Question
Which acupoints should be massaged for a child’s fever?
Answer
If a child has a fever with a hot head and cool limbs, the fever is inside the body. Pay attention not to exceed 38.5 degrees. If it does, use antipyretic medication and consult a doctor to find out the cause of the fever and use medication accordingly. This may be due to blocked meridians, and it is recommended to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, who can help bring down the fever quickly. There are many factors that can cause pediatric respiratory problems. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory issues, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Children need a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
