Q Is non-face-to-face consultation available?
A If symptoms are stable, consultation can begin remotely with a symptom questionnaire and discussion. However, an in-person visit is required for an accurate diagnosis and herbal medicine prescription, and if there is repeated vomiting, dehydration, or rapid weight loss, an in-person examination is recommended first.
Detailed Answer
If your condition is stable and there are no emergency signs, we can begin by collecting your symptoms, dietary habits, and lifestyle patterns remotely and providing a basic consultation. This allows us to understand your condition before your first visit and save time. However, since direct examination techniques such as pulse diagnosis and abdominal examination are needed, an in-person visit is recommended for accurate diagnosis and herbal medicine prescription.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
If vomiting is so frequent that even water is difficult to swallow, or if there is dehydration or rapid weight loss, we recommend first being evaluated at a nearby medical institution to rule out other causes. After safety is confirmed, continuing traditional Korean medicine treatment is appropriate.
