Pediatric autumn diarrhea is named because it is more common in autumn. It is mostly caused by rotavirus infection and is more common in infants and young children under 2 years old. This disease is contagious. Due to the delicate organs and low immune function of children, their defense capabilities are poor, making them susceptible to infection and illness. The clinical manifestations include increased frequency of bowel movements, watery stools, and egg-drop-like stools, often accompanied by vomiting, loss of appetite, decreased urine output, and mild fever. If not treated in time, it can cause severe electrolyte and acid-base imbalances in children, and in severe cases, it can lead to prolonged illness, malnutrition, and hinder growth and development. In response to this situation, the "Sanqing Yun Pushing Method" can be used for treatment.

Autumn diarrhea in children is a common and frequently occurring disease in pediatrics. Modern medicine often uses antiviral drugs, intestinal mucosal protectants, and microbial regulators for treatment, but the efficacy is not ideal, and the condition often persists. Pediatric autumn diarrhea belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine "diarrhea", where the body is invaded by external pathogens and the spleen and stomach are weak. The use of traditional pediatric massage therapy in clinical practice has shown remarkable effectiveness in treating this disease. It is often effective for cases where modern medical treatment is ineffective, and it can be cured after 3-5 sessions of pediatric massage. Therefore, pediatric massage should be the preferred treatment for autumn diarrhea. Its characteristic is to allow the spleen and stomach to rest fully, reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach, and achieve the balance of organ functions through specific acupuncture points in children, thus curing the disease.
Pediatric massage is a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine and can be described as a pure green therapy in modern terms. Therefore, using traditional massage therapy to treat pediatric diarrhea is an excellent treatment option.
