syrup ventolin does not work as well as the ventolin puff ... only very little (can't remember if it's 10% or how much) gets into the respiratory system.... the syrup goes into the whole body before the little bit get into the resp system. for puff, you puff directly into the airway down into the lungs, so that's more effective... but to use an aerochamber, u need to take deep breaths and our little ones is incapable of doing that so effect is not so good. So for little kids, to best recover, it's via neubilizer.
for tuina, I go to the one at Jurong East on a weekday afternoon, so there's nobody. If on a Sat, I guess the wait is about 1-2 hrs ... I've not been to youguo coz it's on the other side of the island
tabb has said what i'm going to suggest. give notice and disappear after 1 month, I wouldn't even bother to give an explaination. I also lugi couple of weeks of fees coz I withdrew my #1 when he fell sick 2nd time within a week in a IFC ...
the vacuum cleaner that I use is Delphin. They only do door-to-door visits and I don't think there's a showroom ... for those who remember in some exhibitions last year, a company was giving away free steamers (can't remember what it's called) and only commitment is to come to do a demo; that's the company. It's water based without any filter... If I'm not wrong, Osim has a filter somewhere and what the sales guy tells us, if there's a filter, dust will go back to the air again. It's a lot of sales speech, what with Osim sales people jumping ship to join them and showing receipts of folks who trade in osim for this ... it's comes with an extra equipment that you use to "shake" the dustmites out of the beds. This is also a big item but with wheels and my maid has feedback that it's better than the normal vaccuum. it's just vacuum without any steaming features.
tabb, thanks for all the info ... I've wrote down the list of medications used and the purpose and looking at them now as I read your posting and adding on to my notes. I've heard that anthistamine is not encouraged to be used for young babies (esp under 1) as there were cases of over-dosage, so now can we administer them more readily? I've also look at runny nose on whether it's lower or upper respiratory related. If the kid is breathless after exercise, then it's lower and if you put your ear on his back, you may hear heavy puffing and that means the lungs getting congested. Now, we always use Actified to dry up the running nose (for upper resp). In the past, we used Zyrtec and Bambec when it's lower respiratory.... these are apparently more bronchitic in nature. We used Bricayl as Silomat doesn't work for us. wonder what's the effect and components of these?
