      Does all above medication work for adults too ? I had terrible cough for 4 weeks , it finally got well after my 4th bottle of cough syrup , then I am not back to coughing again after recovering for only 1 month ! I am so afraid I will pass to my kids and the whole family will get the virus again , it seems like a vicious cycle , keeps coming back! Is there something wrong with air or what ... argghhh !

      weather is really warm these days! maybe it's causing all the flu and cough bug to spread around! i guess chinese herbs do work for adults too. perhaps the portion may be different. you can try asking the medical hall

        Thanks kooky83, I tried for 2 days and I give up. I coughed more somehow and at least the western one keeps me quiet for a few hours . Maybe they didn’t prescribe the right herbs for me?

          I think you need to go for a check up properly as it is very bad to come cough again and again. By visiting any ear nose throat doctor you can get well properly. You can check here also about various experts and professional ENT specialists lists : http://www.entandallergy.com/

            No problem 😄 maybe you can try other medical halls? probably they really prescribe the wrong herbs for you. wish you recover soon!

              If your child has been coughing non-stop for few months despite taking all kinds of medicines, will you believe it if someone would to tell you that it can be cured in 3 days?!


              My 5 years old boy was down with persistent cough for almost 3 months, seen PD few times and was given long list of medicines including antibiotics, singulair, fluimucil, cophadyl, ventolin etc, but nothing seemed to work well as his condition continued to worsen. I got so worried that he might be “overdosed” and would suffer the side effects, as the PD kept giving more and more medicines each time, so I started to research on the Internet for alternative solution.

              I chanced upon the Facebook page of a TCM clinic which mentions they have an external therapy for cough specially for children, so we rushed down immediately. The lady doctor diagnosed my son and said that there’s whizzing sound in his lung but she told me not to worry as he will be okay in 3 days by doing the Bio-Light cough massage therapy consecutively. She even advised me to stop his western medicines. I found it hard to believe! But anyway, we proceeded with the treatment as the doctor sounded very confident.

              One the first night, my son continued to cough and threw out lots of phlegm, but the next morning, his cough was very much reduced, and from 2nd night onward I hardly heard him cough except occasionally 1 to 2 sound at times, and then his cough gradually faded off after the 3 days of treatment.

              I think the Bio-Light cough treatment was rather amazing, and the most wonderful part of it is… no medicine to take at all!!

                    Hi Schen & happyday2,


                    Sorry for the late reply, coz I was away for a short trip.

                    The clinic we went to was Herbal-Basic located at Havelock Road, you can find them on Facebook or call them at 6376 2345.

                    For the Bio-Light Cough Massage Therapy, you need to do it consecutively for 3 to 5 days depending on your child’s condition. My boy did it for 3 days and he recovered well, I think we paid $40 + per visit.

                    If your objective is to do away with oral medication, be it Western or TCM, this could be a good alternative!

                    I wish your child recovers soon.

                      Thanks for sharing! My dd has been coughing for 3 mths too. Like your child, she was given a long list of antibiotics, medicine, etc but nothing seemed to work. Like you, each visit to the GP, he prescribed even more medicine and like you, I also worried about side effects of the medicine.

                      Should have checked your post earlier - tomorrow, my dd has an appointment with NUH pediatrician. Was referred to by the GP. If it doesn't help, I'll try Bio-LIght. WIll ask for more details if I need them...

                      thanks!
