very prone to having cough and running nose.

he is like recover few day then come back to him again.

He is studying in kindergarten, and he is on scotts fish oil bt still very easy to get cough. We did not give him any chocolate or any fried food.

any one encounter this and any suggestion

same with my DS. since July.. it's like 2 weeks flu or cough .. 2 weeks ok.. then 2 weeks again.. but we took the antibiotic in early Oct.. ok since now.. finger cross.. i started the cod liver oil in oct too..

try to avoid antibiotic if possible as the contains took longer to be out from our body.
Did u try to give your kid Sambucus? I let my kids take this and it works. Nowadays no more hearing coughing, flu , sore throat problem and i even allow them to take chocolate and ice cream occassionally. Both food items was a definately no-no previously as they hv mild bronchitis problem which easily will get flu and cough.
You can purchase from http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Way-Sambucus-For-Kids-Berry-Flavored-8-fl-oz-240-ml/9342

Now they hv free shipping for order $60 or more which is very worth it.

Give a half-teaspoon of honey to children ages 2 to 5; 1 teaspoon to children ages 6 to 11; and 2 teaspoons to those 12 and older. Do not give honey to babies younger than 1 because of the risk of infant botulism. If the coughing is so severe that it keeps a child from sleeping, or if the cough lasts beyond 10 days, discuss it with a doctor.

hi, actually I would refrain from honey unless it is only used for curing phlegm, used in tiny amounts and only for a short term. Cos honey is very high in sugar and sugar would suppress a child's immune system. and i would only recommend raw honey. most honey sold in the supermarkets are processed with little nutritional value. just my 2 cents

Drink eight to ten glasses of water. Thin out the mucus by drinking plenty of water while suffering from a cough.


Dissolve the licorice powder in a cup of hot water. Add a small amount of honey to flavor the hot tea. Consume the licorice tea as needed to suppress your cough. Licorice is a common ingredient found in lozenges and has been used as traditional cough remedy worldwide

Take a hot shower. Break up congestion and relieve coughing by taking a long hot shower.

There is a delicious drink or even can take it as a desert. This is very commonly prepared by people in China and I learned it from my sister who has been residing there for many years.

For cough, you can buy Chinese pears. Not peckham pears. Skinned them and cut it into medium pieces. Double boil it with Chinese almonds (east and west types). You can add about two bowls of water and add rock suger for taste.

Double boil for about 1 hour in medium heat. When it cooled down and warm, let your kids drink the water. Can eat the pear and almonds also if you want. It is very refreshing, especially if you chilled it.

Of course, when not feeling well, take it warm. Other times, can eat it as desert.

It is supposed to nourish our lungs. It is natural, so dont need to worry about clashing with other medication.

Manuka honey seems to be quite good for cough

You can buy the pre-packed one from NTUC. I find it very convenient and you don't have to worry getting the wrong combination.
