汤氏云∶小儿痢候,皆因饮食无节,或餐果食肉物,不知厌足,乃脾胃尚弱,不能克化,停积于脏,故成痢也。热
搏则赤,风寒之气,入于肠胃,致令津液凝滞,则成白痢,或夹青者,有惊积,或如鱼脑肚中疼甚者。大抵八痢,但冷、
热、赤、白,药性虽有不同,治法不相远矣。又有赤白相杂者,当先去其热积,须用大黄、枳实、朴消之剂以去其热毒,
然后以黄连、黄芩、黄柏解其热,痢自止,疼自定,此妙法也。如痢不止,则用地榆、熟艾等剂调理,自然平复。脾虚
者,不可轻用罂粟涩滞等剂,必致危困,须用没石子、黄连、阿胶、地榆以止之,方为尽善,其枳壳、芍药皆要药也。

汤氏说:小儿痢疾的证候,多因饮食无节制,或食用瓜果肉食而不知满足,由于小儿脾胃尚弱,不能消化运化,食物停滞积聚在脏腑内,从而形成痢疾。热邪搏结则成赤痢;风寒之气侵入肠胃,导致津液凝滞,则成白痢;若夹杂青色,是有惊积所致;若像鱼脑样,且肚中疼痛剧烈。大体上八种痢疾,无论是冷、热、赤、白,虽然药物性质有所不同,但治疗方法相差不远。又有赤白相杂的情况,应当先清除热积,必须使用大黄、枳实、朴硝等药剂以去除热毒,然后用黄连、黄芩、黄柏来清热,痢疾自然停止,疼痛自然缓解,这是妙法。如果痢疾不止,则用地榆、熟艾等药剂调理,自然会恢复平稳。脾虚者,不可轻易使用罂粟壳等收敛涩滞的药物,否则必然导致病情危重困顿,必须使用没石子、黄连、阿胶、地榆等来止痢,才算完善,其中枳壳、芍药都是要药。
患噤口痢不能进食者,主方用石莲散,香脯散也可使用。冷痢如豆汁样且腹痛者,主方用胃风汤。脾毒痢脏热者,当服用香连丸、黄连香薷散、去桂枝的五苓散、茅花汤、当归、芍药、枳壳、地榆、川芎等药剂,先给予解毒退热,再给予开胃进食,分利水谷,宽肠定痛,先用给水浸丹、局方败毒散、地榆饮、宽肠枳壳散。有热而痢疾不止者,主方用三黄熟艾汤。积滞不通者,神芎丸也可以使用。热盛烦躁者,用黄连解毒汤解除,泼火散也有效。

Lu Zhongyang stated: After the illness of slow convulsion (Man Jing), or due to vomiting and diarrhea causing stomach deficiency, or due to weak qi triggered by fright, if the whites of the eyes appear like pale ink and dysentery presents with greenish-yellow stool, this type of diarrhea should be treated with warming and tonifying methods. The primary formulas are Zhi Sheng Bao Ming Dan (Supreme Holy Life-Preserving Pill) or Gou Teng Yin (Uncaria Decoction).
If milk passes down with the feces, Xiao Ru Wan (Digest Milk Pill) or Jin Shi Wan (Promote Appetite Pill) should be used as the primary treatment.
If there is slight thirst, panting and dryness in the heart and spleen, along with feverish agitation, this type of diarrhea is particularly difficult to treat. The primary formula is Chen Sha Wu Ling San (Cinnabar Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction); if cold signs are present, Ding Ming Yin Zi (Life-Determining Decoction) should be used. Subsequently, Wen Jing Zhu Jun San (Warm Convulsion Lord Zhu Powder) or Shui Jing Tai Yi Dan (Sleep-Fright Taiyi Pill) should be administered.
Zhi Sheng Bao Ming Dan (Supreme Holy Life-Preserving Pill) - See Question 14.
Gou Teng Yin (Uncaria Decoction) - See Question 21.
Xiao Ru Wan (Digest Milk Pill) - See Question 60.
Jin Shi Wan (Promote Appetite Pill) - See Question 47.

Adding Bai Zhu, Bai Fu Ling, and Bai Shao Yao is especially effective.
Tang Shi stated: Pediatric dysentery syndromes are all caused by irregular diet, such as consuming fruits, nuts, or meat without restraint. Since the spleen and stomach are still weak and cannot digest and transform food properly, stagnation accumulates in the zang-fu organs, resulting in dysentery. Heat clashing results in red dysentery; wind-cold qi entering the intestines and stomach causes fluid stagnation, resulting in white dysentery; if mixed with green, it indicates fright accumulation; if resembling fish brains with severe abdominal pain, it indicates specific pathological conditions. Generally, among the eight types of dysentery, whether cold, heat, red, or white, although the medicinal properties differ, the treatment methods are not far apart. In cases where red and white are mixed, one must first clear heat accumulation, using agents containing Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), and Po Xiao (Natrii Sulfas) to remove heat toxins. Then, use Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), and Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex) to resolve heat. The dysentery will naturally stop, and pain will subside; this is a brilliant method. If dysentery persists, regulate with agents containing Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix) and Shu Ai Ye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium preparatum), and recovery will occur naturally. In cases of spleen deficiency, do not lightly use astringent agents like Ying Su Ke (Papaveris Pericarpium), as this will lead to critical danger. Instead, use Mo Shi Zi (Myrobalani Fructus), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini), and Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix) to stop dysentery, which is perfect. Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus) and Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix) are essential herbs.
For Jin Kou Li (Jammed-Mouth Dysentery) where the patient cannot eat, Shi Lian San (Lotus Seed Powder) is the primary formula; Xiang Fu San (Fragrant Meat Powder) is also applicable. For cold dysentery resembling bean curd dregs with abdominal pain, Wei Feng Tang (Stomach Wind Decoction) is the primary formula. For spleen toxin dysentery with internal heat, take Xiang Lian Wan (Fragrant Coptis Pill), Huang Lian Xiang Ru San (Coptis and Elsholtzia Powder), Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction) without Gui Zhi, Mao Hua Tang (Thatch Flower Decoction), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus), Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) and other agents. First, provide detoxification and fever reduction, then promote appetite and digestion, separate fluids from grain, widen the intestines, and relieve pain. Use Shui Jin Dan (Water-Soaked Pill), Ju Fang Bai Du San (Bureau Formula Detoxification Powder), Di Yu Yin (Sanguisorba Decoction), and Kuan Chang Zhi Qiao San (Intestine-Widening Aurantium Powder). For heat with persistent diarrhea, San Huang Shu Ai Tang (Three Yellows Prepared Mugwort Decoction) is the primary formula. For stagnation and blockage, Shen Xiong Wan (Divine Ligusticum Pill) can also be used. For severe heat with restlessness, Huang Lian Jie Du Tang (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxicity) resolves it; Po Huo San (Fire-Sprinkling Powder) is also effective.
