Treatment of cough with massage in children

Many children have experienced coughing symptoms. Of course, the causes of coughing are also different. In many cases, it is due to a cold. What is the effective treatment for a cough? Here we will introduce pediatric massage for cough.

Treatment:

(1) If a child suddenly develops a severe cough and has difficulty breathing, there may be something blocking the trachea. Objects that are easily swallowed include peanuts, pencil cases, pills, buttons, coins, candies, etc. If it can be discovered immediately and emergency measures can be taken to remove it, it will be fine. However, if the foreign object is not discovered and is stuck in the airway, it will be very dangerous.

(2) If you have a high fever, cough, wheezing and difficulty breathing, you need to go to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.

(3) Children are very susceptible to bronchiolitis, a type of pneumonia. At this time, the child's face looks bad and often turns purple. They may also have faster breathing, raise their shoulders when breathing, and the lower chest wall collapses when inhaling. In this case, they should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

Parents can observe first and do not rush to send the child to the hospital for coughing

(1) Although there is cough and fever, the patient is in good spirits. Most of the time, it is a cold or tonsillitis.

(2) You continue to cough after having a cold or fever.

(3) Cough and excessive sputum, but no fever and good spirits.

(4) Cough that only occurs in the early morning.

(5) Slight coughing when nervous or after exercise. Parents do not need to worry too much about the above 5 types of coughs. They can first relieve the symptoms and treat the cough through diet therapy. Because coughs can be divided into external coughs and internal heat coughs, and external coughs can be divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs, different types of coughs require completely different medications and diet therapy methods. 3. Observing the tongue coating is a good way to identify cough. (1) If the tongue coating is white, it means the child has a severe cold. The phlegm from coughing is also white and sticky, and is accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose. At this time, you should eat some warm, expectorant and cough-relieving foods. (2) If the child's tongue coating is yellow or red, it means that the child has a lot of internal heat, the phlegm is thick and yellow, and it is not easy to cough up, and there is a sore throat. At this time, the child should eat some foods that clear the lungs, reduce phlegm and relieve cough. In addition, since internal heat coughs are mostly long-term and recurring, parents should pay attention to giving their children more foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidneys, and replenish the lung qi.

Diet therapy for cold and cough

(1) Boil ginger, brown sugar and garlic in water to treat cough associated with colds. When children catch a cold, drinking warm ginger and brown sugar water can play a good therapeutic role. If the child also has a cough, you can add 2 to 3 cloves of garlic to the ginger and brown sugar water and cook them together. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes to cook away the spiciness of the garlic. Only then will the child be willing to drink it.

(2) Steamed garlic and rock sugar water enter the spleen, stomach and lung meridians, and treat cold cough and kidney deficiency cough.
