Patient's question:
My daughter has been feeling a bit uncomfortable with cough recently. It is said that acupuncture can help alleviate it. Where would be a good place to get acupuncture for children's cough?Doctor's answer:
This recurring cough in children is mostly considered to be caused by recent upper respiratory tract infections or mild bronchitis, primarily related to exposure to cold wind or catching a cold. It is best to take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations. In terms of treatment, pediatric acupuncture can indeed be considered, such as tonifying the Lung meridian or manipulating the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. It is highly recommended to visit a specialized traditional Chinese medicine hospital for this. Additionally, oral administration of Chinese patent medicine like Qingfei Ling Shou can be used in conjunction. For specific medication use, strictly follow the doctor's advice.
