A Generally once a week for the first two weeks, then adjusted to once every two weeks as the condition improves.
Detailed Answer
<p>The basic visit interval for pediatric poor appetite treatment in Korean medicine is once a week during the first two weeks. During this period, we check changes in food intake and digestive status and fine-tune the prescription. Once improvement is confirmed, the visit interval is extended to once every two weeks, moving into the maintenance phase. For busy parents, it is also possible to receive two weeks' worth of medicine at once when needed.</p><h3>Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective</h3><p>At Dongjedang, we directly check the child's condition at every visit and adjust the prescription. Rather than simply continuing the same medication, we offer individualized treatment that changes the concentration and composition of the prescription according to the child's response.</p>
