This week, we shall talk about "recurring/frequent flu". Young parents nowadays send their children to childcare centres, after which they notice that their children fall sick easily and frequently. Full recovery is often impeded due to cross contamination amongst children. Usually the child catch the cold again before full recovery and we call this recurring flu. In the long run, this can result in a decrease in immunity, causing patients to be more susceptible to external pathogens such as hand-food-mouth disease, cough and flu, diarrhoea, asthma and chicken pox, and a vicious cycle ensues. Recurring flu can be separated into two stages: (1) Active stage: stuffy or blocked nose, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, swollen tonsil, cough, shortness of breath. Please visit the doctor for consultation and treatment during this stage. Do not do 'NieJi'. (2) Recovery stage: excessive sweating, loss of appetite, weak muscle, thin, lesser cough, lesser runny nose. The child may catch the cold again if care was not taken. During this stage, the external pathogenic factors has been cleared but the immunity has yet to fully recover, hence the child still have some cough and runny nose. During this stage, parents can help the child do 'NieJi' and 'MoFu'. As parents nowadays prefer using natural and organic products/ways, hence external treatment is preferred, for example pediatric tuina, medicinal plasters, herbal vapour therapy. Below are some commonly used paediatric acupoints which can be applied on child patients at home. Paediatric acupoints ‘NieJi’(As shown in video). Do 5 times. ‘MoFu’(As shown in comment's video). Children with constipation can massage for 5min, children without constipation can massage for 3min. Medicinal cuisine: These medicinal cuisine can increase antibodies and improve the immune system. Examples include herbal duck soup, eight treasures porridge (gorgon euryale seed, lotus seed, red date, dried longan, rice, millet, red bean, pumpkin) Ca
