Triana Indri Maharani: please make clean your home.
Winnie Yeo: My 3 yr old has this prob too and I brought her to c TCM at Eu Yan Sang and she recovered.
Azsuqa Harry: Another alternative is homeopathy treatment
Sally Yeow: U may like to try Dr Ngiam @ International Child & Adolescent Clinic, Gleneagles Hosptial Annex Block, 64711077. My 2 kids have been seeing him since birth whenever they have cough & typically after the medication they recover within max 2 wks. Hope it’s helps 😉
Juliana Wong-Sim: And please check the diet too. My girl was about 2 years old then and was coughing persistently for 3 mths. Finished so many bottles of chlormine, Rhinathiol and Zyrtec. Fluimucil also didnt help much. Washed all the bed linen. One day, I realised that after she ate had nutella, her cough returned. I watched her diet and kept her away from nuts and choc, she recovered fully soon after.
She’s 3+ now and ok to nuts and choc.
Lussy Dewi Adikoesoemo: i gave my sons Gan mao Qing Re Ke Li (for kids) from Tong Ren Tang when ever they have runny nose, fever or cough.
Michelle Yar Lee: dont give them fruits it will worsen the cough…
Zarina Hashim: give him/her Scott’s Emulsion Cod Liver Oil! its work!
Connie Chan: should take them to a pediatrician n see weather they’re allergic to anything …..
Annabelle Ang: My son had on off coughs too.. I jus brought him to Eu Yan Sang Specialist at Paragon on Monday.. And now hes recovering..
Valerie N Tan: If you’re living in the east area, go to KidsLink at Bedok North. Tel. 6 2 4 3 3 2 4 3 Dr Lim specializes in respiratory problems.
Tan Yee Ping: Yu Guo tuina is good. but have to go regularly to build up immune.
Nana Ng: Another place for good Tui Na is Ren Hai Clinic at 27 Neil Road. Look for Dr Adelyn Tan. It’s by app onli and I feel it’s more personal tat way 🙂 She’s been practising Paediatric Tui Na for 15 yrs.
No harm giving it a try. My boy was having bad cough recently too and went for the Tui Na and he’s so much better now.
Luz Lintot-alias: also good one doctor is Dr. Lee Yip Mui Cecilia. PAEDIATRIC AND FAMILY MEDICAL CENTRE PTE LTD. Blk 139 Tampines Street 11 #01-52 Singapore 521139. Tel 6783 8743.
Serene Yap: Oh yeah dr lee at tampines is gd !!!! Thumb up but nw she on holiday would only be back on 11 may ….
Jenice Tai: Your child could be allergic to something. Take him to Dr. Tan Siew Pin for an allergy test. 67386488 – Olive tree Clinic.
David Chan: try Doc Simon Ng at Mount Alvernia Medical center, Tink its #02-02.
Pauline Poh: Robitussin cough syrup in Red colour packaging is good. Can get it from NTUC unity
Imelzarita Ismail: Hi! i sent my son to the clinic at BLK 263 Compassvale Street…Within 2-3 days, cough, fever or even week long diarrhea was cured.
Yeo Jiat Yee: you can try propolis from Yee Yan Sang. It really help. My girl is a premature, always having cough, since I have started the propolis. Seldom visit doctor.
Liya Lim: it could be ur home.. mayb ur child is allergic to pets, plants, carpet or soft toys..
Sioyan Ng: Control diet… don’t give too much cold stuff…but do not give bird’s nest….
Patricia Alvisse: Get rid of carpets, soft toys, change pillow case and bed sheet often.
Doc Dana E Srither: Yes, highly suspicious of allergy cough. Prospan is a good anti-allergy cough syrup. Avoid air-con, carpets, softtoys and pets.
Kelly Kc: The cause could be environmental as well as viral (caused by bacteria/virus). Environmentally, it could be chemicals in detergent residues in clothes, bed sheets, chemicals in room fragrances, perfumes. If it’s a viral cough, up his immunity with oregano leaves (made into tea or can be added to milk). Oregano leaves are natural antibodies (without side-effects) and can be found in organic shops.
Karen Chua: Hv your child check does he has sinus. Sinus will caused coughing too.
Mohana Sundary: It could be tonsil problems. Get an ENT specialist to check his
throat.
Chiou Lin: Does he has phlegm problem? If so try switching him from formula to fresh milk. My son been having cough/phlegm prob from oct 08 to oct 09! Ever since I switched him to fresh milk last oct, he doesn’t gimme much prob now. Pour e desired amt of fresh milk into his milk bottle & warm it up by putting e bottle into a cup of hot water. Ready in 5 mins time or more if u prefer warmer milk for him.
Shirley Chong: my son also hving tis on off coughing but i know tat his main problem is those sweet snacks and poor water intake.. i tried to control his intake of sugary stuff and keep him atleast 4-6 glass water now he’s fine 😉
