You too try almond tips

My 6 years old son has a cough. He often has it in severe conditions. Doctors diagnosed it as black cough. Medications also are not much helpful.  I am in much trouble. Please suggest me a way out. ( Mrs Shahid)

Suggestion:

Black cough is a painful disease. A child cannot bear its pain. I suggest you to use almond tip. Dip 5 almonds into water in evening. Add some misri to it in the morning. Chop a garlic clove to it. Chop all of these finely. And serve it to child. Cough will heal within three days in’sha’Allah. In old age women use to fry clove on fire and mix it in honey and use it. Likewise, clove juice, honey and water are also effective. 

It’s not a disease

When I read scary ghost stories at night after 11 pm when my house lights are all switched off, then whenever I read some scary narration, I feel a rush of heart beat which prolongs a bit. I haven’t shared it with anyone else. I feel strange.  Isn’t it a disease? ( ammarah )

Suggestion:  never read scary stories at night. It gives stress to eyes and mind. Scary narrations affect heart. 

Sore throat

I am always having a sore throat. After flu, I suffer from cough. I cannot even talk then. Cousins make fun of me. I have taken medications, but of no use. Please suggest me some easy convenient tips. ( Sawera, Quetta)

Suggestion: Don’t use cold water frequently, as it hurts the throat. Mix a spoon of honey in boiling water and drink it gradually.  Take black pepper 15g, maleethi 10g,  misri 25g, grind them well. Take this powder thrice a day. Thus your throat will get better. Avoid sour food. And whenever you catch a cold, just boil some water and add half spoon cinnamon powder to it. Add a pinch black pepper powder and a spoon honey to it. It will take two to three days to heal. Sore throat, malaria, influenza viral attack can be cured by this tea.
