Acupuncture can treat cold and fever. Acupuncture for cold and flu generally uses acupuncture points such as Dazhi, Fengchi, Waiguan and Hegu, and adds or subtracts points according to the identification and symptoms of Chinese medicine. If the cold is accompanied by nasal congestion, Yingxiang acupoint can be added. If the cold is accompanied by cough and headache, Sun acupoint, Lijiao acupoint and Lung Yu can be used. After ruling out fever caused by other diseases, blood is released at the dazhi or ear tip. If the temperature does not drop significantly through the above treatment, a combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine may be recommended depending on the severity of symptoms. Cupping or walking cupping can be an effective option for the initial treatment of colds.
