Whether cupping can be done for cold and fever depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, cupping can be done, but it is not suitable if the patient has poor mental state and broken skin at the cupping place. 1. Cupping is allowed: If the patient has a good mental state and the skin at the cupping place is not broken, you can choose Da Shi, Feng Men and other acupoints for cupping treatment, and sometimes you can also carry out blood cupping treatment to enhance the effect of heat dissipation. 2. No cupping: If the fever is caused by cold and the patient’s mental state is poor, cupping is not allowed. In addition, if the skin at the place of cupping is broken, cupping is also not allowed. In addition, when there are symptoms of cold and fever, patients should not rely on cupping as a treatment method to reduce fever. There are many other ways to reduce fever, such as the application of antipyretic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture, etc., all of which can alleviate the symptoms of fever. Cupping should be performed by a medical professional. If the patient has a cold or fever, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time to avoid delays.
