The baby is still young, and if they are not careful, they may catch a cold and eventually develop a cold. A cold is often accompanied by coughing. Babies with this condition will have their lives affected, often having difficulty sleeping at night and finding it difficult to recover with medication. At this time, many parents think of using massage to help their babies recover. So how should babies be massaged for coughing and catching a cold?
You can massage some acupoints on the baby's head, such as the Kaitianmen acupoint, about 100 to 200 times. You can also massage the baby's Fengchi acupoint, about thirty to fifty times each time, which is located on the neck and below the roots of the hair. You can also start massaging from the baby's eyebrows towards the temples, about five to ten times, so that the baby will feel much more comfortable and their spirits will be much better.
It can also massage the baby's lung meridian, which extends from the first segment to the last segment of the baby's ring finger. Each massage should not be less than thirty or more than fifty times, otherwise it will be ineffective. If your baby's cough is very severe, you should massage their Hegu acupoint, which is located at the bottom of the thumb and further away. For specific advice, please refer to the acupoint map on Baidu. Clicking on Hegu acupoint can help relieve your baby's cough. Massage is still quite effective in treating cough and cold, but it is important to find the right acupoints and not to do it casually.
