Song Wei used his connections to invite Dean Wang from the Imperial Hospital to examine Granny Song.
Dean Wang took her pulse and reviewed the prescription written by Doctor Li. There was nothing wrong with the prescription, but the main issue was how serious the patient's condition was, making it difficult to recover in a short time.
Avoiding strong medicine due to her old age, Dean Wang performed moxibustion on her, reduced the medicine's dosage, and added two herbs with milder effects.
This extended the recovery time further, and it was only after five days that she began to show some improvement; her cough lessened, she began to regain her strength, and her appetite noticeably increased.
Granny Song had been bedridden for several days and longed to go outside for some sunshine, but Second Lang's wife wouldn't allow it, saying the wind was strong outside and she'd start coughing again if she went out.
