While the parents described the boy's condition, the doctors in the conference room observed him closely. His face was rather flushed. A nearby doctor checked the boy's tongue—it was pale red, scattered with red spots, and had a greasy coating. Once the parents finished speaking, Ju Jiahong took the boy's pulse. It felt slippery under his fingers.
"Everyone is now familiar with the patient's basic condition," Ju Jiahong said after sharing his findings on the pulse and tongue coating with the group.
Many doctors in the conference room looked thoughtful. Some even whispered among themselves. "Judging from the boy's complexion and tongue coating, these are entirely heat symptoms. Generally speaking, this condition should result in boundless energy or insomnia. How could it cause lethargy?"
"Exactly. This is highly unusual."
