Paediatric Tuina for fever and runny nose

Soft forehead, temple, nasal, and arm strokes often taught when a feverish runny nose sits with wind-heat signs. Soft pressure only; clinic first.

In brief

A short paediatric Tuina set for fever with runny nose: open the forehead gate (开天门), push Kan Gong across the brows (推坎宫), circle Taiyang and Er Hou Gao Gu, knead Ying Xiang (LI20), clear Fei Jing on the ring finger, and push San Guan on the radial forearm. Counts are educational; ask a physician to show the grip before home practice.

FAQs

Quick questions

Can I do this during a fever?

Soft strokes may support comfort when a physician has agreed the set fits. Do not rely on home Tuina alone for high fever or breathing difficulty.

How does this relate to the nose LI20 Bite?

Ying Xiang appears here inside a fever-runny concern routine. The nose Bite keeps a shorter LI20 and Taiyang pair for nasal comfort alone.
