How to use Tuina massage for a child with a fever

Patient's question:

Hello, the baby suddenly had a fever at night,,, I'm very worried about the child. Could you please ask the doctor how to reduce the fever through massage?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment generally involves massage techniques such as rubbing Neiguan (Inner Labor Palace), clearing Tianhe River, massaging Zusanli, and pushing Yongquan. These methods can regulate the functions of the internal organs, guide heat downward, clear away excess heat, and ultimately achieve the goal of treating the root cause of the illness, as well as providing preventive effects. Clinically, most cases of fever in children are due to external pathogens. Therefore, if a child has a low-grade fever, they can try the following massage techniques. This approach is not only convenient but also helps avoid the side effects of medications. Children with such conditions often have acute onset, and massage therapy tends to be particularly effective for them.
When a child has a fever, it is advisable to use medication cautiously for fever reduction. Children have weaker constitutions and may have allergic reactions to medications. However, this massage method is not only beneficial for their recovery but also supports their overall health.
