Coughing? Eat durians!
I have been having this persistent cough with itchy throat for almost 1 mth already. It has been torturing me (and my hubby) for days and nights (yes, it’s that bad that we couldn’t get a gd nite sleep…)!
Have seen the doc thrice, however, the medicines given are useless. I am left with no choice but to see the sinseh at the chinese traditional medical hall. I was assessed to be having “寒咳“ – meaning that the cause of my cough was due to the body being too “cold”, thus I have to stay away from cold drinks, fruits and anything which supposed to be “凉“。 The sinseh also “koyoh” and tell me that if I take this “special mixed powder” for cough, and keep away from cold stuff, I shall recover. I hesitated as the few mini packs of powder (which will only last me for 3 days) cost $35!
Me (whispering softly to Alan): “Wah, day light robbery leh!”
Alan: “Never mind, just buy and try lor. As long as you can recover…”
Me: “Hmm… since I have to avoid all the cold stuff, does that mean that I can take the heaty stuff?!”
Alan: “Ya, should buy durians for you!”
Me (*evil grin, rubbing hands): “Woo…ah….muahahaha…”
So, we bought durians last night and I practically ate as much as I can take.
Believe it or not, I slept like a baby last night. 
P.S.: Btw, we bought the powder and I did consume abit. The result was not as gd as durians.
