11:01 am - Cold

Ever since Ignatius developed mild bronchitis... was it in August?... he's been getting a cold/flu every month. EVERY month. It invariably starts off with clear mucous, developing to thick coloured mucous, and a phlegmy cough, and a dry hacking cough. And the whole cycle starts again.

We have been feeding him colostrum, multi-vitamins, fish oil, calcium syrup, healthy food, and yet... !

I'm at a loss. I don't think that this is good for his respiratory system in the long run. I don't want it to develop into asthma down the road.

We have taken some measures to minimize the mild allergy rhinitis that he has. The foam mats have all gone. We've bought a Dyson Allergy HEPA filter approved by British Allergy Association vacuum cleaner and taken to vacuuming his room, pillow, mattress, bolsters, carpet, twice a week!

And yet today, the thick green mucous came. Sigh. What else should I do? Cordyceps? Does that really work?

Hello! Thanks for dropping by.
So how have you been trying to keep the cough at bay? I'm at my wits end! Is so heart breaking to hear them sound like old man!

yeah i totally know what u mean! he's right smack in the middle of another cough now... so far, we've taken him to baby tui-na at yu guo, that seemed to help a bit. the fastest (and most expensive) relief so far was hou ning from eu yan sang... perhaps we should take this offline? can email me at tehsw@singnet.com.sg :)
