I still have rattlesnake in my chest but the volume is getting lesser per day. Usually it will take longer than this to get them out till the extent I fill like throwing fits.
So how did I do it?
This will be a gross entry and you might say pedulik apa aku kahak kau tanak kluar but to those who are suffering with the same problem, they will understand akan kesengsaraan ini.
Desperate to live and breath like normal, I surf the mighty Internet and found this page. When I read the page, I got reminded of the similar method my emak used to use when I was a toddler. Aku ni dari kecik ada penyakit ni, sampai dr dekat wad pediatrik assunta tu dah kenal sangat aku. Dahla keding, muka kecik telinga besar lepas tu selalu sakit, mestila orang kenal balik-balik muka dia ni. My emak always told me she never thought that she would see me blossom like this, selalu sangat sakit macam takde harapan nak besar. Lepas tu kan aku paling benci bila doktor tu letak macam tiub ke apa ntah dekat hidung and start some mean machine. Sakit gila but machine yang jahat itu sangat perkasa dalam menyedut kahak. Tapi aku benci sebab sakit. Apa nama machine tu ye?
Just that as I grew older, I never practised the method anymore sebab takde siapa nak tepuk belakang aku dah. Tapi sekarang dah ada pak sanggup. Hehe.
So anyway, like I said, emak used similar method cuma she dissolved few tablespoons [tak payah banyak of vicks] into the boiling water and suruh aku suakan muka aku ke besen itu sedekat yang mungkin and asked me to inhale and exhale sedalam yang boleh. What I did now is, while exhaling and inhaling I covered myself with kain batik, kira macam stimla jugakkan. Why vicks? Because vicks ada eucalyptus, seeloknya you just dissolve eucalyptus oil lah terus, mana nak dapat, tak tahu ok, sini bukan kaunter pertanyaan, pegi tanya dekat pharmacyla. So inhale and exhale for about 5 to 10 minutes. Jangan lupa tutup mata, pedih gila.
Later, lie down on your chest, at the end of a bed or flat kerusi with your head, shoulders and back hanging out ouf the bed. Jangan lupa sediakan 1 bekas dan sekotak tissue. Bekas untuk kumpul kahak [eee] dan tissue untuk lap-lap hingus or air mata. Gila banyak keluar air mata niiiiii.

The ask somebody to pound your back with cupped hands. Tangan tak boleh rata nanti sakit but cupped it. While the other person is doing the pounding, you have to inhale and exhale sedalam yang boleh and cough as hard as you can, memang sakit dan azab but the phlegm will come out sampai kadang-kadang kau termuntah. Oh ye, don’t do this immediately after you eat, lain pulak yang keluar karang. Buat dalam 5 menet, twice a day.
From my experience, it works and I definitely feel better after that. Siap boleh makan soto dengan nasi biryani terus haha.
If you have a baby who is suffering with this problem, you can skip the steaming part and proceed with the pounding, cuma kau janganla tepuk sekuat hati, gugurla pulak jantung dia nanti, agak-agakla. Insyallah, the phlegm will be released. Cuma jangan hope lepas sekali buat dah elok, kene banyak-banyak kalila, sebab dia slow-slow keluar.
Ok dah sekian sahaja pelajaran kali ini bersama dr sharina. Hahah.
Prasan padahal kimia pon C6. Ceh.
