Brief Answer:
Cost is not high

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

In Chinese medicine shaved stem (zhuru) of bamboo has medicinal value. A 500g pack usually costs between 25-30 USD. The usage per month depends upon the consumption but I hope you would be able to figure it out.

You can try steam inhalation for phlegm removal. It works.

Brief Answer:
It depends upon how much your doctor insists you to take.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

I am not a practitioner of Chinese medicine and so cannot really comment upon it. But you should not attempt it without the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner. Probably one or two cups a day would be suggested. But Chinese medicine practitioners emphasize on a holistic approach rather than emphasizing on a single medicine. You need to get the understanding from them.
