Children’s fever-reducing massage techniques can help your baby quickly relieve fever
What is pediatric fever-reducing massage?
Pediatric antipyretic massage is a type of traditional Chinese massage. It massages specific acupoints on the baby\’s body to regulate the body\’s qi and blood, so as to relieve the baby\’s physical discomfort and reduce fever. Different from ordinary massage, pediatric massage requires strict mastery of techniques and acupuncture points to avoid unnecessary damage. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek guidance from professionals.
Which acupuncture points are suitable for antipyretic massage in children?
For antipyretic massage in children, acupoints on the head and feet are the most important. The acupoints on the head include \”Baihui point\”, \”Fengchi point\”, \”Gouque point\”, \”Shengting point\”, etc., and the acupoints on the feet include \”Yongquan point\”, \”Taichong point\”, \”Sanyinjiao point\” and so on. These acupuncture points can adjust the balance of Qi and blood in the baby\’s body and increase the baby\’s self-healing ability.
Tips of massage for reducing fever in children
Before massaging, it is recommended that parents let the baby lie flat on a soft bed or sit on their own legs to maintain a relaxed state. Then, use the thumb, index finger, middle finger, etc. as the main force to massage the acupoints, light pinching and massage.
During the massage process, you need to pay attention to gentle techniques and moderate intensity to avoid strong stimulation to the baby. At the same time, the baby\’s reaction should be carefully observed. If discomfort, pain, etc. occur, the massage should be stopped immediately.
Precautions for antipyretic massage in children
Pediatric fever-reducing massage is a very safe therapy, but it should be avoided if the following conditions exist:
1. The baby\’s physical condition is unstable or has serious illness;
2. Baby’s skin is prone to allergic reactions;
3. The baby is having a fever or high fever.
In short, pediatric fever-reducing massage is a safe, simple, and practical method to relieve fever and discomfort in babies. But before the operation, parents need to understand the basic massage methods and combine them with the actual physical condition of the baby to achieve safe and effective treatment. If in any doubt, it is recommended to seek professional advice.
