Continuous coughing is no good, may lead to brochitis, asthma. My son used to go S'pore Baby & Child coz GP medicine can't cure.

To strengthen immunity, you can boil cordyceps once a week. Or you can see Chinese physician Ma Kuang or Yu Ren Sheng. The former is cheaper.

Hi poppy pop,
Is her cough dry or chesty? My 6yr old son has been coughing for more than 2 months, his is dry cough. Brought him to Dr Ngiam recently and was told that it could be either mild asthma or just habit coughing. After 5 days of intensive treatment for asthma, he wasn't better, so Dr Ngiam sent him for x-ray and confirmed that he has habit coughing. No medicine needed for his case, just have to let him stop coughing on his own.

It will be good to find out the reason behind your girl's frequent cough.

Cordyceps is not to cure coughing. It is to protect or strengthen the lungs. So give cordyceps after recover from coughing.

hi kind mummies

after a few mths of continous cough (always started with dry cough then flamy cough), yesterday brought my gal to c a doc in singapore baby & child clinic. it was diagnosed as early signs of asthma! d thing i was frightened of - came!

was asthma contagious?? i'm so grieved! cos i can hear feedback that say "c! you claimed breastmilk was good for a baby, yet c - your child can still have asthma!" i feel its like a tight slap across my face ;-(

i gave her EBM for about 7 months ...sob sob

yes, nyssa won, its called dong chong chao. it can be bought from any medical shop.

caroline3sg, looks like i wouldn't be able to give her cordceps yet ;-(

Hi Poppy Pop
My older boy used to cough a lot too when he was about 5 years old. As the GPs' medicine was not effective, we sent him to a PD and he was put on Zyrtec and nasal spray for about 9 months before he got well.
Now, we watch his diet closely and avoid giving him chocolate which he is allergic to when taken too much. I quit to be a SAHM when he was 6 years old and we eat at home more frequently. He has also been taking swimming lessons since then and I believe that has helped somehow. Like caroline, we also gave him cordyceps occasionally. Now, he is 7 years old and has much more immunity against flu and cough.

Poppy Pop,

My son is 3 yrs old, he has cough quite often since started pre-nursery. Within a short period of 2 mths, he has been ill for 4 times, and mainly cough and flu.

I brought him to see Dr Keoy and Dr Ang (if Dr Keoy is not in the clinic) at Paediatric Centre. Usually my son is given antibiotic. The most recent visit, he is given Singular to strengthen the lungs. When he is hving phlegmy cough, he will be given Flumicil to clear the phlegm together with his cough\phlegm medicine.

Btw, i think breast milk has no relation with their cough. Even though breastfed babies r supposed to hv a stronger immune system, i think once they started school, it is really unavoidable to fall sick. Esp the younger ones 2-4 yrs old, and if they r attending nursery or child care ctr, they hold each other's hands, they sneeze and cough without covering their mouth, they touched the same toys in sch etc so its really hard to avoid.

Poppy

He started having lessons after his condition improved and was put on preventive medicine - Zyrtec and nasal spray. We try not to cancel his swimming lesson unless he has a fever/bad flu or there is heavy rain because else he would hardly have any lesson in a month.

Hi JessChan

Your child takes Zyttec for a long period of time? meaning everyday also take? or only when coughing? cos you say preventive medicine. meaning to say to prevent coughing?

sorry for being long winded ;-(

Hi Poppy pop and elmobbger,
My son who is turning 3 also cough very frequent a year ago. Until my mum heard my neighbour say to drink tiger milk will be good. So my mum went to buy and boil this tiger milk for my boy when he start to cough with phlegm. It seems to work. Go to those chinese medical hall and ask them for "Lao Hor Ne" (Tiger milk) then buy some lean meat and stew with it. Its like soup then let your child drink. I also let my boy drink flumicil which can be bought from pharmacy. Its in sachet and powdery, just mix with 20ml of water and drink twice a day.

Hi Poppy Pop & Elmobbger

my gal also like yr ger always cough in the morning and vomit after milk. I hv see few docs either give her cough/phlegm medicine or sometime with antibiotic if the phlegm turned green. Recovered few days and back again.So now i change it to see Chinese doc at "Eu Yan Sang". Now much better, you might want to give it a try.
FYI, My gal is seeing Dr He at South Bridge Rd Branch. The medicine is in a packet of powder just add warm water and drink. Dr He told me not to give too much sweet to my gal due sweet may increase phlegm in their lungs. So whenever she want to buy sweet i always say no.

elmobbger, the tiger milk helps my son and its not expensive like dong chong chow. Drink it when child is having cough. Think the medical hall people also know.

