Western or Chinese Doc ?

Cough, cough, pls go away :( U r bugging my lil princess' throat, sleep & daily routine. She would like to have her yummy Strawberry Ice creams again. She has not been tasting it for 6 weeks!

Her regular cough medicine does not work, gone for follow-up checks - not asthmatic or anything serious. Thank god. PD said - If this time d meds does not work, she has to be on Antibiotics.

Therefore, we chose to consult a Chinese 'Sin Seh' to see if there are better options before she's on Antibiotics. She has consulted him before for 'Heat Rash'. Yes, by boiling her d 'Chinese Herbal Medicine' to my surprise, it does wonders! She has better appetite too!

By listening to her heartbeat, 'Sin Seh' was not too happy. He shook his head & said

- She has a lot of wind. Not good.....
- Her Lungs have weakened. Shook his head....
- Avoid consuming chicken & eggs for 2 weeks....
- She seems to be quite dehydrated. Consume more water....
- Boil her more sweet soups....

 'Sin Seh' suggested she takes Cordyceps for 3 days. Ok, Cordyceps......hmmmmmmm.......must be pretty expensive aye? He went ahead to pack 3 packets of Cordyceps with mixture of --

- Tiger's Milk
- Chinese Barley
- Longan
- Cordyceps




Stew for 3 hours. Best she consumes d Chinese herbs too. Uhhhh....I highly doubt so. She may end up puking d entire drink! So, I chow down d herbs. Hehhe...I'm also recovering from my cough. So it is good for me too huh?




Taste - Bitter sweet. She did not quite like it.  No choice Honey! Just 3 days, once you're cured - U can have your yummy ice creams again.

Best part is ------ It cost us RM 450.00. Its OK, anything for our kids health.

I saw d price in d Cordyceps bottle - 3.5 Kg for RM 5,800.00 ! Wow !

Results ---------------------

She is able to sleep well through d nite, No more chesty coughs during d day, infact -- I hardly hear her cough now. :)

  1. If you have the prescription, you can grab more herbs yourself from the traditional Chinese med shop and keep them fresh in your fridge. Works every time! The RM400+ are his fees. Sinseh has to charge a lot as the gov raised their license fees by many folds earlier this year and they have comparatively less patients than the conventional GP, hence they charge quite a bomb. Glad to know she's recovered from her cough!
