Q What should I prepare for the first visit?
A Bringing a list of current medications and ointments, a food diary, and skin photos helps with an accurate diagnosis.
Detailed Answer
Items to bring for the first visit: the names and dosages of the steroid ointments and antihistamines currently in use, a food diary from the past 1-2 weeks, and photos of the skin areas where symptoms were severe (smartphone photos are fine). Children should come with a guardian.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, during the first visit we also assess the child's constitutional type, digestive condition, and sleep patterns to decide on a tailored prescription. The consultation takes 30 minutes or more.
