Journal Entry 161
My lil boy has been coughing for two weeks now. Just a teeny weeny bit of ice/ice cream will prolong his chesty cough to a week or more . One after another and in fact, each visit is always for the same diagnosis - sigh :(
Loads of medicines to take and also Matt needed a few rounds of nebulizers to help with his recovery on his respiratory system. Of course, he felt better after taking that ! It was a quick recovery but as you know, 'ang mor' medicine also has its side effect. Reduced immunity and most importantly, in hokkien is 'lang chen cha seng' or wasted -literally speaking.
As such, I have no choice but to revert to Chinese herbs. Hahaha...talking about our (hubby and I) first visit to the 'sin-seh'. We were really naive when it comes to chinese herbs shopping - the sinseh was trying to explain the different types of herbs and what Matt had was 'leng sau'. All we did was just to nod -suggesting to the uncle that we totally understand him when in actual fact, we don't have a clue on what he was trying to say. Neeways, bought 3 packets back (RM 3 for each) and gladly passed it on to my mum to help....
Uncle recommended to boil for half an hr till water is reduced to a cup. Well, let's see if Matt is able to take it - if not - Miss Chin will then need to drink on his behalf...Chia- liat :(
Praying pretty hard :) - Matt's chinese herbs combo.
