Can acupressure, reflex or massage help cure q fever?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Likely not: Q fever is an infection caused by coxiella burnetii which usually causes acute respiratory disease but can cause a variety of chronic features. None of these maneuvers are likely to cure the infection but may alleviate some symptoms.
