Precautions for children's cough massage

1. Pediatric massage is a health care and treatment method that regulates internal organs, dredges meridians, harmonizes qi and blood, and balances yin and yang to improve the baby's physique and enhance the body's immunity by pressing and massaging acupoints.

2. Because there are some acupoints such as the seven-joint bone, the Tianzhu bone, and the ribs, which can only be sensed by babies under 12 years old, massage is more effective in the rehabilitation treatment of children's colds and coughs.

3. Parents and friends must be sure to recognize the acupoints when doing massage, and pay attention to the strength when massaging.
