古方治咳

The flu virus was a nasty one. 

It came fast - sore throat, continuous dry cough, and then fever, colds, and then pain all over the bones and muscles. The fever lasted two days at least and the cough more than one week. 

The cough just didn't go away. I got woken up by the phlegm, which made strange music. 

Thanks to a blog friend, the orange + 川贝粉 + honey = steam for 15 minutes, miraculously cured the bad cough. Finally, I got a peaceful night with uninterrupted sleep.
