"A special massage, with which you can facilitate the passage of sputum in bronchitis, tracheitis, parents is quite possible. Massage should be done daily for 5 days, the entire procedure takes up to 10 minutes. But, if the child has a high temperature, then you should wait until it goes to sleep.
Before the massage, the child should be given an expectorant, which should be selected by the attending physician. To prevent painful sensations on the skin, you need to use either a baby cream or a normal baby powder, which needs to be treated with your hands before starting the massage.
During the procedure, especially if the child is small, be sure to talk with him, remember comic sentences, turning everything into a kind of game - then the child will be less spinning, which means that the effect of the massage will be more significant.
The child lies on his chest. You massage first one half of the back, then the other, necessarily grabbing and the area from the sides. Doing protections and claps, move on the back from the bottom up and back:
1st reception . With your entire hand rub your back from the waist to the shoulder and back to redness.
2nd reception . Now, with the fingers of both hands, make horizontal protuberances (like on patties), saying: "This is geese weed plucking."
3rd reception . Fold the palm into the handful (fingers together) and pat on the back with pillows of folded fingers (a dull cotton is obtained) - "and now the frogs jumped".
4th reception . Ribs of the hands are quickly threshed on the back - "karatek is warming up".
5th reception . Now the same thing, but with the fists of the fists - "the elephants were flooded."
All techniques should not be carried out too much, but too weak pats will not bring results. After the massage, the skin on the back should turn pink. You put your hand on your back and ask the child to clear his throat.
Turn it on your back and rub your entire chest with the chest from the center (just above the heart) to the collarbone - it's more tender than the back, but it will not turn pink either. Then the child sits on his knees, and you begin gently, with an easy circular movement of two fingers, to rub the jugular cavity, which is on the larynx between the clavicles under the Adam's apple. Again ask me to clear your throat. In these two coughs, sputum is heard, although spitting out like an adult, the child is most likely not going to. After the massage, dress the baby and let him rest lying down. "
