What to do if your child sneezes and has a runny nose

The most worrying thing for families with babies is the physical condition of their babies. What kind of problems with the baby's body always give us a headache, and we always feel flustered and don't know what to do. Sneezing and runny nose in children are also common problems. In many cases, our effective care and attention can also avoid the occurrence of these symptoms. Let's learn about what to do when children sneeze and have a runny nose.

If children sneeze and have runny nose, it is recommended that you read the book "Children's Meridians".

Basic method for treating sneezing and runny nose in children: Parents dip a small amount of ginger juice in their palms and use the thenar (base of the thumb) to push and rub the back and waist along both sides of the spine (bladder meridian) until they become red and hot; massage the Fengmen and Feishu points (posterior shoulder blade) on the back for 1 minute respectively; massage both sides of the child's nose for 1 minute each, then massage the Yintang and Zanzhu points (from the middle of the eyebrows to the hairline), then wipe the forehead to the left and right, and massage with the thumb after wiping to the temples. Repeat this several times until your skin turns slightly red. Then press and rub the Quchi and Hegu points for 1 minute each.

It is necessary to distinguish between the two major types of colds: wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds, and treat them accordingly based on the different symptoms.

Characteristics of colds caused by wind and cold and massage treatment techniques: The characteristics are that the child is afraid of cold, has fever, and no sweat, has sore joints in the limbs, has clear runny nose, has a thin and clear cough, and has a pale tongue. In addition to the basic techniques, push the Sanguan point (in a straight line from the base of the thumb to the wrist to the elbow) 500 times, and rub the Wailaogong point (center of the back of the hand) for 1 minute. Use both hands to lift the muscles of the Jianjing acupoint 10 times, use the index and middle fingers to rub the Ershanmen (the webbed edge between the middle finger and ring finger) 50 times, and parents can pinch the webbed edge of that finger with the thumb nail.

Characteristics of wind-heat cold and massage treatment techniques: The characteristics are that the child has a high fever, is slightly afraid of wind or cold, has a sore throat, dry mouth, sweats, runsny yellow nose, coughs with yellow sputum, red tips of the tongue, and a thin yellow coating. Perform the basic technique plus Qingfei Meridian 300 times, pushing in a straight line from the child's ring finger toward the palm. Apply Qingtianhe water (on the midline of the inner side of the child's forearm, in a straight line from the wrist to the elbow) 100 times. Parents use the index and middle fingers to push along that line from the child's wrist to the elbow, press and rub the Dazhui point for 2 minutes, and rub the sacrum and coccyx horizontally with the palm until the heat is transmitted through. Press the Jianjing point 5 times.
