Director Huang Zhongyu of the Traditional Medicine Department at Wan Fang Hospital stated that Sanfu Plaster has a significant therapeutic effect on allergy symptoms. In spring, children are prone to cold and cough; when a sudden cough occurs, pressing the "Chize" acupoint on the arm can temporarily stop the cough. Additionally, during a cold, using the warm air from a hairdryer to blow on the Da Zhui acupoint on the back of the neck can help alleviate symptoms. Dr. Huang pointed out that coughing is not solely a lung issue; it can also be related to the gastrointestinal tract, and identification should be based on individual symptoms. She mentioned that eating ice might aggravate coughing, while roasted oranges can help soothe it. For allergic children, applying Sanfu Plaster every summer and considering the Sanjiu plaster in winter can continuously improve symptoms.

The director of the Traditional Medicine Department at Wan Fang Hospital stated that the sanfu patch has a significant therapeutic effect on alleviating allergy symptoms. In spring, children’s faces are especially prone to catching colds and coughing due to the sudden changes in temperature. When the urge to cough strikes suddenly on a bus or subway, it often feels embarrassing. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners suggest that when the impulse to cough occurs, one can gently press the “Chize” acupoint on the arm to temporarily relieve the cough. Additionally, when feeling unwell due to a cold, pressing or using a hairdryer to blow warm air on the “Dazhui” acupoint at the nape of the neck can also help alleviate cold symptoms.
Experts point out that coughing does not necessarily indicate a lung problem; sometimes gastrointestinal discomfort can also trigger coughing. Therefore, treatment needs to be distinguished based on the individual's constitution and symptoms. Among common cough contraindications, consuming icy foods can indeed worsen coughing, while eating heated oranges can help with cough relief. For popular remedies like Chuanbei Loquat Syrup and powdered Chinese herbal medicine available on the market, it is advisable to mix them with warm water for better absorption of their effects.
As for the care of allergy-prone children, experts emphasize that sanfu patches can indeed improve symptoms, but treatment should not be limited to just three years. Each summer, during the most stable weather of the sanfu days, treatment should be carried out, and the application of sanjiu patches in winter should also be considered. These measures can effectively alleviate discomfort.
