大凡疮疽初生时，往往只有黄米粒或粟米粒大小，症状极其轻微，人们大多不以为急迫，但这却蕴藏着巨大的祸患，应当迅速辨别，不要忽视。如果能在病症未显现时就加以预防，在病情未形成时就进行调理，或者早晨察觉晚上就治疗，寻求良医诊治，那么就一定不会有生命危险了。如果因循守旧、轻慢疏忽，咨询平庸的医生，导致脓血结聚，将生死托付给命运，束手待毙，这离死亡难道不远吗？以至于筋骨败坏遗留残疾，穿通脏腑，死者十有八九，能不谨慎吗！
凡是患有疮疽的人，若将性命托付给庸医，任由其随意处置，危险立刻就会到来；如果使用良医，则可以保证痊愈。在选择医生时，不可不慎重挑选，辨别起来有什么困难呢？如果能饱读医书，久谙各种证候，对汤药运用熟练，透彻明白望色和切脉的技巧，性情仁慈善良，具备孝义忠信的品德，临诊时不被迷惑，处理决断果断，这才是良医，可以放心委托而不要怀疑。
然后关键在于患者自我克制，不可愤怒悲忧，叫喊怨恨，骄纵放肆，放纵口腹之欲，过度劳累服役；只宜保持清静恬淡、耐心为宜。在患者身边，要停止一切烦杂事务，切忌敲打触碰器物，避免各种恶俗声音，争吵是非，咒骂斗殴，以及产妇、淫乱男子、体气不洁者、带酒味及腥膻气味者、鸡犬乳儿、繁殖的家畜禽兽等，都必须远离。如果有亲友深情探病，可以预先嘱咐他们慢慢走、低声说话，委婉周到地伺候，行礼完毕后躬身退下，不要让患者听到叹息、惊讶怪异的谈话，勾起往日的宴乐回忆，远离亲戚牵惹情怀，只担心患者心情凄怆悲伤。尤其不可胡乱开具方药，徒然讨论虚实，迷惑扰乱患者，使其犹豫不决；只应方便地简短问候，不可久坐多言，以免劳倦患者，这对病情非常不利。
侍奉患者的人，应该接近中年，性情沉稳浓厚，勤劳谨慎、耐心，仁慈智慧。全在于用粥药进行调养，不错失时节；不要让侍者在患者身边弹指叹息，掩面哭泣私下言语，刺激感动患者，这非常不利于病情。饮食方面的禁忌慎重要点很多，不可不记载！家畜中不要吃驴、马、骆驼、骡子、猪、狗、牛、羊等，以及杂鱼、龟、鳖、虾、蟹以及腌制发臭的陈旧食物，自死病死倒毙之类，千万不要品尝食用。飞禽中，忌食鹅、鸭、鸿雁、鹰、雀、鹤、鸳鸯、鹭鸶、斑鸠、鸽子、乌鸦、野鸡以及能学人说话的鸟，千万不要吃。野兽中，忌食獐、狐、兔、虎、豹、熊、豺狼以及爪牙伤人的动物，有毒的虫兽，以及与自己生肖相冲的本命属相动物，禁忌切勿品尝食用。蔬菜中，忌食黄瓜、茄子、兰香（罗勒）、芸苔（油菜）、胡荽（香菜）、生菜、蓼草、芥菜、菌类、瓠瓜、韭菜、大蒜、葱、小蒜，千万不要吃。果木中，忌食桃、杏、枣、栗、李、柰（苹果类）、梨、梅、软枣、红柿、樱桃、胡桃、榛子、松子、花红（沙果）以及各种被虫蛀或未成熟的果实，千万不要吃。
如果疮疽脓液溃破、肿胀消退，气血虚弱时，则可以食用羊肉、鹌鹑、芜菁、姜、酱瓜、荠菜、萝卜以及黄白粮米、细米、稀粥软饭。等到肌肉完全生成，想吃美味时，适宜食用白熟酥饼、稠粥羹汤，要求熟软温和，稀稠适中，制作合乎法度，不要吃得过饱；此时尤其忌讳馒头蒸饼、馄饨、肉角、煎饼以及炙烤爆炒煎炸、咸酸、油腻脂肥鱼肉。等到肌肤趋于平整，恶肉去尽，疮口收敛之际，仍然忌讳起立行走、作揖接待宾客、房事饮酒宴会、嗔怒、沐浴，登高台榭、运动肢体、寒暑劳倦；正宜调节饮食，保养摄护以待康复，直到疮瘢平复，精神恢复如常，气力完全，才万无禁忌。但在百日之内务必不要触犯这些禁忌。
Generally, when a carbuncle or ulcer first appears, it is often only the size of a millet seed or grain of sorghum. The condition is extremely subtle, and most people do not consider it urgent. However, this harbors a major disaster and should be identified quickly without neglect. If one can prevent it before it takes shape, treat it before it fully develops, or seek treatment from a qualified physician as soon as symptoms are perceived in the morning and by evening, then there will certainly be no life-threatening danger. But if one procrastinates, acts negligently, consults mediocre physicians, leading to the accumulation of pus and blood, resigning oneself to fate, waiting for death with hands tied, how far is this from death? It may result in the destruction of muscles and bones leaving disabilities, perforation of internal organs, with eight or nine out of ten dying. Can one not be cautious?
