I have been coughing for 2 weeks now. Now I live w/ a family whose only biological turnng 5yr old daughter always have some kind of colds. I don t often come home as my job entails me to stayin. But surprises me after getting cured, next thing I knew is that she already have this thing like chronic kind of thing. But of course I also know that their lifestyle to live doesn t really paid much close attention to the girls stead but rather more to their own social satisfaction and keeping. In the course of years, I tried to be extra careful not because of the nature of my work. Until recently, after being absent for a year, joining w/ them overwhelmed me. Forgetting to protect myself, the mother declaring that the daughters case is allergic in nature, I gave in w/ cross spoon feeding during meals w/ the kids utensil. I noticed though that was the start of a cough that blown to a couple of weeks. My question is, if the girl suffer from respiratory allergy of some nature, is it possible that she could also have some bacteria/ virus in her system? My coughing by now is a lot lot better than before. I believe I am on my way to recovery w/ the help of natural means of handling it. Thank you and good health to all.
