The “Oral Instruction Tantra” of the “Four Medical Tantras” divides diseases in children into 4 parts: causes, condition, categories, and symptoms. The diseases are proven with inquiries and examination by touching and looking. The most interesting type of examination is considered to be touching, which the main part is pulse-feeling. However, pulse feeling of children in traditional medicine is different from that of adults.
The general diagnostic method of traditional medicine consists of 3 parts: pulse reading, visual diagnosis (tongue and urine), hearing, and investigation. The diagnostic method of pediatrics in traditional medicine is based on the general method but different in some ways in consistence with the classification of diseases in children.
