How to massage for a baby with a cold, cough, and runny nose

Patient's question:

The weather has been very hot recently, and the air conditioner has been running in the house. As a result, the baby accidentally caught a cold and has been running a runny nose. How should I massage the baby for a cold, cough, and runny nose?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, parents can gently massage the sides of the child's nose with their fingers, which can promote blood circulation and maintain smooth breathing, thereby helping to reduce nasal discharge caused by colds. In addition, parents can also gently massage the child's sole with their fingers, which can regulate qi and blood and relieve cough. The patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase regular exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
