Question
Lately, my child has been suffering from a persistent cough after catching a cold. Even after seeing a doctor and taking medication, the cough hasn’t improved, and everyone at home is very worried. Why does the child’s cough persist? What should we do? Are there any acupuncture techniques to treat a child’s cough?
Answer
If the cough persists, it is still advisable to actively take the child to the hospital to confirm their specific condition, excluding the possibility of pneumonia caused by this cold. Firstly, a chest X-ray is needed to confirm the condition, which will be beneficial. If it is bronchial pneumonia, it is not recommended to undergo acupuncture treatment; rather, active implementation of anti-infection treatment is needed to achieve a better therapeutic effect.
