My coughing has gone into the second week with no sign of receding. Gets worse with air-conditioning especially in the car as the blower tends to blow directly.
Even now, in an air-conditioned room, I'm coughing away every 5 minutes or so.
Medication? Have taken the newly packaged Bena as prescribed by the physician, bought Woods and stole some 'Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa' from Wak Jen... no change.
Had some sore throat earlier, which started the coughing. The sore throat was due to whacking almost a kilo of fried egg-coated peanuts in one sitting.
Remembered a home-made remedy of a concoction of Tamarind Paste with warm water to be mixed with some molasses to help alleviate the sore throat. Last week I can't find any molasses at home hence attempted to use the brown sugar to make (which is really raw sugar mixed with molasses) to a lesser effect.
Went to my parent's on Sunday to send my Dad to Airport for his BKI trip and found some molasses in their larder. After a hearty cup of the concoction, today, the soreness were gone!
Next is to look for Pure local honey (not the Australian brand) for another home-made concoction to be mixed with a few drops of Lime Juice for the cough. This is another home-made remedy that I can swear that will work.
Hmm.. where do I get pure honey??
