Long term crying or catching a cold can cause hoarseness in the baby's voice. If a baby gets cold, their throat can easily become inflamed. If their throat becomes hoarse for more than a week, parents need to be vigilant as it can easily cause pharyngitis. If you don't want to treat your baby with medication, you can choose simple massage to alleviate their condition. So, how to massage a baby with hoarse throat?
The simplest way is to massage the baby's lung axis and sandalwood, apply some moisturizing oil at the middle of the line connecting the two nipples on the baby's chest, and then gently massage the baby.
You can also gently massage the sides of the baby's throat with your hands, usually for one to three minutes. Alternatively, follow the Lianquan acupoint, which is located at the intersection of the middle of the neck and the upper part of the Adam's apple. Pressing this degree with your fingers can feel the base of your tongue. Press the tip of one thumb onto the child's acupoint, first press and then knead for 1-3 minutes, gradually increasing the pressure. At the same time, instruct the child to perform swallowing movements.
If the baby's condition has not improved, it is recommended to go to the hospital. There are many other treatment methods besides medication nowadays. Nebulization is currently the best method for treating baby throat problems.
In daily life, it is important to encourage babies to develop a habit of drinking water and eating more fruits and vegetables. Developing good lifestyle habits can enhance a baby's physical fitness, making them less likely to get sick. Parents should not regard massage as the best way and be wary of delaying treatment.
