小儿暑病有四证，中暑阳邪伤暑阴，暑风攻肝抽搐见，暑厥攻心不识人。
[注]
中暑，为阳邪单中暑热也，阳邪身热有汗，
伤暑，为阴邪中暑复感寒也，阴邪身热无汗，
中暑热极，攻肝则抽搐，攻心则厥冒不省人事，
治者果能因证分别施治，自无难矣。

暑证门
小儿暑病有四种证型：中暑是阳邪致病，伤暑是阴邪致病；暑风侵犯肝脏出现抽搐，暑厥侵犯心脏导致神志昏迷。
[注]
中暑，是由阳邪单独感受暑热所致，表现为身体发热且有汗；
伤暑，是由阴邪在感受暑热后又感受寒邪所致，表现为身体发热但无汗；
中暑若热势极盛，侵犯肝脏则出现抽搐，侵犯心脏则发生厥逆、昏冒且不省人事；
治疗者如果能根据证候分别施治，自然就没有困难了。

暑证门
Pediatric summerheat diseases manifest in four patterns: Summerstroke (Zhongshu) is caused by Yang pathogenic factors, while Heat exhaustion (Shangshu) is caused by Yin pathogenic factors; Summerwind (Shufeng) attacking the Liver presents with convulsions, and Summerjue (Shujue) attacking the Heart leads to unconsciousness.
[Note]
Summerstroke (Zhongshu) refers to contracting summerheat alone via Yang pathogenic factors, characterized by fever and sweating;
Heat exhaustion (Shangshu) refers to contracting summerheat followed by cold exposure via Yin pathogenic factors, characterized by fever but no sweating;
If summerheat becomes extreme and attacks the Liver, convulsions occur; if it attacks the Heart, Jue syndrome (reversal condition) occurs with coma and loss of consciousness.
If practitioners can treat according to specific patterns, there will be no difficulty.

Summerheat Disease Section
Symptoms of Summerstroke include profuse sweating with high fever, headache, intense thirst, restlessness, Qi deficiency, mental fatigue, and cold feet. Jiawei Renshen Baihu Tang (Modified Ginseng and White Tiger Decoction) is effective.
[Note]
The pattern of Summerstroke involves fever and sweating due to the steaming effect of summerheat,
leading to headache, thirst, and restlessness. In severe cases, it causes Qi deficiency, mental fatigue, cold feet, and aversion to cold.

Summerheat Disease Section
Heat exhaustion results from contracting summerheat combined with wind-cold, presenting with no sweating, fever, thirst, flushed face, dry retching, nausea, abdominal colic, lethargy, poor appetite, and heavy, painful limbs. Qingsan Erxiang Yin (Clearing and Dispersing Double Fragrance Drink) is highly effective; for Qi deficiency, Liuhe Tang (Six Harmonies Decoction) works well; for summerheat complicated by food stagnation causing aversion to food, frequent vomiting, and diarrhea, Jiawei Xiangru Yin (Modified Elsholtzia Drink) is most efficacious.
