The children at home are experiencing various discomforts due to severe dampness and heat. Faced with these discomforts, parents want to help their children improve. It has been said that cupping can solve the problem of dampness and heat. Parents originally wanted to take their children to cupping, but were worried that their children were too young to be suitable for it. So, can a child with heavy dampness and heat pull out a fire can?
It is not recommended to treat children with severe dampness and heat by cupping. On the one hand, children's skin is relatively tender, and cupping cannot control the heat well, which can easily burn or scald the child's skin, causing blisters or unsightly scars on the surface of the child's skin. On the other hand, children are unable to lie down peacefully during the cupping process like adults, and cannot cooperate, which can easily affect the efficacy or cause danger due to their movements.
The use of a cupping machine may not necessarily be effective for children with damp heat, as damp heat can be divided into external and internal dampness, and the methods of handling damp heat can vary depending on the child's physical condition and condition. It is suggested that parents should take dietotherapy first when facing the problem of children's heavy dampness and heat, such as red bean barley water, winter melon Congee, winter melon spareribs soup, etc.
Parents should pay attention to their children's daily diet when they are damp and hot. They should try not to give their children sweet or overly greasy foods, and instead give them more vegetables, fruits, and warm, easily digestible foods. Persist in exercising with children every day, so that they can help alleviate damp heat problems through sweating.
