what the cough taught me

this crazy cough...though not even infectious, not the kind with green phlegm, has taught me tons and tons.

Like for instance...i did research on it onlilne on 3 medical websites. its dry cough but non infectious kind and probably due to external dust, fumes, bad air or cold air or dry air. or particles like sugar cane pulp, popcorn kernel that got trapped in respiratory system.... only on people with some kind of asthmatic background. i have sinus background.

other than diagnosing myself, i have also been seeking cures for it. i tried lotsa sleep. didnt help. i tried lotsa warm water. only medium temperature water helps, not hot not cold. lukewarm. sweet drinks like honey lemon, lemon tea helped. Ginger dessets and ginger helped.

the best thing was serious confident prayer over it. since yesterday night when i did that it has reduced in quantity (no. of coughs now has dropped to one-offs and as opposed to a horrendous chain of it) and the MAGNITUDE or intensity of it has reduced to mild. how nice. now its more of a relaxed pace as well. lol.

So Miss/Mister (what gender was it anyway?) Cough has become a friend because it taught me to trust Him (God) more. And always, Prayer is far more effective than earthly remedies.
