Drizzle-Sniffle

Sorry I am a bit under the weather today...last Saturday's drizzle instantly gave me this combo colds and flu... it's a good thing that I have plotted today as my VL otherwise, I would have done badly on my calls or called in sick, which I can't afford. My friend, Abie, who is currently residing in the US, called earlier this morning. It was an unexpected call but at the same time something that I welcomed. I just feel sorry that I was not as responsive as I normally am and this is because of this overall feeling of malaise. Oh and before I forget I would like to say thank you to Robyne, my officemate, who sacrificed attending their team building by taking my thursday and friday shift. Thank you because of you I was able to send my husband off to the airport with my children. I owe you one!

What's in a sneeze?

My children especially my 2 sons, and my husband often has the case of the "sniffles" and that is every month since we moved to Cavite. My children's pedia is also baffled, she has cleared my oldest son from primary complex. However she also mentioned that their colds which eventually would lead to cough and fever may be due to an allergic reaction to pollen. As our home is situated in a place that used to be a farm and which is near acres of farm land, my kids were given medicines which they need to maintain to keep them off the allergy. This is of course going to be costly, so i am wondering if there are any home remedies that could cure their allergic reaction. I have in my garden fresh oregano that my children's yaya makes into tea and that has worked so far for ordinary cough. If you have any home remedy suggestions I will appreciate any inputs you can share on this ... :)
