The fruit season is here and we are feasting on all kinds of local fruit everyday. They are so good that we can’t resist just eating one or two. Further more, they are free. Either we pluck from the tree (rambutan), wait for it to drop (durian), neighbour come to share theirs (durian, langsat, binjai, longan) and from grandfather’s tree (mangosteen, langsat). All this fruit are heaty fruits. Eat too much of it, you will surely start coughing and get sore throat.

It is easier for the adult to control but for the children; once you are out of their sight, they pluck the rambutan and eat as much as they can.

I have no problem with my 2 little ones because they are too short to reach the rambutans but Belle is coughing now!

I wanted to bring her to the doctor but hubby said that it is not necessary. “Just make sure she drinks lots of water.” So once we arrived the kindergarten, I told the teacher to make sure Belle drinks a lot of water. By the time I fetch her, I don’t hear her coughing anymore; I thought of still bringing her to the doctor.

I asked why is she not coughing. She told me that she drank a lot of water; finished the whole bottle and her teacher top up again but she cannot finish all; too much.

The cough didn’t go away immediately; she still cough but not to the extend that her lung might pop out. Whenever I hear her coughing non stop, I will remind her to drink a cup of water and she can gulp a full cup at one go; just like her daddy. I cannot drink so much water at one time; my tummy cannot take it.

Today, I have not hear her cough. So remember, get your children to drink a lot, a lot, I mean A LOT of water when they cough.


Stumble it!
