Now she have to take Singulair (4 mg).
What is singulair??? ( RM 6 per packet for 4mg)
Singulair is a leukotriene (loo-koe-TRY-een) inhibitor. Leukotrienes are chemicals your body releases when you breathe in an allergen (such as pollen). These chemicals cause swelling in your lungs and tightening of the muscles around your airways, which can result in asthma symptoms.
Singulair is used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children as young as 12 months old. It is also used to relieve runny nose and sneezing caused by allergies in adults and children as young as 6 months old.
Do not give Singulair to a child without a doctor's advice.
Singulair is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the air passages in the lungs) in adults and teenagers who are at least 15 years old and are not already taking this medicine for other conditions.

CK, you can try to apply Nutmeg oil/balm on her chest before going to bed or during the night whenever she cough, this will ease her cough. If she sleep in the air-cond room wear enough cloth for her, my lui wear her pyjamas plus one singlet outside. During the night when she cough, feel her shoulder, if cold, rub some tiger balm to warm it.
You can also try to boil the mint leave (厚薄荷叶) with 蜜枣+ 冰糖(very little), very good for coughing.
