Cough

I have a phobia of cough... the chest hurts when one coughs.
My girl had been coughing for a while and she has a sensitive throat. So do I.
I just learnt that an ex-colleague has taken ill due to cough. It is sad.
Why can't everyone live healthily? What food causes and ignites cough...?I get very 'mang zhang' when I hear the persistent cough from my girl sometime back... while it seems under control, the cough comes back when she 'takes something' that can aggrevate it. I feel hurt again.

Recipe given by my aunt who consulted a sinseh:
川贝,南北杏,吉饼,鸭梨
Double boil everything for 2 hrs. Or if use slow cooker, 3 hrs. No need to add rock sugar as it is sweet enough. Try to take this before sleep. It soothes the throat and good for the lungs.

This is my self made recipe. You can leave out the 吉饼 out if you prefer something not too sweet. 白木耳 is good for the lungs. 无花果 is good for soothing cough as well.

川贝,南北杏,吉饼,无花果,白木耳

For this, can cook about 20-30 mins will do.
