My cough has not 100% subsided yet and it has been going 'on and off' for almost two months already. However, for me...the cough is due to the itchiness in my throat that provokes the cough. I just couldn't stand any longer...I went to the private clinic yesterday as I was feeling not so good.
Guess what the doctor said?
Alhamdulillah, my lungs are clear but there are some wheezing sounds in the upper part of my respiratory organs. The doctor said that I was having asthma. I was very surprised in deed...all these time I have never been diagnosed with asthma. She said my asthma was only mild which was due to my prolonged coughing.
Then she checked my throat....again...I was very surprised when she said I was having tonsillitis!! This was again new to me :( I felt like crying at that moment. There were many whitish "things" growing along my throat inside. Now wonder I always feel irritated by the itchiness too! According to her, the tonsil whitish things were still small.
I was prescribed with these medicines......
Duro Tuss, the codeine-based cough syrup. I am allergic to any dextromethorphan-based cough syrups as the chemical can create palpitation. The antibiotics are for my tonsillitis that I should take twice a day. I hope these meds work well with me...amin...

Oh ya...I bought this aroma-therapy roll-on from the ASEAN expo for only $10. This is from Malaysia. I love the therapeutic aroma. This can reduce cough and can relieve stress. I roll the essential oils on my pulse, neck and chest. It contains the essential oils from tea-tree, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint and nutmeg.
