Many people are not clear about this. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have some understanding of this problem.

Massage therapy for children's cough:

Fever in children is a manifestation of the struggle between good and evil in the body, and it is an exercise of the child's resistance. If antipyretics are taken easily, it will not only affect the child's ability to resist evil, but also cover up the condition and easily cause serious damage to the child's yin fluid. Therefore, both Western medicine and Chinese medicine recommend that if the child's body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, there is no need to take antipyretics. Use the "Four Major Methods of Head and Face Massage" in pediatric massage or combine it with some physical cooling methods (warm water bath, cold compress on forehead, etc.) to relieve the symptoms.

Four major methods for head and face: opening the Tianmen, pushing the Kan Palace, rubbing the Taiyang, and rubbing the high bone behind the ear. Open the Tianmen point, which is called pushing the Tianmen point. The Tianmen point is located in a straight line from the middle of the two eyebrows to the front hairline. Pushing it means using both thumbs to push it alternately from bottom to top, 50-100 times; the Kan Gong point is located in a horizontal line from the eyebrow head to the eyebrow tip. The two thumbs push from the center of the eyebrow to the eyebrow tip, which is called pushing the Kan Gong, also known as pushing the eyebrow arch, 50-100 times; the Taiyang point is located in the depression behind the eyebrow. Rub the point with the middle finger tip to rub the Taiyang point, 50-100 times or 3-5 minutes; the high bone behind the ear is located in the depression below the high bone behind the hairline. Rub it with two thumbs or the middle finger tips, 50-100 times or 3-5 minutes.

The combination of these four methods is called the four major methods of head and face, which have the effects of dispelling wind, relieving exterior symptoms, inducing sweat, relieving restlessness and calming the mind. They can also clear away heat, improve eyesight, stop headaches, and prevent convulsions.

After understanding the massage methods for treating children's cough, parents can choose these methods when performing massage treatment for children's cough. However, they should be used on a long-term basis. Short-term use will not help improve the baby's cough. It is best to stop when the baby stops coughing.
