Patient's question:
In November, the child has a cold and coughs with a creaking sound, like clearing the throat. At home, they cough only a few times a day and don't cough while sleeping. When outside, in places like supermarkets and schools, they cough more frequently, and the sound is much louder than at home. Their speech, diet, and mental state are all normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to traditional Chinese medicine, your baby's cough symptoms are believed to be caused by catching a cold due to sensitivity to cold air, leading to a reversal of lung qi. Acupressure can be used as a complementary treatment. Massaging the baby's Tian (CV22) point can help alleviate cough. Massaging the Fengchi (GB20), Feishu (BL13), Hegu (LI4), and other points can prevent and treat cough. Drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and continuously pat your baby's back. Your baby will recover quickly.
