Amazing Tiny Tablets

Ok, this should have been posted looooooooooooooooong ago.

Remember how terrible my throat was after the superb meal at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant PLUS the terrible air I had been breathing in and STILL BREATHING IN!!! The 'Teerrrrggggrrrrrrr....' and 'Grrrrgggrrrrrr....' and 'Chiiinnnnggggg.....' and 'Dongggggggrrrrrrr...' have reduced, so its not as dusty as before, but the noise pollution is still there. Ok, I'm hanging in there, another week to go...

Ok, back to my throat. It didn't get well even after I have completed my course of antibiotics. I was really worried. Never had my throat been that bad, since my sinus infection which landed me in the operating theatre when I was 16.

My MIL was disappointed on that Sunday when she knew about my throat. 'Cos she had prepared my favourite dishes, spicy crayfish and chili crab; yet I couldn't even take a bite at them.

So no yummies for me that Sunday, 8th March. Instead, she took this out and commanded, "Pop down 18 tablets."

Very carefully, she poured them out and counted. By the way, though my MIL is already 60+, she has perfect eyesight. Or rather after this demonstration, I must say she has microscopic eyesight! *laugh*

And so I did as I was ordered to or else I'll be missing another round of yummies the following Sunday. Nope, not going to take that kind of risk. *laugh*

She suspected that I might be having ulcers. Allan shone the torchlight in while I said "Aahhhh.." Lo and Behold, did she have X-ray eyes too? I Did! Not one but TWO! I had 2 ulcers on the right side of my throat.

Another decree was made that instant, "Go gurgle with salt water every other hour and Take this home!" Stuffing two bottles of those tiny tablets into my hand. "Down all 20 tablets this time, instead of 18."

And so I took the babies home.
Did it work?
You Bet!
I was well the NEXT MORNING!!!!

Amazing isn't it?
These tablets were from Shanghai. All 3 sons of hers grew up eating this whenever they are sick.

The usual dosage is 10, meaning a bottle, for an adult. For me, 18 + 20 =38! Can you see how heaty I was?! *faint*
