Spring Allergy Season: How My Child Overcame Stuffy Nose & Green Mucus in Korea

-

 Spring in Korea means warm weather, blooming flowers… and lots of pollen. 🌸

While I love seeing cherry blossoms, this season can be rough for sensitive little ones.

My 6-year-old recently had a hard time with nasal congestion and green mucus.
Here’s a little story about how we managed the situation — just sharing my personal mom experience!

It Started With a Stuffy Nose & Green Mucus

At first, I thought it was just a common cold.
But after a few days, the symptoms got worse:

  • Heavy nasal congestion, especially at night

  • Loud snoring during sleep

  • Thick green mucus

Our little one couldn’t sleep well and got very cranky. That’s when I decided to visit our local clinic.

Clinic Visit & Prescription

We went to a nearby pediatric clinic.
After checking my child, the doctor said the nasal passages were very swollen and blocked, and the green mucus indicated a bacterial infection — so an antibiotic prescription was needed.

We got:

  • Powdered medicine

  • Antibiotic

When we picked up the medicine at the pharmacy, they also gave us an adorable duck-shaped medicine bottle. My toddler loved it! 🐥





👉 Powdered medicine + Duck-shaped bottle

This helped a lot in making medicine time a bit easier.

Recovery Progress

Of course, the mucus didn’t stop immediately after starting the meds.
It took about two weeks of consistent medication and care before the green mucus finally cleared up.

During that time, we focused on:

  • Keeping the room well-ventilated

  • Using a clean humidifier

  • Washing bedding frequently

Now my little one can breathe comfortably again and sleep peacefully through the night. 🌙

Mom’s Tips ✏️

Here’s what I learned from this experience:

  • If your child has persistent congestion and colored mucus, don’t wait — visit a clinic early.

  • Home care is just as important: clean air, humidity control, and keeping everything hygienic really help.

Final Thoughts

Spring allergy season can be tough on kids, but with timely treatment and proper home care, things can get better.
I hope sharing our experience helps other parents going through the same situation.

Sending healthy spring vibes to all little ones out there! 🌷💕

“I Found Squid Game Yakgwa at Daiso 🇰🇷🍬”

I stopped by Daiso today and picked up something I definitely wasn’t planning on: a Squid Game-themed dalgona yakgwa. For anyone unfamiliar, Daiso is a super popular discount store chain in Korea — kind of like a mix between Dollar Tree and a tiny Target. It’s where you go when you need batteries, dish sponges, cute pens, snacks, skincare… literally anything. Koreans love it for the affordable prices, and honestly, I always find something I didn’t know I needed. Today, that unexpected item was a pack of honey cookies styled after Squid Game. Yep. 🍯 What even is dalgona yakgwa? So first, some context. Yakgwa is a traditional Korean sweet made with honey, flour, and sesame oil. It’s usually sticky, rich, and super nostalgic — something your grandma might serve during holidays. This one’s different though. It’s a mini version, dalgona-flavored (like that burnt sugar candy from Squid Game), and individually wrapped with cartoon versions of the show’s creepy doll and pink guards. It’s hila...

  Hey there 👋 You know those shows you start watching and suddenly it’s 2 AM? Yeah… that was Hotel Del Luna for me. I wasn’t expecting to love it this much, but here I am — writing a whole review about it. So, let me tell you why this drama is 100% worth your time. The Story (No Big Spoilers!) Imagine a fancy hotel in Seoul. Now imagine it’s run by a grumpy (but stylish!) woman who’s been stuck there for a thousand years... and the guests? They’re all ghosts. That’s the quirky world of Hotel Del Luna . IU plays Jang Man-wol , the forever-chic hotel owner with a tragic past. Goo Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-goo) is the poor human manager who somehow ends up working there. Their story? Funny, heartbreaking, magical — all at once.
