Children have weak resistance, and colds and fevers are common diseases. Parents must pay attention to children's fever, and it is important to reduce the fever in time. In addition to taking medicine, parents can also use massage to physically cool down their children for fever, which is also very effective. So what are the massage methods for babies with fever? This is what parents want to know, and I will give you a brief introduction below.

What is the massage method for babies with fever? To understand the method, first understand some of the reasons why babies have fever:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that because children’s internal organs are delicate and their physical energy is not fully developed, they are easily invaded by external pathogens and can easily turn into heat. In the event of sudden climate changes, abnormal temperature and hot summer, children's ability to self-regulate temperature is weak and they are easily invaded by external pathogens. The struggle between evil and good and the disharmony between the Ying and Wei causes fever. There are many causes of fever in children, which can be roughly divided into the following three categories:

1. External factors

Children's body temperature is affected by the external environment, such as wearing too many clothes when it is hot, drinking too little water, and poor ventilation in the room.

2. Internal factors

Cold, tracheitis, sore throat or other infectious diseases.

3. Other factors

Such as vaccinations, including reactions after vaccination against measles, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, etc.

Pediatric massage techniques should be light, fast, gentle, safe and effective!

Rub Zhongwan: Use the fingertips or the base of the palm to gently massage the midpoint between the child's navel and xiphoid process 100 to 300 times.

Rubbing the navel: Use the base of your palm to gently rub the navel of the child in a clockwise direction 100 to 300 times.

Push the yin and yang of the abdomen separately: Use the thumbs of both hands to push to both sides along the edge of the costal arch angle 100 to 200 times.

Rub Tianshu: Use your fingertips to press and rub about 2 inches beside the child's navel 50 to 100 times (this can be done on both sides at the same time).

Pinching the spine: Use the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to pinch and lift the child's spine from bottom to top, 3 to 5 times in a row.

The above is an introduction to the massage methods for babies with fever. Now friends know it! We know that children's skin is relatively tender, so when massaging, we must control our strength. If the baby's fever does not subside after doing all these, you should seek medical attention in time and seek help from a doctor. This is the best way.