I know mummy feel sad when see child cough and cough. So will try and ask around to see wat can help. Me too was very sad when my son cough and have running nose every month. Condition was bad and admitted 3times into hospital for bronchitis.

Oh ya i receive an email about vicks, its says if child cough at night and cannot sleep well. Apply vicks on the foot and put on socks it will help..i try also and it seem to work.

Also since child is always coughing, they are weak so put on socks for them when they sleep at night. My son is on socks everynight he sleeps i think his health is alot better liao. Don't get cough and running nose tat frequent probably few months once. But as he attend school so to fall sick is unavoidable.

Hopefully all these can help your child.

forgot to mention my son also like your girl cough in early morning and always vomit after milk. Cough in early morning its due cold, coz air in the early morning is cold. If you on the aircon try to off it about 5am and if its fan then don blow directly onto the child.

Hi Poppy
We gave him Zyrtec and the nasal spray once every night even when he had no cough for about 6 to 9 months. Zyrtec is for allergies and nasal spray is for postnasal drip.

I think if your kid has phlemy cough, especially at night and sneezing when there is a change in temperature like coming out of aircon room, she might have allergic rhinitis. My kids' PD will usually prescribe oral ventolin to open up the airways but if the cough persists, she will give respiratory ventolin using the nebuliser. (Not sure if I have all the spelling right.)
From what I understand, some kids will outgrow this condition when they are about 6 - 7 years old.

Hi Jess
I've a 4yo boy and recently he has been coughing non-stop esp when he wakes up from his sleep. He was given Zrytec and nasal spray and it does help. But when we stopped the medi, the cough comes back.

Do you give him medi and nose spray even though he does not have cough?

Hi Jess
Thanks for your reply.

Did the PD suspected your kids having mild asthma? My kid's PD did and I find it hard to believe that a chronic cough with no other symptom is linked to asthma. Anyway we will give you Zytrec and nasal spray for a month then review his condition again.

Hi Jess/Gisele,
May i know what nasal spray your PD prescribed? My girl has similar problem, and PD prescribed the Steroid stuff to inhale. I'm not comfortable with it, but she has been coughing on and off for very long, sigh.

Hi Gisele
Well, the PD said that if we allow the cough to persist, it might develop into asthma if left untreated.
Previously, I also didn't believe that it is necessary to send my kids to the PD for cough. However, I realised that unless it is common cough, sending to the GP doesn't help and I also heard of many similar cases from other parents. I suppose our air quality has worsened and children are kept in indoor places too often. Maybe that's why children fall ill so easily....

Hi Mummies

My girl for the past 2weeks have been having dry cough only in the morning and night. In the day no coughing. This is the 1st time she's like that after she recovered from flu. Give her Zyrtec every night as PD prescribed it. But not much help.

Gisele and Ann

Just to share, Zyrtec is medication for runny or blocked nose, not for cough. And it should be given only once a day, not twice!

I give my boy (2 and half years) 5ml Procodin before he goes to sleep. Helps with cough.

I've never try chinese medicine before for my girl. How does it taste like? Is chinese medicine and 'tui na' gd for the cough?

Doremifa
The nasal spray is flixonase. I was also quite uncomfortable to give my son nasal spray initially so I consulted two other doctors and they said it is quite safe and the dosage is very low. I heard from a radio program that steriod nasal spray is the most common prescription for allergic rhinits. It is useful for postnasal drip which irritates the throat.

I think Zyrtec is for allergies. PD only prescribed it once a day to be given at night before sleep. But giving Zyrtec alone is not effective if the kid is already coughing quite badly. Other cough and phlegm medicine are needed to stop the symptoms first. Probably ventolin to open up airways as well.

I think Chinese medicine may be more helpful if given after the cough stops. It is probably more effective for strengthening the immunity system. The other concern is Chinese medicine are more difficult to administer for kids becos they look and taste horrible....

Gisele,
Thanks for reply.

JessChan,
Thanks for sharing.
PD prescribed the same thing for my girl, and told me 1 puff twice a day is only about 100mcg, which is very low and will not have any side effect.
Same to you, I have seen a few PDs, but the cough/phlegm medicines just didn't work for my girl and she has been coughing from Dec last year for about half a year before i saw this PD, and the spray in fact stopped her cough after sometime.
PD prescribed some allergy medicine(not Zyrtec) initially, but it didn't work after 2mths+, thus the nasal spray.
My girl is on the spray for about 3mths, and i will bring her for a review soon, hopefully can stop the spray. But PD said once her cough is back, she needs to be on it again.
I agree with you TMC is more for maintenance, can't really treat the cough.

