Li Xu finished reading the patient's case file.
It was a bit serious.
The patient's mother was also very anxious.
Li Xu reassured her, "Don't worry, let me take a look first."
He gestured for Zheng Hao to hold out his hand and began to take his pulse.
The pulse was deep, slippery, and slow.
A deep pulse indicates an internal condition, a slippery pulse indicates dampness, and a slow pulse indicates spleen deficiency.
He then carefully observed the boy's complexion and tongue.
His tongue was pale with a thin, white coating.
There was edema all over his body, especially on his eyelids and lower limbs. When pressed with a finger, it left a deep pit that took a long time to rebound.
"How do you usually feel?" Li Xu asked.
Zheng Hao answered weakly, "Tired, extremely tired. I always feel like sleeping in class and have no energy. My back is sore, my legs feel heavy, and it feels like I'm carrying a sandbag on my body."
Li Xu nodded. He already had a diagnosis in mind.
