Nursing Experience of Massage Combined with Cupping Therapy Based on the Theory of "Interior-Exterior Relationship between the Lung and Large Intestine" for a Pediatric Cough Patient with Phlegm-Heat Obstructing the Lung Syndrome
This article summarizes the nursing experience of acupoint massage combined with back cupping therapy in the intervention for a pediatric patient with phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome. Guided by the classical theory of the "interior-exterior relationship between the lung and the large intestine," the intervention adhered to the principle of "simultaneous treatment of the lung and large intestine." The regimen adopted external therapeutic approaches, including acupoint massage combined with back cupping. The massage centered on clearing lung heat, purging excess heat, and unblocking the fu organs to resolve phlegm. Cupping was applied primarily at the Feishu and Dachangshu acupoints to regulate the qi activities of the lung and large intestine. In terms of nursing care, syndrome differentiation-based measures were implemented, including dietary guidance, bowel movement instruction, emotional comfort, and family health education. Through the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and syndrome differentiation-based nursing, the patient's symptoms were notably improved. This regimen fully demonstrates the advantages of external therapeutic approaches in TCM, featuring high safety and good compliance among pediatric patients, and is worthy of promotion and application in TCM pediatric nursing.
