【方歌】鹳口疽生尻尾尖，经属督脉湿痰源，肿如鱼肫溃鹳嘴，
少壮易愈老难痊。
【注】此证一名锐疽，生于尻尾骨尖处。初肿形如鱼肫，色赤
坚痛，溃破口若鹳嘴，属督脉经，由湿痰流结所致。朝
寒暮热，夜重日轻，溃出稀脓为不足；或流稠脓鲜血为
有余。少壮可愈，老弱难敛，易于成漏。初起宜滋阴除
湿汤以和之；已成不得内消者，用和气养荣汤以托之；
气血虚弱，溃而敛迟者，滋肾保元汤以补之。若失治久
而不敛者，宜服先天大造丸，兼服琥珀蜡矾丸，久久收
敛。外治法按痈疽肿疡、溃疡门。

又方：琥珀蜡矾丸（见肿疡门）
【方歌】鹳口疽生于尾骨尖端，归属于督脉，病因为湿痰。肿胀形状像鱼肚，溃破后开口如同鹳鸟的嘴。年轻力壮者容易痊愈，年老体弱者难以治愈。
【注】此证又名锐疽，生长在尾骨尖处。初期肿胀形状像鱼肚，颜色红赤，坚硬且疼痛，溃破后的创口像鹳鸟的嘴，归属于督脉经，由湿痰流注结聚所致。早晨怕冷傍晚发热，夜间症状加重白天减轻，溃破后流出稀薄脓液属于正气不足；或者流出稠厚脓液和鲜血属于邪气有余。年轻力壮者可愈，年老体弱者难愈合，容易形成瘘管。初起时适宜用滋阴除湿汤来调和；已经成脓无法从内部消散的，用和气养荣汤来托毒外出；气血虚弱，溃破后愈合缓慢的，用滋肾保元汤来补益。如果延误治疗长久不愈合的，适宜服用先天大造丸，兼服琥珀蜡矾丸，久而久之即可收敛。外治法参照痈疽肿疡、溃疡章节的方法。

[Prescription Verse] Guan Kou Ju (Stork's Mouth Carbuncle) arises at the tip of the coccyx, belonging to the Du Meridian (Governing Vessel), with damp-phlegm as its source. The swelling resembles a fish's ventriculus; upon ulceration, the opening looks like a stork's beak. It is easily cured in the young and strong but difficult to heal in the old and weak.
[Annotation] This condition is also known as Rui Ju (Sharp Carbuncle), occurring at the tip of the coccyx. Initially, the swelling resembles a fish's ventriculus, appearing red, hard, and painful. Upon ulceration, the wound resembles a stork's beak. It belongs to the Du Meridian (Governing Vessel) and is caused by the flow and accumulation of damp-phlegm. There is chills in the morning and fever in the evening, with symptoms worsening at night and improving during the day. Discharge of thin pus indicates deficiency (Zheng Qi Deficiency); discharge of thick pus mixed with fresh blood indicates excess (Xie Qi Excess). The young and strong can recover, while the old and weak have difficulty healing and are prone to forming fistulas. At the initial stage, Ziyin Chushi Tang (Nourish Yin and Remove Dampness Decoction) is suitable for harmonization. If the abscess has formed and cannot be resolved internally, Heqi Yangrong Tang (Harmonize Qi and Nourish Ying Decoction) should be used to expel toxins. For those with deficient Qi and Blood who heal slowly after ulceration, Zishen Baoyuan Tang (Nourish Kidney and Preserve Yuan Decoction) is used for tonification. If treatment is delayed and healing fails to occur over a long period, Xiantian Dazao Wan (Heavenly Origin Great Creation Pill) should be taken, along with Hupo Lafan Wan (Amber Beeswax Alum Pill), until healing eventually occurs. External treatments follow the methods described in the sections on Carbuncle Swelling Ulcer and Ulcerative Wounds.
