Q Can symptoms worsen or recur after treatment?
A Once Spleen-Stomach function has sufficiently recovered, the recurrence rate is low, but recurrence is possible if dietary habits are not managed.
Detailed Answer
Even after herbal medicine treatment restores Spleen-Stomach function, continued cold foods, overeating, and irregular meals can cause food stagnation to accumulate again or Spleen-Stomach Qi deficiency to recur. For about 6 months after treatment ends, lifestyle management in accordance with dietary guidance is important.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we recommend seasonal and growth-period check-ups even after treatment is complete. If needed, short tonic prescriptions can help maintain the Spleen-Stomach, supporting healthy growth free from frequent illnesses.
