Question
Can cupping therapy for children stop coughs?
Answer
Cupping therapy for children cannot stop coughs. To treat coughs, it is important to first undergo medical examinations such as chest X-rays, CT scans, bronchoscope bronchial challenge tests, and then take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, antibiotics, corticosteroids, cough suppressants, and expectorants based on the results. Additionally, children should avoid eating spicy and cold drinks, as well as other irritating foods, and should increase physical activity to strengthen their constitution.
