Patient's question:
My baby doesn't know if it's because of eating something bad or what, but he has been having diarrhea for these few days. I heard from the older generation that massage therapy can treat it, so what should I do?Doctor's answer:
When children suffer from diarrhea, the therapeutic effect of TCM massage or acupressure is relatively significant, and it does not produce side effects. Specifically, the methods include the abdominal massage technique, the back-pushing technique, and the upper-seven-joint bone pushing, among others. Regardless of which method is used, the technique must be gentle, and an appropriate amount of baby oil should be applied beforehand to avoid excessive friction and discomfort. It is best to perform acupressure on children under the guidance of a professional doctor to prevent any adverse effects.
