ChiefKiasu:super_dad:My girl tends to get cough easily....quite a problem when she is sleeping. Any age old grandmother remedies for this problem?
Seems like a common problem with most Singaporean kids these days. There are times my son can cough and cough non-stop throughout the night. I made him to swim on a daily basis for a couple of years and the problem went away.
The problem is caused by nasal and sinus fluids flowing down the throat when the person is lying down, thereby irritating the throat.
During his bouts of coughing, I've tried literally all kinds of things, from aroma therapy to air cleaners and ionizers. Aroma therapy works best simply because it creates a sleepy atmosphere that put him to sleep, even though eucalyptus is good for respiratory problems. Rubbing medicated oil on the chest also works.
Exactly
