Chinese medicine

For almost 2 weeks now, I have been suffering from gradual health breakdown. Feeling week because it started from colds then almost every night I feel feverish. After the colds, it went to dry cough and every sleeping time at night is a cough attack. I am worried because my daughter who sleeps beside me has been struck with cough and colds too. Good thing now my daughter has stopped coughing and no more flu too. But me, I'm still stuck with my dry cough. My office mate introduced me to a lozenge. It's a Chinese medicine that relives throat itchiness and it's also mentholated that it feels good when taken. It's available in SM Davao in a small stall named Century. Everything they sell are mostly Chinese medicines. But they also sell slim toning supplements.

The name by the way of the lozenge which I bought from the store is The Golden Throat lozenge. It contains 4 packs with 5 pieces candies in it. It's pretty cool 'cause it not only relieves sore throat it also takes bad breath away. I'm having it handy in case my throat starts to itch again. But unfortunately, I still have my dry cough which I don't know why it's still there. I am prescribed by my doctor with a mucolytic syrup but there's no major improvement yet. But my mom told me to take in ginger. I don't know how to do it or how it works. Now, do you? I hope I will get better in a few days time.
