Question
Hello, my baby suddenly developed a fever at night. How can I use acupressure to reduce the fever?
Answer
Treatment generally involves techniques such as massaging the Neiguan point, clearing the Waterway of Heaven, massaging the Stomach 36 point, and pushing the Yongquan point. These methods can regulate internal organ functions, guide heat downward, clear awayheat up, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the root cause of the disease and also having a preventive effect. Clinically, children with fever are mainly due to external factors, so if the fever is not high, you can try the aforementioned acupressure techniques. This is not only convenient but also can avoid the side effects of medication. For such children, the onset is acute and the effect of acupressure treatment is better. It is best to be cautious with medication for reducing fever in children, as they have weaker constitutions and may have allergic reactions to medications. Acupressure methods are not only beneficial for the child’s recovery but also helpful for their body.
