Is it useful to put ginger on the soles of the feet for a baby’s cough?

There is no cure for a baby’s cough by putting ginger on the soles of the feet. Ginger has the effect of sweating to relieve the surface (through sweating to relieve the surface of the evil), warming and stopping vomiting (to warm the spleen and stomach to treat vomiting caused by gastric cold), phlegm cough and other effects, you can treat headache and nasal congestion caused by wind-cold, gastric cold, vomiting, coughing and other symptoms of cold lungs. Note that it should not be taken by patients with Yin deficiency and internal heat and solid heat syndrome. Its adverse effects are not clear. Putting ginger on the soles of the feet and absorbing it through the skin to treat cough, however, the absorption is very limited due to the small area of contact between the drug and the skin, so it is not enough to treat cough. Due to the warm nature of ginger, it is only effective for cough with cold lungs, but not for other types of cough, and even aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is prudent to use ginger to treat cough without analyzing the absorption through the skin. Therefore, it is recommended to seek professional Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe medication for children’s coughs through the identification of symptoms and treatment in order to achieve the desired results.
