Princess Belle has had a cough for one week today. No other symptoms just a cough. I'll admit it is a barky cough but again no fever, no aches, no sore throat you get the picture. I *hate* when people run to the Doctor for every little thing like a little cough! Usually these things resolve themselves within 7-10 days as it is usually viral, right? This morning I wasn't sleeping as the cough was keeping me up and my girl that likes to sleep was up at 6:00 because of the cough. Okay, now I figure we better go to the Doctor. We go to our local walk in clinic at 8:30 and are 6th in line. Whew good thing because when they opened they said it would be a 2 hour wait. Luckily, we only waited about 1 hour.
The diagnosis shocked me - PNEUMONIA!! Hear me PNEUMONIA!!!!!!
I could have been blown over by a feather. I felt so bad. However, after having a chest x-ray it is a very mild case and we were told to just continue our routine and take the awful tasting medicine for 10 days.
Oh my, I may now be going to the Doctor for everything! And I do have another 11 months to make up for this!

I hope she feels better! I can't believe it!
are you getting better now? Pei Pa Koa (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) is one of the few Chinese natural cough remedies that have been scientifically studied. it's something like herb plus honey, and it's sweet, thick and black in color. If you have a cough, look for it! It used to be one of my favourite natural cough remedies.
if your cough persists, seek professional help such as traditional Chinese medicine physicians - I have had very good experiences with them.
