The child has a cold, so it is necessary to distinguish whether the symptoms of this cold are wind-cold or wind-heat. You can make a preliminary judgment according to whether the child's throat is red or not. If the throat is not red, it is mostly a cold. If the throat is red or swollen, it is mostly a wind-heat cold. Whether it's cold or wind-heat cold, it's not suitable for eating greasy, sticky, sour and smelly food. Of course, colds can also be improved by massaging some acupoints. Next, I will provide you with a set of massage techniques.

First of all, we should know the location of these acupuncture points: Tianmen point forms a straight line between eyebrows and forehair. Acupoint Yumei is in a straight line from brow to brow. The temple is located between the brow tip and the outer corner of the eye, about one horizontal finger backward. The high bone behind the ear is located in the subosseous depression of the hairline behind the ear. Fengchi point is located in the lateral depression of the suboccipital tendon behind the neck. Fengmen point is located under the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra, with a lateral opening of 1.5 inch. Dazhui point is located in the sub-vertebral depression of the seventh cervical vertebra. Jianjing point is located at the midpoint of the connecting line between Dazhui and acromion.

Knowing the positions of the above acupoints, we can massage.

Step 1, find Tianmen point, and push it up from the brow to the hairline before the forehead with two thumbs. The second step is to find the Kangong point and push it from the brow to the end of the eyebrow with the threaded surface of both thumbs. The third step is to find the thumb tip of the temple and move it flexibly; The fourth step is to find the high bone behind the ear. Rub the posterior ear bone with the middle finger of both hands.

Step 5, hold the child's head from behind with both hands, put the thumb under the occipital bone and the depression between the upper ends of trapezius muscles, and then press. Step 6, press and rub Fengmen point with your thumb. Step 7, press and rub Dazhui point with your thumb. Step 8: press the left thumb or middle finger to rub the ice and snow, hold the finger on the same side with the right hand, bend the elbow and wrist and shake the upper and lower limbs. Learning the above methods can alleviate children's colds.
