Katinko

It is so nice to be back after a month's stay in the Philippines. I don't call it a vacation because I was out and about in Metro Manila, taking in all the pollution in the area and the hot sunny weather which all caused me to be a little under the weather. I had sore throat, few bouts of headache and dry cough. Up to this day I still have cough but so happy that my sore throat is gone.

Last night, hubby and I were in bed at about 10:30pm but I couldn't sleep because of my cough and sore throat. I was trying to ease it by drinking water but it helped only for a few minutes plus I need to visit the restroom more often. We both couldn't sleep until hubby suggested that I apply Katinko on my throat and chest since we couldn't find Vicks vaporub. I was skeptical because it is a pain and itch ointment but since it has a menthol ingredient I gave in and I am desperate to relive this itchy throat and this cough.

I applied little amount of Katinko on my throat and chest. The menthol is not overpowering and does not leave a hot sensation when applied. Guess what?! I was able to sleep undisturbed! I was able to get the rest that I need. I don't know if it was the one that did the trick but I was sure glad that it helped! It was true to its promise to stop pain and itchiness! Even your itchy throat! hahaha!
