Monster

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
One for the MONSTER, one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.



My little adik has been very disturbed by monster stories these past few weeks.He got scared of  them. It perplex me on how he manage to imagine monster in every little thing he does. I have screen his cartoon shows and have never use the word monster to scares him in any way yet there he is telling stories about monster to us and of course he even sing the baa baa black sheep with the monster version.My husband and i decided if this continue, then we will try the ruqyah on him. InshaAllah khair.


This saturday is a big day for me. It will be my first day job as driver for my children to school. inshaAllah after sending them to school, i have to rush to my new school. Yes i have registered myself for arabic class in Polyglot institute here in Oman. One of my wish in Hajj is to be able to communicate in arabic. Alhamdulillah for all. The school is about 40km away from my place so things gonna be tough as i will be joining the morning crowd on the road and in the afternoon too. I  pray nothing ever happen that will disturb my routine for class and dispatching my children at school and other extra task. I want all of my task here to run smoothly. Ya Rabb grant me my doa.

holidays, new job

Assalamualaikum wbt

Been very long time i didn't write. Life been upside down and busy as usual but Alhamdulillah. School mid-year holidays started last Thursday and hubby to is taking his end of year holidays about the same days as the school holidays. The house is pack with 3 men in mylife who constantly asking for food, time and attention all at the same time. This is my first time ever having them 24/7 for about 2 weeks...pheww  May Allah make it easy for me and that hopefully everybody will be happy during this holidays although no holiday plan has been made yet. Perhaps just strolling around the city area.

For the boys it will be park and beach and ???? no idea but hopefully they will be happy enough and hopefully the weather will permits too as its been very cold lately here in Muscat..temp drops to 15deg at night up till early morning but gets very nice warm and windy in the afternoon. But then maghrib is at 5.30pm so the door for outing is really short. We shall see, inshaAllah khair.

Perhaps something worth mentioning here for my own pleasure and which is good for my ego is that i manage to bake a cake which is very light and fluffy!. Although its a ready mix moist chocolate cake recipe, but i made my own changes here and there and Alhamdulillah it turn out perfect cake in term of taste but not the shape and deco. 1/4 has already been eaten by the boys and hubby, and the rest of the 3/4 is there in the fridge waiting to be decorated. InshaAllah i will do the ganache tomorrow if it still worth to be presented with ganache :) or if the ingredients for the ganache are there in the baking cabinet. Today  I was just too tired to do the ganache after the sand time at the beach with the boys.

New job?....he he he.. I will have few extra job after this holiday season. I' ll be the driver for my children to school every  morning and afternoon.A job that i have been looking forward since i was there in Malaysia. Many of my friends are also drivers to their children and sometimes I pity them when they have to rush to send and pick their children at school. Now inshaAllah its my turn, may Allah make it easy and keep all of us safe always during the journey.What i do hope to happen during this time is that i will then be able to make the boys listen to the quran recitation esp the juzu amma thus strengthening their memorization. If before, their journey back and forth in the bus is spend sleeping or playing, i d hope now it will be a more meaningful time for quran memorization and listening for all of us. I'm gonna look into this matter indeed.Pray me success.

eye closing, inshaAllah till next time

medication..

Salam semua..

Dah lama ibu nak tulis pasal medication becos of the so many ubat yang ada kat almaritu..n of course becos adik n abang is always sick too...n from my observation ..penyakitnya lebih kurang sama i.e cold n flu n cough..but ubat yg di prescribe mmm..boleh bukak pharmacy...so now i will try to list down jenama ubat n also its foundation usage i.e symptom2 sakit tu..

on antihistamine...ada active ingredients cetrizine, chlorophenaramine, loratadine....so

from wiki : Loratadine is a second-generation antihistamine drug used to treat allergiesIn a version named Claritin-D, the substance is combined with pseudoephedrine, a decongestant; this makes it useful for colds as well as allergies, but adds potential side-effects of insomnia, nervousness, and anxiety.Loratadine is indicated for the symptomatic relief of allergy such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis), urticaria (hives), and other skin allergies.[4] For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), loratadine is effective for both nasal and eye symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, itchy or burning eyes.


