Babies are particularly prone to pharyngitis, which can cause symptoms such as sore throat, swollen throat, and inflammation of flat lines. If parents notice that their child's throat is red, they should take timely measures and use traditional Chinese massage to alleviate the symptoms. So, how to massage a baby with a red throat?
Babies often experience symptoms of throat redness. At this time, using massage techniques for treatment is very effective, and because there is no need for injections or medication, it is more easily accepted by children. When a baby has a red throat, they can knead both sides of their throat repeatedly from top to bottom for 1-3 minutes.
When a baby has a swollen throat, parents should not give the child medication indiscriminately to avoid some side effects. You can massage the Ren Ying acupoint, which is located 1.5 inches next to the anterior cervical Adam's apple and is the pulsation point of the common carotid artery. Parents can use their thumb and middle finger to massage their child's vagina for 1 minute.
Parents who notice that their children have a red throat can also apply pressure to the Motian Tui acupoint, which is located at the midpoint of the two collarbones and in the center of the sternum. Parents need to use their middle finger to massage the Tian Tu acupoint for 1 minute. In addition, massaging the Lianquan acupoint can also alleviate the condition of throat redness. The Lianquan acupoint is located at the intersection of the middle of the neck and directly above the Adam's apple. Parents can use their thumbs to massage their child's Lianquan acupoint, which requires continuous kneading for 3 minutes.
