The most worried person when a child has a cold is undoubtedly the parents. Many times, parents feel flustered about their children's cold symptoms and don't know how to help their babies treat and relieve them. Actually, massage can also relieve children's colds, and the operation method is relatively simple. So, where is the massage for children's colds and coughs?
If a child has a cold, parents can massage their child's Quze. Parents need to use the belly of their index or middle finger to gently push down from the child's wrist's Laogong acupoint to the Quze acupoint at the elbow, and repeat about 300 times of massage. This can help the child clear the heat sensation in the body. Alternatively, you can gently massage the child's temples with your thumb, repeating this process about 200 times, and then push from the base of the child's ring finger towards the fingertip area about 100 times.
Adults can also use their index and middle fingers together, and then perform a relatively slow massage technique along the child's wrist in a straight line upwards. This method is called helping the child push the Heavenly River water. If you massage in this way, it can help the child clear the meridians. It needs to be repeated about a hundred times to effectively treat the child's cough symptoms. Alternatively, the thumb of the right hand can be used to push from the joint of the second finger of the child's ring finger to the fingertips of the child's fingers, and the effect is also very good.
In addition to using medication or massage to relieve children's colds and coughs, parents can also focus on regulating their children's diet. Don't always let children eat fast food, and they should also eat less stimulating foods, especially when they have a cold and their throat is easily inflamed. It is necessary to encourage children to drink more water.
