Q What should I prepare before the consultation?
A If you organize when your symptoms are worst, which seasons, environments, or foods worsen them, the medications you are taking, and any test results you've received, your visit will be faster and more accurate.
Detailed Answer
It helps greatly if you make a note of when symptoms began, when they worsen during the day and across seasons, and which environments or foods aggravate them. If you have a nasal spray you are currently using, medications you are taking, or recent test results such as nasal endoscopy or CT, bringing them along enables a more accurate consultation.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Such records become clues for finding the lifestyle patterns and causes hidden behind the symptoms. The more thorough your preparation, the more precisely Dongjedang can grasp the underlying state, such as dried-out mucosa or dampness-phlegm stagnation, at the first visit and set the treatment direction.