Salbutamol (INN) or albuterol (USAN) is a short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonistused for the relief of bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Salbutamol sulfate is usually given by the inhaled route for direct effect on bronchial smooth muscle. This is usually achieved through a metered dose inhaler (MDI), nebulizer or other proprietary delivery devices (e.g. Rotahaler or Autohaler). In these forms of delivery, the maximal effect of salbutamol can take place within five to twenty minutes of dosing, though some relief is immediately seen. It can also be given orally as an inhalant orintravenously.(batuk kahak)


Chlorphenamine (INN) or chlorpheniramine (USAN, former BAN), commonly marketed in the form of chlorphenamine maleate (Histop, Chlor-Trimeton, Piriton, Chlor-Tripolon, HISTA-12), is a first-generation alkylamine antihistamine used in the prevention of thesymptoms of allergic conditions such as rhinitis and urticaria. Its sedative effects are relatively weak compared to other first-generation antihistamines. Chlorphenamine is one of the most commonly used antihistamines in small-animal veterinary practice as well. Although not generally approved as an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication, chlorphenamine appears to have these properties as well[1] (see below).The antihistamine is helpful in cases where allergy or common cold is the reason for the cough; it is also a potentiator of opioids, allowing enhanced suppression of cough, analgesia, and other effects from a given quantity of the drug by itself. In various places in the world, cough & cold preparations containing codeine and chlorphenamine are available.


An expectorant is any agent which dissolves thick mucus and is usually used to help relieve respiratory difficulties. It does so by hydrolyzing glycosaminoglycans, tending to break down/lower the viscosity of mucin-containing body secretions/components. The viscosity of mucous secretions in the lungs is dependent upon the concentrations of mucoprotein. Although it has similarities with a mucolytic agent, the two are totally different types of medicine.
An expectorant (from the Latin expectorare, to expel from the chest) helps bring up mucus and other material from the lungs, bronchi, and trachea. An example of an expectorant is guaifenesin which promotes drainage of mucus from the lungs by thinning the mucus and lubricating the irritated respiratory tract. Sometimes the term "expectorant" is incorrectly extended to any cough medicine.[1]
An expectorant increases bronchial secretions and mucolytics help loosen thick bronchial secretions. Expectorants reduce the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions thus increasing mucus flow that can be removed more easily through coughing, Mucolytics break down the chemical structure of mucus molecules. The mucus becomes thinner and can be removed more easily through coughing
—Adams, Holland, & Bostwick, 2008, p. 591

[edit]
decongestant or nasal decongestant is a type of drug that is used to relieve nasal congestion.Besides hypertension, common side-effects include sleeplessness, anxiety, dizziness, excitability, and nervousness.
Decongestants are normally paired with antihistamines to lessen this effect, but the combination of both classes of drugs does not necessarily cancel the side-effects of each other.[citation needed]
Topical decongestants are decongestants applied directly to the nasal cavity. By applying them directly to the site of action, topical decongestants relieve nasal congestion while reducing the side effects associated with systemically-acting decongestants, such ashigh blood pressure. Topical decongestants should only be used by patients for a maximum of 3 days in a row, because rebound congestion may occur in the form of rhinitis medicamentosa. Topical decongestants are a common form of nasal relief, due to their quick effects which can clear the sinus in as little as ten seconds.

amydramine - Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (pronounced /ˌdaɪfɛnˈhaɪdrəmiːn/, abbreviated DPH orDHM) is a first-generation antihistamine mainly used to treat allergies. Like most other first-generation antihistamines, the drug also has a powerful hypnotic effect, and for this reason is often used as a nonprescription sleep aid and a mild anxiolytic.iphenhydramine is a first-generation antihistamine drug. Despite being one of the oldest antihistamines on the market, it is more effective than even some of the latest prescription drugs.[7] Consequently, it is frequently used when an allergic reaction requires fast, effective reversal of the often dangerous effects of a massive histamine release.

Guaifenesin (pronounced /ɡwaɪˈfɛnɨsɪn/) (INN) or guaiphenesin (former BAN), alsoglyceryl guaiacolate,[1] is an expectorant drug sold over the counter and usually taken by mouth to assist the bringing up (expectoration) of phlegm from the airwaysin acute respiratory tract infections.

Treatment of coughing

Cochrane Collaboration meta-analysis of over the counter medicines for acute cough in children and adults found no evidence for the effectiveness of any examined drug other than guaifenesin; evidence for guaifenesin was ambiguous.[5] Guaifenesin is sometimes combined with dextromethorphan, an antitussive. In normal use this combination is believed[by whom?] to produce fewer, but more productive coughs.

[edit]
Treatment of asthma

Guaifenesin is effective in the treatment of the thickened bronchial mucosa characteristic of asthma.[citation needed] It works by drawing water into the bronchi. The water both thins mucus and lubricates the airway, facilitating the removal of mucus by coughing.
so in conclusion

normal running nose= anti histamin chlorophenaramine or claritine loratadine
normal mucosy nose = anti histamin  amydramine  or loratadine decongestion + ventolin 
batuk n thick musocy nose = soolan
