Objective To apply pediatric massage combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress in children with lung wind and phlegm asthma of wind-cold lung closure type and observe its therapeutic effect. Methods Sixty children with lung wind phlegm asthma (wind-cold lung closure type) admitted to our hospital from December 2023 to April 2025 were selected as the research subjects. They were grouped according to the random number table method. Thirty cases in the control group received conventional Western medical treatment, and 30 cases in the observation group were treated with pediatric massage combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress. Compare the differences in total effective rate, time for clinical symptom regression, and various indicators of TCM syndrome score between the two groups. Results The comparison of the total effective rates between the two groups showed that the observation group (96.67%) was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The comparison of symptom regression time between the two groups showed that the observation group had a shorter time (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the TCM syndrome score comparison between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion For children with lung wind and phlegm asthma of wind-cold lung closure type, the application of pediatric massage combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy can achieve definite therapeutic effects, accelerate the resolution of various symptoms in children, improve traditional Chinese medicine syndromes, and has high application value.