Those suffering from carbuncles and ulcers who entrust their lives to mediocre physicians and allow arbitrary management face imminent danger; however, if treated by a qualified physician, recovery can be ensured. When selecting a physician, one must not fail to choose carefully. Is it difficult to discern? A qualified physician is one who has read medical classics extensively, is well-versed in various syndromes, is proficient in decoctions, thoroughly understands observation of complexion and pulse diagnosis, possesses a benevolent and kind nature, upholds filial piety, righteousness, loyalty, and trustworthiness, remains unconfused during clinical practice, and makes decisive treatments. Such a person should be entrusted without doubt.
Subsequently, the key lies in the patient's self-discipline. One must not harbor anger, sorrow, or grief; shouting or harboring resentment; acting arrogantly or indulging desires; nor overwork oneself through labor. Instead, one should maintain tranquility, serenity, and patience. Around the patient, all trivial matters should cease. One must strictly avoid striking or touching objects, unpleasant noises, arguments over right and wrong, cursing, fighting, as well as postpartum women, promiscuous men, those with unclean body odors, those smelling of alcohol or fishy/muttony odors, nursing mothers with infants, dogs, chickens, and breeding livestock. These must be kept at a distance. If close relatives or friends wish to visit seriously, they should be instructed beforehand to walk slowly and speak softly, attend to the patient tactfully, bow respectfully upon departure, and avoid sighing, expressing surprise, reminiscing about past banquets, or discussing distant relatives that might stir emotions and cause the patient distress. Especially, do not arbitrarily prescribe medications or merely discuss deficiency and excess patterns, confusing the patient and causing hesitation. Brief inquiries are sufficient; do not sit for long periods or talk excessively, as this tires the patient and is highly detrimental.
The caregiver should ideally be near middle age, with a calm and profound temperament, diligent, cautious, patient, benevolent, and wise. Care primarily involves regulating diet with gruel and medicinal foods, ensuring timely administration. Caregivers must not snap fingers, sigh, cover tears, or whisper secretly near the patient, as this agitates them and is very unfavorable. Dietary taboos are numerous and must be recorded!
Among domestic animals, avoid donkeys, horses, camels, mules, pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep, as well as miscellaneous fish, turtles, soft-shelled turtles, shrimp, crabs, pickled or rotten stale foods, and animals that died naturally or from disease. Do not taste these. Among birds, avoid geese, ducks, wild geese, eagles, sparrows, cranes, mandarin ducks, egrets, doves, pigeons, crows, pheasants, and any birds capable of mimicking human speech. Do not eat these. Among wild beasts, avoid roe deer, foxes, rabbits, tigers, leopards, bears, jackals, and any animals with claws/teeth that harm humans, poisonous insects/beasts, and animals corresponding to one's own zodiac sign (Ben Ming). Do not taste these.
Among vegetables, avoid cucumbers, eggplants, basil (Lanxiang), rapeseed greens, coriander (Husui), raw lettuce, smartweed, mustard greens, mushrooms, bottle gourds, garlic chives, garlic, scallions, and Welsh onions. Do not eat these. Among fruits, avoid peaches, apricots, jujubes, chestnuts, plums, nectarines/apples (Nai), pears, plums (Mei), soft dates, persimmons, cherries, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, crabapples (Huahong), and any fruits infested by insects or unripe. Do not eat these.
When the carbuncle or ulcer has ruptured, pus has drained, swelling has subsided, and Qi and Blood are weak, mutton, quail, turnips (Wujing), ginger, pickled melon, shepherd's purse, radishes, yellow/white grains, fine rice, thin porridge, and soft cooked rice may be consumed. Once muscle tissue has fully regenerated and cravings for rich flavors arise, white baked酥饼 (crisp cakes), thick porridge soups, and stews that are thoroughly cooked, soft, warm, and of moderate consistency, prepared according to proper methods, are suitable. Avoid overeating. At this stage, specifically avoid steamed buns, wontons, meat dumplings, pancakes, roasted/fried/grilled foods, salty/sour items, and greasy/fatty meats and fish.
When the skin approaches normalcy, foul tissue is completely removed, and the wound begins to contract, one must still avoid standing/walking excessively, greeting guests with bows, sexual activity, drinking/banquets, anger, bathing, climbing towers/pavilions, physical exercise, exposure to cold/heat, and fatigue. Proper regulation of diet and preservation of health are essential until the scar flattens, spirit returns to normal, and strength is fully restored, at which point there are absolutely no restrictions. However, these taboos must strictly not be violated within 100 days.
