Pediatric massage for food stagnation should focus on strengthening the spleen, regulating the stomach, promoting digestion, and eliminating food accumulation. The techniques should be gentle and mild, commonly including clockwise abdominal rubbing, massaging the Banmen point, pushing the Four Transverse Lines, clearing the Large Intestine channel, and spinal捏脊 (spinal pinching). During massage, contraindications and precautions must be observed. Hands should be thoroughly cleaned before the procedure, and treatment should be avoided when the child is overly full or hungry. Pressure should be adjusted according to the child's comfort level.

A baby's thick white tongue coating after formula feeding may be caused by residual formula, immature digestive function, insufficient water intake, oral thrush, or indigestion. This can be improved through methods such as oral hygiene, adjusting feeding practices, increasing fluid intake, or medical treatment. If the tongue coating persists or is accompanied by refusal to feed or excessive crying, prompt medical attention is needed. Incomplete removal of protein residue from formula may contribute to this issue.

Parts of the soft-shelled turtle that should not be consumed generally include the bitter gallbladder, gastrointestinal contents, turtle blood, turtle fat, and lymph nodes in the neck. The bitter gallbladder is located deep within the internal organs; it has an intensely bitter taste and contains irritants. Ingesting it may irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, causing discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and impairing digestive function. It must be carefully removed and discarded during preparation.

The purple ring with a white center after cupping results from the combined effects of local blood circulation and tissue fluid exudation. The central white area typically occurs because the negative pressure is strongest at the center of the cup, temporarily compressing and occluding capillaries. The surrounding purple area represents bruising caused by capillary dilation and minor blood leakage in the peripheral region, which is a normal physiological response following cupping therapy.

Taking the medication after meals or with food can buffer the drug's irritation to the gastrointestinal mucosa, reducing discomfort such as acid reflux and bloating. Meanwhile, the fat content in food aids in the dissolution and absorption of vitamin D2, facilitating better utilization of calcium by the body and ensuring effective calcium supplementation. On an empty stomach, the medication directly contacts the gastrointestinal mucosa, making sensitive individuals more prone to gastrointestinal discomfort, and absorption is impaired due to the lack of food assistance.

Regulating a child with excessive lung heat, hyperactive fire of the heart, and spleen deficiency requires simultaneously clearing heat without harming the spleen, reducing fire without causing coldness, and strengthening the spleen to aid digestion. Specific approaches mainly include dietary therapy, daily care, emotional regulation, moderate exercise, and symptomatic massage. During regulation, contraindications and precautions should also be observed, following the principle of gentle and gradual improvement; one must not blindly use cold-natured foods or medications.

Commonly used massage techniques for infants and young children include stroking, kneading, pressing, pushing, and spinal pinching. Recommended areas for massage generally include the abdomen, back, hands, feet, and face. Using the palm or pads of the fingers, gently touch the infant's skin with smooth, slow gliding movements. These gentle and soothing motions can stimulate cutaneous sensory development and enhance parent-child bonding, and are suitable for all parts of the body.

The benefits of full-body moxibustion include warming and unblocking meridians, dispelling cold and dampness, regulating qi and blood, enhancing immunity, and improving metabolism. Precautions include avoiding contraindicated individuals, following proper procedures, controlling duration and frequency, avoiding special periods (such as menstruation or pregnancy), and monitoring bodily reactions. If severe burns, allergic shock, or worsening of the condition occur after moxibustion, immediate medical attention is required.

In general, a needle-pricking sensation during moxibustion may be caused by stimulation from moxa heat, improper technique, skin allergy, herpes zoster, peripheral neuritis, or other reasons. Appropriate measures such as routine management or medication can be chosen based on the specific situation to alleviate symptoms. The skin should be cleaned before moxibustion, and qualified moxa sticks should be selected. If the pricking sensation occurs frequently or is accompanied by rash or severe pain, medical attention is recommended.

In general, feeling very weak the day after cupping therapy may be caused by open pores on the skin surface, depletion of qi and blood, hypoglycemia, anemia, hypothyroidism, or other reasons. Depending on the specific situation, improvement can be achieved through general调理 (regulation), medication, or other treatments. Before undergoing cupping, one should clearly understand their physical constitution and avoid the procedure when fasting or fatigued. If the feeling of weakness persists for more than 3 days or is accompanied by dizziness or palpitations, seek medical attention promptly.
