[Case study] One 6 year-old child with weakness in legs case

The patient, female, 6 years old, was restless at night, sweating a lot, body hot sensation, thirst, and the next morning, she felt her legs were quite weak, and she was unable to walk. She would rather kneel and crawl forward than walk. Red tongue with thin coating, fast and big pulse and feeling a bit less powerful and thinner than it should be. This is proof of the traditional White Tiger and Ginseng Decoction. Take one dose, two times a day, and the second time combined with Xiao Chaihu Decoction due to a bit taut pulse. The symptoms subsided on the second day.

This case is also in line with the theory of Yangming alone in the treatment of weakness of limbs as stated in the classic “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”.
