Many years ago, I had a persistent cough and it lasted like a hundred days. Usually, with a mild cough and cold, I just have honey lemon drinks, some herbal tea and Vitamin C and after a week, I would get better. If I have a bad cough, I would add in 1 Tablespoon of Scott's Emulsion (Orange Syrup for me) three times a day, in no time, when I finish one bottle, I would get better. One time, I had two bottles of Scott's Emulsion Orange Syrup and my lung was back to healthy normal.
So it was very rare for me to have a persistent cough that lasted more than 3 weeks. That one time, I had my lung X-rayed, and phlegm test and antibiotic medication and still the cough persisted. Then one night during Cell Group Meeting, I was coughing on and off again for the entire meeting, Alice told me about Fritillaria (川贝), a family of Lilies and she asked me to buy them in powder form and this remedy rescued me from that hundred-days cough. It really worked with that one time of consuming it - Pear cut with a hole with Fritillaria put inside, double boiled for 45 - 60 minutes. My cough went away!
And then my lungs have been strong for many years and totally forgotten about this remedy. Until lately, coughing and flu season started and my family members started to be unwell. Christabel coughed for almost a month, it was on and off. Michael was down with a bad flu and cough for more than a month. It was a persistent cough. I do believe in the beginning of the flu, you just have to let it get out of your system before stopping with medicine or remedy. Some dosage of Vitamin C should work.
I would recommend this remedy of Fritillaria Winter Pear with Rock Sugar Drink (川贝炖雪梨加冰糖).

What is Fritillaria (川贝)?
Fritillaria is from the plant family of Lily.
Family: Liliaceae
Rank: Genus
Double boil until winter pear or China Pear is soft, can be 45 minutes to 120 minutes depends on how hot is the slow cooker. 8 grams of Fritillaria is RM10, children portion is 4 grams but we could boil them in a pot and have a few people share the drinks.
Have this portion few times in a day. I think its hard to drink down 4 bowls at one go so it works well to have it portioned and even share with others. I would double boil it in the evening, have it before sleep and then have it for breakfast.
Verdict about this remedy in 2017 :
Michael still coughed after drinking 3 times, partly because his portion supposed to be 8gram but shared with others, and he did not finish off everything in the bowl so his portion was insufficient. Thinking to double boil the pear with the Fritillaria (川贝) powder inside the little hole and get him to eat up the whole thing, then his portion be correct.
The last time it worked on me was I had the entire pack of powder poured into the hole of the pear and then steam it till soft. It was not very tasty to eat it all but it worked. This method of slicing up the pear and double boil with rock sugar and water makes it very nice to drink but less dosage of Fritillaria (川贝).
