薛立斋说：产后出现虚烦和发热，是由于阳气随着阴血耗散而外越，导致气血都虚弱。如果出现恶寒发热、烦躁不安、极度口渴的症状，应立即使用十全大补汤。如果热势更加严重，应紧急加入肉桂和附子。如果出现口渴、面色发红，适宜使用当归补血汤。如果错误地将其认定为火证，投用寒凉药物，灾祸将在顷刻间发生。

Xue Lizhai stated: Postpartum deficiency vexation and fever result from Yang following the dispersion of Yin, leading to a deficiency of both Qi and Blood. If there are symptoms of aversion to cold with fever, restlessness, and excessive thirst, Shiquan Dabu Tang (Complete Ten Tonics Decoction) should be administered urgently. If the heat intensifies, Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) should be added urgently. If there is thirst and a red face, Danggui Buxue Tang (Dong Quai Decoction for Nourishing Blood) is appropriate. Misidentifying this as a Fire syndrome and administering cooling agents will lead to disaster in an instant.
Renshen Danggui Tang (Ginseng and Dong Quai Decoction)
