In babies, cold symptoms increase for two to three days then diminish to disappear after about 7 days. The common cold, however, can last up to two weeks. Here are some massages that can help relieve your baby.
To stimulate your immune system
With your thumb, rub the inside of the wrists about twenty times. Just below the palm are large acupuncture meridians that stimulate the immune system. You can also massage the soles of the feet, insisting a little under the big toe (point of the ENT sphere).
To promote breathing
– With the palms of your hands, massage the chest by performing a cross movement: from the shoulders to the middle of the belly, on one side then the other. Do it 10 times.
– Put your child on his stomach. Massage her back from the shoulders to the legs. Perform this movement in a cross.
To relieve cold symptoms
– With your thumb, exert small pressures on the palms of the hands. Insist on the hollow of the thumb: this acupuncture point acts on the evacuation of secretions.
– Gently massage the back of the ears, from the lobe to the top to relieve the ENT sphere.
Good to know
In the event of fever and large congestion, however, they do not replace a consultation with the doctor.
