Myth or Fact ?


My Ee Ee just pointed out that I gave my cough and flu germs to my Mah-Mah last week :( ... now Mah-Mah is coughing real bad ...


Mah-Mah, please take your medicine to get well ...


Doctor pointed out that there are certain foods that really can promote cough - just like what those old Chinese Grandmamas say - aiyoh, cough aldi kenot eat those things ah !!


Apparently, fruits like Oranges, Grapes, Cherries, Pears, Watermelons promote phelgm but apples and papayas are ok (mind bogling) ... Doctor even dare Papa to try it and see if the cough gets worse :O ... huh !


Niways, my favourite drink now is Apple juice :D
Remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

sweetie, just avoid the things that can trigger your intolerance reactions. coughing is often a symptom of mild allergies which start by affecting the throat. generation of phlegm is a by-product of the body trying to falsely overcome what it thinks is a germ attack on the ear/ nose/ throat system. even a mild reaction has the potential to develop into cold- or flu-like symptoms. Poor baby. Have a care, won't you?
