Have you also noticed that it seems to be very difficult to treat illnesses lately, especially simple coughs and colds? I noticed that my son is coughing really bad lately. And because I don't feel comfortable when my son is sick, I immediately have him checked up at the nearest center in our area. He was immediately prescribed medicine, but after a few days of treatment, his cough returned. No matter what I do to be careful, he always gets hurt. Even if I double his multivitamins it's still the same, I can't protect him from viruses. Last month, it was reported that the smog is bad here in our city. Because of this, many people get sick and catch a flu easily. It is also very difficult to treat this type of virus lately, so it is a pity for children like my son who are in school every day and are not very clean in their bodies. It's not easy to tell a child not to go near coughing children. And sometimes they are not always allowed to go to the restroom and wash their hands. These are some of the things that increase the chance of them getting sick.
Going back, because I don't want my son's liver to be injured by taking drugs and antibiotics, I decided to make herbal medicine for him to drink. At first, I was hesitant to try this, but upon browsing mommy chats and groups on social media, I wondered how this plant really helps to remove coughs.
Oregano is an herb that has a lot of health benefits, and one of them is that it helps to relieve coughs. This week, I noticed that my son's cough suddenly hardened, and it was as if he was coughing up phlegm, so I decided to get a lot of oregano from our garden and make an herbal drink for my son to drink.
First, I washed it well, and I picked the freshly green oreganos to consume. Then I steamed it for about 10 minutes until the plants turned dark green. After steaming, I immediately transferred the plants to a small container and squeezed well, enough to get the most juice from the oreganos.
Anyway, here is the final product: a healthy oregano drink for my loved one.
Today will mark his second day of drinking it, and I am really hoping that my son will feel better while they are still in the middle of their vacation. It is also burdensome to let a child who is sick go to school because I don't want him to infect his other classmates. It's also a pity how many days he will be absent because of this virus.
To other parents who have this situation, maybe you can try this herbal drink. Upon checking on the internet, I found that the oregano plant is also good for treating other illnesses, so maybe you can try to make a drink out of this plant.
That concludes my blog for today. See you again next time. Have a good day, Hivers!
