Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could you please tell me what the effect of pediatric Tui Zhi (nipple rubbing) is?Doctor's answer:
The method of "nian ji" (back rubbing) has the effects of harmonizing yin and yang, strengthening the spleen and stomach, unblocking meridians, and promoting the flow of qi and blood. This method is often used to treat pediatric malnutrition and anorexia. It can be applied to healthy children, but the frequency should not be too high. Generally speaking, there are no significant side effects. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
