"My child has been coughing since the fever subsided, is there any other way to relieve it?"

Sun Bo, the director of the massage department of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced several pediatric massage methods, which have a good effect on relieving cough.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs are delicate and fur. If the evil of wind cold or wind heat invades, it will naturally lead to the loss of lung purification; or the external attack of dryness and evil, hurting the jin and burning the lungs, resulting in the reversal of lung qi can cause coughing; At the same time, if the body is weak, or the initial recovery from a serious illness, the long-term illness does not heal, the lung yin is consumed, or the diet is not modest, the spleen and stomach are damaged, phlegm and dampness are endogenous, and the airway is suppressed, which can also cause coughing.

Now that there are more children with cough and sputum and low-grade fever, doctors suggest that parents reduce the frequency of taking their children out in public in the near future, wear masks frequently, wash hands and nose frequently, and reduce the chance of contact with germs.

Improving children's immunity is also the top priority, children as a "childish yin and immature yang" body, once occasionally sick, evil qi is easy to real, righteous qi is easy to be deficient, the disease progresses rapidly, and the mistaken "little cold" can be instantly converted into pneumonia. Therefore, it is very important to enhance children's righteousness and enhance their ability to resist external evils.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, children's physique is often "spleen deficiency", soil does not give birth to gold, mother disease and child, so lung qi is prone to deficiency and leads to respiratory system-related diseases. Sufficient lung qi benefits from the subtle nourishment of the acquired spleen and stomach water valley, and the spleen and stomach are healthy, and the lungs are self-solidified, so the spleen and lungs must be treated at the same time for the treatment of children's cough.

Director Sun said that through pediatric massage combined with acupoint application and ear acupoint sticking, a multi-pronged approach was used to treat cough. Acupuncture points that can be used to relieve your child's symptoms are as follows:

Zusanli: Open a horizontal finger three inches below the front spine of the tibia under the outer knee. Pushing and kneading for three miles can regulate the spleen and stomach and enhance the ability to resist disease.

Large vertebral acupoints: In the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, pushing and rubbing the large vertebral acupoints can invigorate the body's yang qi to resist external evils, dredge the meridians, promote qi and blood, clear heat and detoxify, and prevent colds, coughs, headaches, strokes and other diseases.

Lung Yu acupoint: under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra, 1.5 inches next to the posterior midline. It is the exclusive health care point of the human lungs, which has the functions of regulating qi, relieving asthma, and promoting the lungs, and can widely prevent and treat various diseases caused by lung dysfunction.

Yingxiang acupoint: open next to the midpoint of the outer edge of the alar of the nose, as the nasolabial fold. Kneading Yingxiang has the effect of activating the meridians and clearing the nose.

Celestial protrusion point: in the center of the suprasternal fossa, on the anterior midline. Rubbing the sky has the effect of widening the chest and regulating qi, clearing heat and dissolving phlegm.

Director Sun reminded that once the child's symptoms are severe, parents should seek medical attention in time. If you want to get a better effect through pediatric massage, you must choose a regular pediatric massage doctor for dialectical treatment.
