Western clinic or TCM clinic? My wife has been coughing for one week. Tried some cough med from pharmacy and some Chinese med but so far still coughing much.

Dunno which good doctor to see who is good at dealing with cough

Dr. Akmal.

Please visit a clinic and have a proper checkup.

The reason the medicine not working because they are mostly for dry cough.

They are cough surpressent. They work immediately after 15 min you take it. But cough will come back once medicine effect gone.

If your cough is viral infection with mucus one those medicine basically will be going out from your buttock without any effect.

In that case, just wear medical mask, wash hands using soap, sanitize your phones regularly, don't go out often, take immunity boost milk, vitamin C, and sleep. This is to prevent any secondary infection so that your immune can focus on fighting off your current infection

as /ktards say.. go for a proper medical checkup.. with so many foreign workers, you don't know what is being circulated..
in good old days, few.. now with frequent changes n visitors every non local sickness is circulating..
i know of a case, a maid, passed medical in her country... failed medical upon arrival in malaysia..

Go see Dr check la, manatau TB(highly unlikely).

Yeah most med doesn't work on her and also for me. In the past, I know a good tcm doc in petaling street but he passed away already. Now usually recover only after one month

It could be TB since you said the cough is persistent and week-long. Wear a mask and don’t spread it.

If it’s ordinary cough, then go outside and get a sun tan daily. 15 minutes each front and back. Vitamin D from the sun is what helps us with Covid, now imagine what it does for other illnesses.

I will see ENT when i get bad cough. It works for me.

1️⃣ Reflux control (very important)

Avoid food 2–3 hours before bed

Reduce:

Coffee / tea

Spicy, oily food

Late-night supper

Elevate head slightly when sleeping

(Even mild reflux can cause cough)

2️⃣ Air-con & dryness

Drink water regularly (small sips)

Avoid direct air-con blowing at face

Warm drinks help (not ice)

3️⃣ Mucus / post-nasal drip

Saline nasal spray or rinse (if available)

If allergy suspected → clinic antihistamine may help


not TB la. so easy tb meh. we not like living in the past all crowded together. most probaly change of weather due to yr end and body reacted. ur wife got always drink cold, coffee, eat spicy or oily will easily kena. folo the above by chatgpt

She took tiger milk mushroom n vit c also but still not recovering

Cough 1 week small matter.

I cough min 1 - 3 months since covid-ed

Is it dry and white like mine?

Seem like after kena COVID, need one month to recover

Need to massage lymph node.. thise node are jammed up

Start with facial.. the nodes behind the ears to the jaw point

Then underneath the jaw bone (tarik all way to the neck)

Then collarbone and shoulder bones left and right..

Try this concoction
Soak sliced big onions in honey overnight.
Take a table spoon every 6 hours.
It has worked for our family every time.

I will just get cheap anti histamine behind the counter because it's a control item

Take that for the stupid cough to stop and allow the body to supress the spreading mechanism forced by the virus via coughing.

That stop, virus will die out.

No cough medicine needed.

Virology paper i took during undergrade really paid off.

Wow virology paper

Better go through a thorough check up. It happened to my mum. She tried ways, even going to the doctor but nothing helped. Went to TCM, gave her this and that. Never actually helped. Most importantly, it was a failed diagnosis by the doctor during the early stage of TB, which exacerbated her case. When we found out, it was actually too late.

So seek a medical advice, you never know what is the actual cause. It could be viral, bacterial, etc., treat it before it's too late.
