Patient's question:
Baby is 10 weeks old, recently feeling not well, seems like she has fallen ill. Please ask; can pediatric massage therapy treat children's cough?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of a child's cough is infection. If the cough is frequent or lasts less than three days, a urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. Based on the test results, medication can be prescribed accordingly. Have the doctor listen to the lungs with a stethoscope or take a chest X-ray to check for bronchitis or even pneumonia. Acupuncture treatment for a child's cough is only supplementary, and there are not many hospitals with formal qualifications for pediatric acupuncture outside now. Do not have any psychological pressure and maintain a cheerful mood. During this period, pay attention to getting more rest, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
