Well, I guess the blue capsules that contains Chinese herbs powder aren't the ultimate solution for curing my persistent whooping cough but it did alleviate my severe cough significantly. It did its job in treating the cough but not curing it. After a 2 day course, I cough less often in comparison to two days ago. I would say it is effective in alleviating my cough but not curing it. And that's still a remarkable improvement for me as I had tried many cough medicines out there which proved to be totally useless against the whopping cough.

The strange thing about my cough session this time is I didn't generate any phlegm. So it is a bit difficult to know whether I suffer from "cold" or "hot" cough. Meaning my cough stems from cold or heatiness.

Anyway, there are a few precautions that I have taken during the course of this period in order to get myself in better shape (getting rid of the cough, I mean).

During this time, I drink more water. Definitely more than 1.5 l a day. Stay away from those spicy food. One more thing which I feel is a very important point in accelerating one recovery towards a cough free life (also shared by the Chinese herbal shopkeeper that sold me the blue capsules) is to stay away from the constant air fan. Yup, if you can't stand the current heat spell due to the hazy condition that we currently experience, let the table fan turned. Don't let it fixed in facing you and blowing on your face. That's definitely not going to put your cough away.

For those working in the office, I guess the air cond will carry the same damaging effect if not worse. If that is the case, try not sit in the direction of the air vent of the air cond and also lower the air cond temperature (possible if you can persuade your colleagues).
