Do note that the Chinese Medicine; unlike the Western ones, targets the root cause and not the symptoms - so you need to give it more time to see the improvement. My daughter saw the physician once for for a very bad cough - they did the cupping (reduced strength!)... she had blue blacks all over for a few days. But according to her it wasn't painful.
Oh, when/if you see the physician, you can also ask them, whether there are any massage that you can do at home. E.g. there is this massage of the thumb that improves appetite, etc.
