Question
Can acupuncture help children? The child is five months old and suffering from asthma.
Answer
Hello, acupuncture should be based on the specific symptoms. Asthma requires a focus on prevention, emphasizing staying hydrated and strengthening the body’s constitution. There are many triggers for childhood asthma. If a child is diagnosed with it, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastroesophageal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
