Patient's question:
On the fifth day of the illness, after three days of acupuncture, there was no improvement. At home, I applied yellow eel blood to my face.，？Doctor's answer:
The main function of acupuncture is to regulate the meridians, activate blood circulation, and dispel cold. It is effective for conditions like lower back pain, cervical spondylosis, and knee arthritis caused by poor blood and Qi flow. It can be used in conjunction with infrared therapy, as infrared has the effect of warming the meridians and dispelling cold. A session of about 15 minutes is recommended. If the pain is severe, it can be used twice a day. If the condition is not serious, just one session is sufficient.During treatment, avoid consuming extremely cold foods, as well as spicy, greasy, or oily foods.
What specific discomforts do you have? For severe pediatric cases, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
