Hi Jennifer and GreenQ,

I am also looking for a TCM for my son. Can you help me to understand, GreenQ seem to indicate that it is only $10 per visit but Jennifer's seem much more expensive.

Do they do tuina as well? Thanks in advance!

Hi, the price I stated here is not TCM treatment. It's for some other treatment for allergies.

Hi Jennifer and GreenQ,

I am also looking for a TCM for my son.

I am currently seeing another TCM practitioner at Adelphi \"YS Healthcare\". http://www.yshealthcare.com/Physician.htm

The fee is $12 for consultation, $6 for one day medication (so $42 for a week) plus $30 for tuina, so total $84.

So far we have went for 4 sessions for my younger boy. His complexion has gotten brighter.

I also bou my elder boy to this centre for two treatments. So far his skin peeling has lessen. The TCM practitioner said his weak digestive system causes the skin peeling. So far, the peeling on the hands has more or less stopped. Left the feet still peeling lightly.

But there are some lifestyle changes we have to undertake. For eg, no fast food, must drink very warm barley water like plain water daily, eat porridge with shan yao daily, steam dishes, most preferred way of cooking is to add everything (fish or meat & veg) into the porridge for max absorption, use a thermos flask in sch.

I did not update my experience here earlier becos I wanted to see more improvements in my boys first.

Yesterday I let them play in the swimming pool for an hour or so. My elder boy did not report an increase in skin peeling and my younger boy no recurrent of cough either.

The practitioner also does accupunture in young children. My elder boy tried it but felt dizzy by the 4th needle, so cant use this method. The reason for the dizziness was he is too weak. So although he is already 12 y.o. she uses tuina for him whereas many other TCM centres I made enquires will not do for a child who is more than 8 y.o.

Chong Hwa Medical Institution doesn't have tuina service. The medical fee in this institution is privately funded by public donation and fund raising activities. Their aim is to provide affordable and quality medical service to all people who believe in TCM. The profesional physicians there are all volunteers and most of them have their own clinics outside.

We are paying $2 for registration fee and $2 - $8 or more for medicine depends on the illness. The consultation fee is FOC.

For more details, you can refer to http://www.singaporetcm.com/websites/eng/index.html

My boy has been completely recovered from asthmatic cough after seeking consultation for about half year from a physician who specialized in children illness there. I no longer worry for him during hazy and rainy seasons.

Dear all,


my poor 18-month girl had a bite (we really are not sure what exactly…) on her right leg. We thought it was normal mosquito bite and just put some cream and left it alone for more than a month. Later went to see a PD and claimed that there was an infection and was given a antibiotic cream. But after applying for a few days, the bite part had some improvement but the bacteria travelled to her lymph node (near her groin) developing a 2 x 2 cm absess (pus in it). Was referred to KK and they did an opn to drain out the pus in end Nov. But after two weeks of dressing change every alternate day, the wound seems not healing well and doc may want to put her on GA again and get some body tissue for testing…my girl is really suffering…

Does anyone heard or experience about such skin problem?

Am trying to seek second opinion at a TCM who can help on skin disease. Any out there who can recommend one?

Thank you so much!

Not sure if TCM should be the answer. What about visiting the National Skin Centre?


If I recall correctly, a similar situation happened to an ex-colleague a few years back. She was bitten by an insect (like you, she thought it was a mozzie bite) but the bite became infected and filled with pus. Had to go for day surgery. It took some time to heal.

My 4 year old gal had prolonged cough when she was three. Her first asthma attack wasn't at all pleasant. As the anxious parents, we brought her to western (PD) and TCM. For whole year, she didn't get any better. Doctors (incl TCM) suggested had asthma may be due to allergy to dust mite, pollen and weather. We did what we could - change bedsheet, wash with hot water, stay away from flowers etc...


Someone from Nature Glory told us not to let my gal take any chinese medicine. She mentioned that some of the herbal or chinese medicine contained some ingredient which may not be suitable for their age group. :?

The worst attack was when we were in Australia... it was near winter. However, it also made us realised her cough/asthma was due to cold weather. We started to let her wear a little more thicker clothing, moved her bed away from aircon, sweater a must in the aircon enivornment, aircon temp at 27 deg. and started her with the crocodile meat tonic soup (thanks to her nanny! :love: )... she's slowly getting better now. Thank god!

I think you are right. That's why we shd only choose reliable chinese physician. I only let my kids visit this recommended chinese physician who is specialized in children illness only. There was once I changed to other physician, because this physician Xu was on leave that night. Wow... my boy got diarrhea after taking the medicine! I stopped the medicine immediately.

It is not easy to take care of asthmatic cough child...
