Anya : Cough and Cold
Anya’s been unwell these past few days. Her nose’s been runny since last week, and just when it got better yesterday, she started coughing. Quite phlegmy too.
Poor kid. She coughs but she can’t get the phlegm out of the throat. I guess it’s pretty annoying to feel something’s stuck on the throat, choking you, but there’s nothing you can do about it.
I notice quite a lot of other people’s kids also have a runny nose or a cough right now. I’m not sure if it’s because of the unfriendly weather we have right now, the haze or the ashes from the burning joss-sticks and fake paper money (note: Most Chinese regards this month as the ‘Hungry Ghost‘ month).
Perhaps it’s just because the flu season is back right now.
Anyway, here’re some useful info on coughs and cold in kids.
