the things that i do not know : vicks

i am sensitive whenever my kids fell sick. especially my second born son.Compare to my eldest, he consumes breastmilk longer, so he'll be protected alot more right.at least to my thinking.

unfortunately he is not. he was caught by a coughing bug at the tender age of 3 month. how heartbroken i was, can you imagine.

now he's no where run from the coughing series. coughing followed by phlegm is another serious business. up until 11 month, on average , the series repeated once a month and lasted about 2 weeks.

we went for treatment, but seeing his activeness level and other factors, doctors clarified as mild bronchilitis, it will get better as he aged. he even warded once because he experienced mild croup. 

i read alot about this, besides asking the doctors' advise. here my share:

1. he was prescribe singulair for one month period. before that, he took the oral for a week or two only. but the doctor later stretch the time to see any improvement. i noticed after a month ending, he experienced with bad diarrhea.after checking, it is caused by the singulair.

2. settle with airways medicine. i hate to see he's taking this syrup. No 1 because it a syrup and number 2 it also cause him diarrhea. 

3. alot of balms, spray, nose drop. i have alots of them from vicks to traditional-self-proclaimed-home-remedy-balm in my house. some i used only half, and some i finished (becos its damn expensive). only to find out this:

Some of the ingredients in Vicks, notably the menthol, trick the brain into thinking that it is easier to breathe by triggering a cold sensation, which is processed as indicating more airflow. Vicks may make you feel better but it can’t help you breathe better.

An American paediatrician said if applied directly under the nose, the common remedy could cause a young child’s tiny airways to swell and fill with mucus, triggering severe breathing problems

why did not read this earlier  -___-"

i drop all menthol-base balm immediate. will update you about this later.

4. i settle with air purifier inside my room. will upgrade in the living room as well.

5. leave him sleeping at night with eucalyptus oil. Drop the oil onto the handkerchief and put beside his bed. other than that, i was suggested to use lemon oil (or lemon fruit) with steamy water.

6. at 11 month old, i give him with VCO and Olive oil,alternately. it is said to boost the immune system.

7. and few days ago i found out an interesting study of probiotic. according to the study, probiotic could aid in reducing the phlegm and increase immune system
 WOWWWW..i will try this soooon. but for a starter, i'll start with yogurt first.

thats all for now. Happy curing!

review kasut christy ng

im a bit disappointed yesterday. as much as i wanted to go to the Christy Ng's shop, i failed to amuse myself.  this i my personal view. i am sorry if it hurt. located at Uptown Damansara, u can find the shop at the 2nd level of the building.to my surprise, as i think it will be located at the ground floor for easy visiting.nevermind. step in, i was welcomed by a shouting from one of the staff to another staff , "there's customer outside!".she pressed the lock to unlocked the door.next i was directed to a small room of shoes.i guess my bedroom is larger ;p  i prompted myself to take the shoes and try..omg the sales person warned me not to try the one which doesnt suit my feet.i wasss likeeee whattttt?never in my life i got such warned even i was in charles & keith. can u nice2 telling me ha? looking at the material itself,compared to the hike price, i reaaaallly dun give a damn.or in a nice2 word, memang tak sesuai la material verses harga .for the...

Babysitter - Damansara Damai

maafkan saya tetapi ini pendapat peribadi saya yang terluka. Rindu nak menulis entry yang sarat. sebab selalu nye entry ntah hapehape.selalu cube taip di notepad tetapi gagal diabadikan sebab tk sempat habis satu perenggan dah ade kerje kene attend. sebenarnya hati saya masih lagi berbaur kecewa dengan sikap babysitter. selalu memujuk diri Allah kan maha adil.maha mengetahui.mungkin ade hikmahnye.ade tempat yang lebih baik. tetapi hati selalu teruji sebab benda-benda remeh.lalu terus mengaitkan dengan hal babysitter. begini cerita nya.. lepas kelahiran baby D, saya dan suami masih lagi kabur pasal kepentingan babysitter/taska.kami sangka dengan bertanya SEORANG DUA masalah kami selesai..TARAAA saya rasa telah bertanya hampir separuh daya saya hilang. kami mencari sehinggakan Baby D terpakse ditransportkan semula ke Ipoh.sampai la kami jumpa babysitter yang sekarang ni,mari kenali dengan nama M.saya telah meletakkan iklan di majalah.com dan beberapa orang telah ...

review butik pengantin - ipoh

Ipoh can be classified as a small town thus the option for brides could be a little narrow (in terms of material/design) but somehow its still helped. when i first did my survey on boutique, i was putting quite alot of hopes. i want something  similar  to the magazine.hehe. i had wrote a quick review remember? cakap melayu la plak.hehehe and finally i choose Butik Inai Pengantin located in Taman Soon Choon.nak pegi survey butik tak susah.but from my experience, it is more than enough if you compared 3-4 boutiques only.tak payah pening2.sebab itu pun dah ckup banyak dan makan byk masa tambah2 kalau u alls keje kat tempat lain. the time frame?dalam 5-6 bulan sebelum majlis.itu pun kalau bukan tarikh favorite.kalau tarikh fav mungkin lagi awal. saya pilih butik inai sebab: 1) dekat dengan rumah 2) ada pelamin bunga besar seperti yang diharapkan 3) kebanyakkan kedai yang saya survey adalah lebih kurang je harga die 4) assistant die  agak bagus j...
