Is pediatric massage effective in treating colds?

Many families do not want to give their children medicine after seeing them have a cold. After all, children are still young, and any medicine is toxic to a certain extent, which is very detrimental to the development of children. Therefore, they will think of using traditional Chinese medicine to relieve and treat the cold. For example, massage is more common and has received much attention and recognition from people. So is pediatric massage effective in treating colds?

Pediatric massage is a clinical discipline that applies traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical knowledge to study the use of techniques to act on acupuncture points on the surface of children's bodies to prevent and treat common pediatric diseases. It is an important part of traditional Chinese massage. It is a specialized discipline of non-drug treatment that has gradually formed and developed over a long historical period with the development of traditional Chinese medicine as a whole. With the development of society, people have come to realize the superiority of natural medical methods that can heal without medication. Pediatric massage has attracted more attention from the world and continues to play an important role in child care and disease prevention today.

Pediatric massage therapy is simple to operate and has good therapeutic effect. For certain academic diseases, massage can often improve or cure the child's condition in a short period of time. In the past, it was believed that newborns should not be pushed within one month, and people with measles or chickenpox should not be pushed. In recent years, it has been clinically proven that it is effective for neonatal pulmonary obstruction and cough, intracranial hemorrhage, neonatal scleroderma, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, dysentery, sequelae of polio, aphasia, and craniotomy. Rectal prolapse, etc., can all achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects.

The early sign of a common cold is runny nose. When I see my baby having a runny nose, I first massage the Wasp Entering Hole and then the Yiwofeng acupoints. The main functions of wasps entering the hole are: to induce sweating, relieve exterior symptoms, open up the lungs and allow the nose to breathe. The main effects of Yiwofeng are: warming the middle and promoting qi circulation, relieving pain and dispersing cold, and calming the mind.

You can massage several times a day until your baby no longer has a runny nose. Sometimes if it is discovered late, it will take a long time. If you have a cough, add liver-calming and lung-clearing medicine. If you have a fever, add Tianhe water. When the baby is sick, parents must stay in a good mood, because this will also be transmitted to the baby. It will subconsciously tell the baby that it is no big deal, and the baby himself will also be able to relax. As long as the baby is in good spirits, there is no need to take medicine

I believe everyone is clear about whether pediatric massage is effective in treating colds. Colds are a common phenomenon. Family members should not worry first, but they must also adjust and treat their children as soon as possible. If the cold is not relieved for a long time, it will also pose a threat to the child’s health. I hope family members can pay attention to it.
