Question

How to relieve baby nasal congestion?

Answer

Tonsillitis in babies can be treated with nasal decongestant granules and combined with massage techniques. Here are the specific methods: (1) Have the baby sit or lie on their stomach. The parent should use their thumb and index finger to press on the upper end of the nasolabial groove for 1 to 3 minutes. (2) Gently press on the baby’s Hegu point for 1 minute. (3) Use the thumb pad to rub along both sides of the bridge of the nose from top to bottom until a local warmth sensation is felt. (4) Knead the baby’s Hegu point for 1 to 3 minutes. (5) While supporting the baby’s forehead with one hand, the parent should use the other hand’s thumb and index finger to knead both sides of the Fengchi point for 1 to 3 minutes. (6) The baby should lie on their back. The parent should use one palm to horizontally rub the baby’s back until it feels warm.
