1st Visit to A Chinese Physician

Little Arielle's cough virus has been with her for the past 1.5 years. Sadly, western medication does not seems to help kill the virus thoroughly :( She would be okie for a few days and thereafter, cough for a few weeks. It was especially bad at night and our hearts go out to her when she couldn't get a good night's sleep.

Have been wanting to try out Chinese medication instead since western medication apparently can't do the job. Finally, Mummy Me managed to find out about this Chinese physician in Kembangan which is famous for treating kids. Have decided to give it a try and hope that she would be cured completely this time round!

We reached there early at about 1.15pm and our queue number was 11. Since they are only opened at 2pm, I took Little Arielle to Kembangan plaza and we lingered around the area until 1.55pm.

When we reached the clinic again, wahhh....the place is already swarmed with people! Done the registration and we waited patiently for our turn. Luckily my queue number was good. As such, the wait was less than half an hour.

The physician heard her breathing and checked her heartbeat. She said that Little Arielle's airways were sensitive.

She has to abstain from the following food items ->
1. Cold drinks
2. Chicken
3. Birds Nest
4. Egg white and eggs related products i.e. bread, cakes etc
5. Prawns
6. Crabs
7. And of course other heaty or spicy food

Faintz lor! Cannot eat eggs related products means she doesn't really have much choice of food left. Poor thing! But what to do....the physician says that she has a lot of phelgm and if she continues to feed on such food. She would not recover! we just had to be strict this time round!

After the examination, the physician recommended her to go through 'tui na' and I sat beside her while she is being treated by another physician. The whole 'tui na' process took about 20 minutes. It included her palm, stomach, face and back.

After the session, we went to collect her medication. The pharmacist took out a big bottle of black liquid medicine and medicine powder. From far, the medicine smell is already very pungent! I am scratching my head, wondering if Little Arielle can take it or not! The damage cost $53 and we need to go for review next Saturday.

Back home, I prepared Little Arielle's medication after her feed. 1 packet of medicine powder to be mixed with the black liquid medicine.

Little Arielle stirred on her own and to my surprise, she finished it without vomitting! I am so proud of this little girl! Thank god that she can take the bitter and pungent smell. Else I would have a hard time coaxing her. Hopefully, it can work this time round :)
