Question
A 1-year-old boy in Langfang, Hebei, has a cold with fever. Which acupoints can be massaged? He doesn’t want to take medicine.
Answer
For viral colds, antibiotics are ineffective. When the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius and blood counts are normal, intravenous treatment is not necessary. Choose antiviral traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, and focus on staying hydrated, resting, and eating a light diet.