Do you mind to share where your PD from? I found it's more convincible if we see different PDs. Mine is from Kinder clinic @Mt. Alvernia.

Hi,
My gal also suffers from cough recently that didn't seem to stop. To our surprise, it was due to the nose.. her nose is sensitive and the lining was already inflammed for a while. The secretions from the nose has caused her to cough when she swallows. She was put on zytec, ventolin (to allow opening of the airways when sleeping) and nasal spray. The spray was 2x day n night initially to curb the swelling in the nose for a week Then finally, reduced to once, to be contniued for a month. She recovered! No coughs! then last week, it was like that again. We were sure that she did not have cold drinks, sweets but the same kind of dry cough came back. I quickly put her on the same regime, the cough went away. For my case, think it was really a nose problem....

Hi Mothers, my boy (now 3 yo) used to have night coughs and it got bad in dec 2006 when he develops fever, recovered, and fever again...this followed by loss of apetite. That's when we actually brought him to KK A&E. He was diagnosed with pneumonia! I didn't realise that he came to such a stage from something very common...but as a pharmacist, I know what medicines can do, they only treat symptoms and my son's condition will never improve. He will still have coughs due to his allergies.So i told myself that I must look for alternative. and with God's grace my pharmacist friend introduce me to Cordymax..ITs cordyceps in a caps.

I gave him half cap (that time)a day for about a month. Now, I'm really really grateful to God for introducing me to this. He can actually sleep thro the night . Now he is not taking any cordymax..I gave him fish oil and multivits for general well being.. after that episode, I really feel that nothing can beat health. I'm realy grateful. Now, I'm taking Cordymax for stamina ...:-).

I know some have been boiling cordyceps but there's a simpler way to take and most importantly, its active ingredient is in the caps. Not sure if whatever we boil will means an effective dose.

hi mummies,
not sure if u all believe this or if its mere coincidence... dun give chicken, egg and fish when your little one is having cough. it seem to help speed up recovery process. my girl was down very badly once. the moment she coughed, she would vomit everything including medicine. i didn't give her any of the above and she fully recovered within a wk. i wasn't convinced then esp fish. but decided to give it a try since she was not any better after consulting 2 doc. perhaps mummies can share similar experience?

As far as i know from Chinese docs, kids shldnt get too boost on tonics.. not gd as well. Pls visit a chinese doc to chk on yr ger's condition before giving any tonics. :-) Different ppl has diffenent body condition, tonics might not be workable for everyone. :-)

Have bought it but have yet to let her try....

and my pediatric did tell me abt the lungs tonic that my ger can try...has anyone ever buy it before?

Hi, I am new here and my son now 4 yrs old used to have a very bad cough! I treated him with Asian Pear (Brown Pear) double boil it for 3 hrs with 1 tsp Nan Xing & Bei Xing (Nan Xing & Bei Xing)! Add some Chuan Bei if your child has phelgm!
Till now he is still drinking it if i hear any sound of cough... Meanwhile I have oso been constantly giving him the gummy bears wif echniacea (1 Tablet) daily!

Lo3123:
I think my son has tried using the lungs tonic which your pediatric recommend! It doesn't really works for my son, moreover I am not really keen as it is quite costly, inhaler form & dun wanna my son to be too dependent on it..

For my son is mostly abt school virus and diet.

We changed his milk form Gain IQ to Dumex, and we can see tat gain iq has lots of omega and usually the milk bottle is very oily. For Dumex, its less dense, not so heavy looking than Gain iq. den he kinda feels better after changing the formula.

Recently i tried stopping his fish intake and OMG! He stopped coughing even when he is usually coughs before sleep! And we have stopping his fish intake since last mth. Doing very well now..but he still will cough slight if he plays too too hard.

puppygal

do u believe in chinese medication? U might wana try :-) My son started having broncitis during 17 mths, den recently before vesak say was the 2nd time.. KKH gave him very strong antiboctics frm usual 7 days dosage to 10 days dosage! This realli harmed his lungs, became too cooling for his body and he is heaty based.. so its a mixture of cooling and heatiness.. very ma fan to cure.. now so glad tat he is much better now but we still need to follow up with chinese medication and tui nan.

For tui nan, we had him massaged 3 times a week.. now onli once a week :-) it onli took abt 2-3 wks to see the results from tuinan, he sleeps better and coughing is not tat bad.

Very often, my girl is contracted with cough and running nose, almost every 2-3 months.
According, to my pedaetrician, it's because my girl is very sensitive to weather change.

