Sick

Been sick for almost one and a half month. Started with sore throat and took antibiotics. After recovered for one weeks, the sore throat returned with cough. No matter how much of antibody and cough medicine I took, it still could not put me to sleep well. I've been getting up middle of the night and kept coughing. Doctor gave me some bronchitis and ashtma medication, that did worried me, I even went to SDMC and seek for opinion from other doctors. Even that could not help me from night coughing.

I was really tired of taking antibiotics and hubby persuaded me to seek Chinese medicine. So I went to this Chinese herbal shop and this auntie/ sinseh gave me a pack to herbal that cost me RM 21. After double boiled for 5 hrs, it smells terrible like almond (sorry, I took almond nuts but I really hate the drinks). I drank it at about 10pm and went to sleep at 12am. Surprisingly, it did stopped my coughing, but I still couldn't sleep, plus I was sweating the whole night. The second day I went to buy another portion and this time, she charged me RM24, with the reason she added some sugar coated ginseng. I boiled it the next day and drank it at 7 pm. I sleep through the whole night without coughing. Thank God.

Unfortunately, I started to felt sore throat again, my midnight cought went but day cough started and invited their friends, flu and body ache. I started to feel light headed and tooth ache. I think the herbal drinks had converted my cold to heat. I really dunno what to do, I no longer dare to take MC since I already took more than 3 days MC throughout this month. I also no longer comfortable to take antibiotics, so what I do was.... I did not do anything. Just let it cure on its own. Somehow, I couldn't stand the pain that causing my tooth and body ache, I did took some flu medicine. My colleagues advice me to drink some "Yong Sam Sou" and one of them even help me to buy 3 portions of "Old Yong Sam". After few days of consuming Chinese medication, I started to have better sleep, no sore throat and less body ache.

I am still having heavy flu ang lots of phlegm. Worse is, my hubby started not feeling well. He is having sore throat with lots of phlegm. Sigh... lucky is he has seen doctor and hopefully he can recover soon.
