The respiratory defense function of children is not as complete as that of adults, so they are very prone to respiratory infections and symptoms such as cough and phlegm. When treating cough symptoms in children, the first step should be to control and treat the inflammation of the respiratory system. So, how to massage cough in children?
The commonly used massage technique for children is palm massage. This massage technique mainly involves lifting the child's palm upwards and gently massaging the horizontal line below the little finger, usually around 300 times, which can help the child relieve cough and release qi.
Most parents know how to help their children gently pat their backs, which is also a type of massage. When a child coughs, they can lightly pat their back. Parents can also massage the soles of their children's feet to relieve coughing. First, rub the soles of the children's feet, rub one foot 20 to 30 times, rub back and forth, and then massage each toe. By consistently massaging 20 to 40 times, the children's cough can be relieved in a timely manner.
There are many ways to massage children, and it is recommended that parents who have not previously learned massage techniques should first learn before helping their children with massage. In addition to massage, parents should also pay more attention to their diet and try to focus on light and nutritious foods. Only by taking multiple measures can children grow up healthy.
