Which part should I massage when a child has a cough?

When a child coughs, it is necessary to use formal methods to treat it. It is best not to perform massage on a child who coughs, especially for infants, who have poor physical constitution and incomplete bone development. If massage is performed at this time, it is often easy to cause adverse effects. Of course, if massage is really necessary, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment to avoid adverse effects on the child's health.

The Tiantu point is located just below the child's throat, in the depression 0.5 inches above the center of the upper edge of the sternal notch. The Tanzhong point is located on the sternum, which is in the middle of the line connecting the child's two nipples. You can massage these two points separately for about two minutes.
