Patient's question:
My son has a fever. It is said that acupuncture can cure many diseases. Hello, what is the acupuncture method for children's fever?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric acupuncture can indeed treat fever. For example, techniques like clearing the Heavenly River, clearing the large intestine, clearing the lungs, and tonifying the Earthly Palace can all be used to treat children's fever. However, it is not recommended for patients to perform pediatric acupuncture at home because if a child has a fever, the relief from acupuncture is very slow. If the low-grade fever persists for a long time, it may lead to pneumonia. Therefore, when it comes to treating the root cause, Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine—let's start by taking some fever-reducing medication first.
