Question
My daughter has been a bit coughing lately and isn’t feeling too comfortable. I’ve heard that acupuncture can help alleviate the symptoms. Could you tell me where I can find the best acupuncture for a child’s cough?
Answer
A child’s cough may be caused by an upper respiratory infection or mild bronchitis, often related to catching a cold. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations. For treatment, pediatric acupuncture can be performed, such as reinforcing the Lung Meridian or manipulating the Ba Gua, and it is suggested to seek treatment at a specialized department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. At the same time, you can also administer some traditional Chinese medicine preparations like Qing Fei Ling (Clear Lung Pill), but the specific medication should be taken according to medical advice.
