A We assess the state of the digestive system and degree of phlegm through body measurements, abdominal palpation, pulse diagnosis, and tongue diagnosis.
Detailed Answer
At the first visit, we check the child's height, weight, and body fat distribution, assess the digestive system through abdominal palpation, and evaluate the overall constitution and degree of phlegm through pulse and tongue diagnosis. We also conduct an interview about eating habits and lifestyle patterns.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Rather than relying on weight numbers alone, a comprehensive assessment of the child's digestive function and phlegm condition is needed for an accurate prescription.