I bought this Korean Taekuk ginseng powder from Korea more than a year ago. According to them, it helps to build your immune system and it is suitable for young children.

I dare not try on my girl until about 4 months when my friend told me that it works well for her 2 children. They have been taking that for more than half a year.

As of now, my girl has not gone back to see the pedaetrician despite of the cold weather (touch wood!!!).
I suppose the ginseng powder really works :-)

Hi Vone83, thanks for the info, I'm aware of it cos I'm a pharmacist. Many drugs have side effects as well. I made the choice to give cordymax because of the 6S quality process taken by the company pharmanex, go and look at the company's background, do your own research. When my boy was hospitalised, I made a decision to give him supplements as those medications can only relieve his symptoms not cure. I'm looking for a cure. ANyways, afteryou look up the relevent info ( for your own benefit)...you can try it. I've not seen any other supplemet company putting science into supplements, and safety is my #1 priority. he's my son. I've recommend to moms who have the same problem like me and they love it too! I take them as well for stamina. Happy researching...make an informed choice and not based on biaseness..I'm sincere in my sharing. :-)

Hi Zooey, do you have a family history of asthma? you can look into supplementing your kid with the basic nutrition for general health. Then take additional supplements to boost the immunity, stengthen their lungs etc.This is what I adopt with my children after I take the time to find out more abt the importance of supplementation even at an early age. I'm happy with the results, now I give th basic supplements Jungamal and marine omega and occasionally add on cordymax, tegreen, colostrum, G3 etc when needed. They do get colds, cough occasionally but they recover fast, and I appreciate this a lot. I also appreciate the fact that I can take control of their health, and not rely solely on the family doctors or medicine which can only help with their symptoms. I dont know abt other mothers, I truly value health especially for my children and family. So, if you are keen, I can share more with you Zooey, the choice is still yours, I'm glad to share my knowledge to help more moms and children alike. Your kid is lucky to have a mum who wants to look for alternative help with their health, I've seen many who just refuse to change and its sad.

Hi jojo, I think I've shared above, they are frm Pharmanex. You can do your quick research on the brand, but believe me, nothing compared to the 6S quality process they employ for all their supplements something i've not seen in other brands, I can share more in person. Just call me at 98006632. Very happy to help.

Hi A single dad here. my daughter has suffered from same symptom as mentioned. She was coughing as frequent as twice a month for a period of 2 weeks. She finished at least 6 to 7 bottle of syrups which i find very harmful to her. As a result, I resort to bringing her to a Chinese doctor instead. After reading her pulse the doctor immediately diagnose that phlegms are still remaining in her lungs which cause her cough to relapse. He also pointed out that western medication may not be helpful in this case. The Chinese medication provided was say to be able to purge the phlegms remain. On the third day, she totally recovered. Now I am monitoring her condition.

The following works for my kids.
1. Cough Syrup must be given asap when the cough starts.It is useless when it is more than 10 coughs and beyond.You need to wake up even if its middle of night to help your kid.
2. This Chinese cough syrups works but prices can varies greatly from diff shops.African Sea Conconut. (red/yellow packaging)
3. Aircon and Fan should be switched off right away. (Fan worsen the cough as it blows cold air into thge lungs esp if direct)
4. If the flam has gone from throat to lungs, you can sometimes hear hissing when you place your ear against the chest. By this time, it is useless to apply anything, you can only wait for it to stop by itself.
5. If your kid has been coughing for long term, it takes longer time for full recovery since the lungs have been damaged and takes time to heal.
6. Feel the throat, if it is cold, encourage your kid to cover it with a cloth to warm it up. (Do not do this if your kid is too young)
7. Sitting upright helps somehow.
8. Vicks does not work for my kids, prefer not to apply.

They respond better to Chinese Medicine as compared to Western medicine.
They can take Western medicine for 2-3 weeks but can never heal completely but with TCM, within a week, everything (esp the stubborn phelgm) is gone.

Hi passila
When my son was btw 2-3, used to cough alot and he wil cough til vomit esp when he is lying down/sleeping position. Lost count how many times we changed his bedsheet.
He is 5 now, immunity is stronger.
I gave Vit C (liquid form is better than gummies), Cod liver oil, manuka honey (occasionaly).
I switched to TCM and realised that he responds v well to TCM and his phlegm clears off in few days after TCM medicine... unless western medicine, can take for 3 wks but still cant clear e phlegm.

Hi tamayotaok,

Can you advise which TCM did you bring your child to? DS is having serious rhinitis.
