Bronchitis (Again)

BLAH! I'm not sick i'm just pretending!

Heee when i get well i'm going to EAT EAT EAT!

小朋友, you all must take good care orh!

It's barely a month and the poor wawa is down with bronchitis again. It started with a few harmless sounding dry er-hems which degenerated into deep coughs with phlegm. The doctor pronounced the same diagnosis and even the medication was the same. We put wawa on the nebulizer for 4 days, and continued to administer the cough mixtures. We've been keeping her at home for a week now but she's still not totally well yet.

How to prevent a child from getting cough? The doctor told us "there is no way". Sob. The truth is the flu and cough bug is easily contagious. The only way is for the child to build up her own immunity. That explains it as she's been sick 3 times since we sent her to childcare 2 months ago. Friends told me the "adaptation period" could go up to 6 months!? Let me know if you have any proven remedies!
