It all started in August… around Raya time, if I’m not mistaken. Initially, it was few and far between. I tried hard to suppress it, but to no avail. The frequency and intensity soon escalated. And soon, my sleep was disrupted by bouts of coughing. It was so bad that I sometimes ended up vomiting. When I suspected, and later confirmed, that I was pregnant, I was adamant about not taking any medication. My hubby was at his wits’ end. Unwilling to let me suffer any longer, he searched online for a remedy and got himself busy…
Ingredients:
pear, red dates, rock sugar, water
Steps:
i. Peel the pear and slice it.
ii. Boil the pear with some red dates.
iii. Add rock sugar to taste.
iv. Let it simmer.
I dare not vouch for the effectiveness of this remedy but I can honestly tell you that I was really touched by Kiate’s loving effort. Thank you hubby~
