For everyone, health comes first. Especially when the baby at home gets sick, parents will become anxious and angry. This is because when a baby is sick, they will only keep crying and screaming, and parents have no idea where the baby is feeling, so they can only guess based on some symptoms. So, where is the massage for baby fever?
Firstly, a common illness for babies is fever, which worries many mothers. Once the baby's body temperature is too high, parents will be very worried. Actually, babies have a higher normal body temperature than adults, so don't use an adult's normal body temperature to determine if a baby has a fever. In general, when the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medication or injections are needed to cool down. Parents should not worry too much about other situations.
Secondly, if it is found through temperature measurement that the baby does have a slight fever, massage can be used to alleviate the symptoms. If you can massage an important acupoint called Tianhe acupoint, which is located in the groove between the wrist and elbow, or massage the Qingfei meridian acupoint, which is located on the belly of the ring fingers of both hands; You can also gently push the position between the baby's forehead and hairline with your thumb until it turns red. The acupoint at this position is called Kaitianmen.
Finally, it is important to remind parents that massage therapy is not suitable for babies who are hungry or have just eaten their fill. Additionally, do not massage babies when they are crying loudly. In these cases, massage is ineffective. In addition, parents should not exert too much force during the massage process, as the baby's skin is still very tender and can be injured if not careful.
