How to massage a child’s cough

Children with cough can be treated with pediatric tui na, which has a good effect on mild cough. And when massaging the tui na points, it can effectively relieve the symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath. After the massage, the child can sleep better at night, which can promote the recovery of cough. First of all, you can give your child a chiropractic massage by using the index fingers of both hands on the skin on both sides of the spine, pressing the thumbs on the skin next to them, and holding the fingers of both hands simultaneously, moving forward while pinching, for 5-10 times. You can also massage your child’s lung acupuncture points by placing the fingers of both hands on the child’s lung acupuncture points, pressing and rubbing them for 3-5 minutes, then rubbing the acupuncture points horizontally, and stopping when the heat is clear. Massaging the lung acupuncture points can effectively stop coughing and dissolve phlegm, which is a good adjunct treatment for coughs caused by bronchitis and pneumonia.
