Patient's question:
The baby sweats a lot when moving around, more than a normal child, and often has fever and cough. Except for the fever, it usually gets fever again within a few days after the fever subsides.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: For cough, taking medicine didn't help, so they were given intravenous fluids.
What kind of assistance is needed: Help me guess what might be going on.
Doctor's answer:
You can take your child to the acupuncture department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and ask the doctor to perform pediatric Tui Na. This can boost the immune system, and you can also learn how to do it yourself for your child. As long as you do it for five minutes in the morning and evening each day, after a period of time, you will notice that your child gets sick less often.There is a simpler method derived from pediatric Tui Na: Use your index, middle, and ring fingers to do it. Start from the coccyx, place your middle finger on the spine, and keep the other two fingers close to the skin alongside the spine. Move the three fingers together along the spine upward, repeating many times for a duration of five minutes. Do this in the morning and evening. This method is also quite effective.
