Many of the mothers I know around xiaobian have done massage and health care for their children in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.
Especially when the child is sick with fever, and the situation is particularly serious, and the child is not willing to take medicine, the mother will be advised to take the baby to do a massage, which will be conducive to the recovery of the disease. And many mothers have taught themselves a lot of tuina techniques, and they do tuina for their children at home to maintain their children's health.
So, in our daily life, what are the massage methods that children can do at home after fever?
The health care effect of Tuina for children's fever is mainly to stimulate the activities of various acupuncture points to play a role in the operation of the body's qi and blood, promote the development of the body's metabolic functions, and restore the healthy balance of the body. Therefore, proper tuina can play a role in alleviating and promoting recovery of children's fever, and several common family massage methods are:

The basic frequency can be maintained at about 200 to 300 times per minute, about 100 times on the legs, which can play a role in opening up and awakening the brain.
2. Tuikan Palace (100 times)

This tuina action helps to clear the pyrolysis table and replenish the lungs.

About 100 to 200 times can be used, which can play a role in clearing heat and dispelling fire, and de-heat dissipation.
Of course, tuina is only an auxiliary role, if the condition does not improve after tuina, it is still necessary to go to the hospital in time for targeted medication. Moreover, it is also necessary to do a good job in the daily care of children's fever in order to fundamentally restore health:
1. Replenish water in time
When the child has a fever, the loss of body fluids is much faster than usual, so there will be a dry mouth, and parents should add enough water to the baby in time to avoid lack of water and alleviate the discomfort caused by fever. You can increase the frequency of drinking water, and adding more water is also conducive to the body's metabolic circulation and helps the recovery of the disease.
2, pay attention to the addition of clothes
The exchange of winter and spring is easy to have sudden changes in temperature, and children are also prone to affect the development of the disease in this repeated and changeable season. Therefore, in daily nursing, parents need to pay attention to adding clothes to their children, especially when it is cold at night, they must pay attention to putting on clothes for their children in time to avoid repeated illness caused by negligence.
3. Adjust a light diet
When children have a fever, their appetite will become worse, so mothers can make some relatively light and good food for their babies, such as lean porridge, small noodles, etc., which are easier to digest and ensure nutrition. And you also need to pay attention to avoiding too many snacks for children, especially things that are easy to catch fire such as biscuits and fries, which may affect the child's recovery.
Important note: In the face of the problem of pediatric fever, daily home massage can play a certain role in assisting and alleviating the effect of the disease, opening the Heavenly Gate, Tuikan Palace, clearing the lung meridian and the Tuina action of the Qingtian River Water can help alleviate the discomfort of fever.
