【万全论述】痘疹出现呕吐和腹泻,是常见的症状。医经说:“各种突发性的呕吐和急剧的水样腹泻,都归属于热证。”这是因为三焦是水谷传化的道路,火热之邪内迫,导致传化功能失常,从而呕吐和腹泻同时发作,这是火性燥动、迅猛的缘故。如果邪气在上焦,只呕吐而不腹泻;邪气在下焦,只腹泻而不呕吐;邪气在中焦,则上吐下泻。另外,里气上逆而不能下行就会呕吐,气向下走而不能上升就会腹泻。痘疹在刚开始发热时如果出现呕吐和腹泻,不可立即强行止住,要让邪气有上下排出的途径;只有当呕吐和腹泻长时间不止时,才可以进行治疗,此时更应仔细斟酌病情。
【薛己论述】《痘疹方》中说:痘疹的呕吐和腹泻,大概是因为脾胃不和,饮食不调引起的,出现烦渴、呕吐、泄泻等症状,都用白术散(若口渴)治疗。然而痘疹的生长都依赖脾土,脾土充实,则痘疹容易发出且容易结痂愈合,就像万物依靠土壤的温暖气息生长一样;呕吐和腹泻会损伤脾土,于是产生变证。夏季中暑导致的烦渴,或伴有腹痛、筋脉拘急的腹泻,用五苓散(惊风加味)配合藿香。伤食引起的呕吐和腹泻,用小异功散(针对吐泻)。手足发冷的,用益黄散(补脾)、豆蔻丸(治疗泄利)。痘顶凹陷、颜色灰白的,用木香散(针对口渴)。痘疹正在发出时出现呕吐和腹泻,或者见血的,都属于逆证,难以治疗。我认为上述病症虽然因脾胃不和引起,但如果邪实于上焦,则宜用吐法;邪实于下焦,则宜用泻法。如呕吐物带有腐臭味、吞酸等,都适宜宣发透达,只是程度轻重不同罢了。张翼之说:如果痘疹呕吐腹泻、食欲减少属于里虚,痘陷伏倒靥、颜色灰白属于表虚,两者同时出现,属于表里俱虚,合用十二味异功散来救治(见于见形期),严重时甚至可以用姜、附子、灵砂。如果只是里虚,去掉官桂;如果只是表虚,减少肉豆蔻用量。如果能进食但便秘、痘陷属于里实,不要进补,应当采用钱乙及朱丹溪的方法攻下,这都是因为能进食代表里实,里实证如果误补则会结成痈毒。痘色红活绽凸属于表实,表实证如果误补则会溃烂不结痂。凡是痘疹刚出现,就忌讳使用葛根汤,恐怕会因发表而致虚,如果有变证,应当随证治疗。
【张氏论述】呕吐和腹泻有冷、热两种证型。呕吐但不口渴,腹泻且手足冰冷,面色青白,这是冷证,主治用益黄散(补脾)、理中汤之类,或者四君子汤加木香、豆蔻也很好。既呕吐又口渴,虽然腹泻但手心发热,面赤,喜欢居住在凉爽的地方,这是热证,主治用五苓散(惊风加味)、竹叶石膏汤(痘疹口渴)加橘皮等。剧烈呕吐且身体发热、烦渴,腹部胀满而喘,大小便涩滞,面赤、胸闷烦躁,钱乙说这应当通利小便,如果不愈,用宣风散(痘疹发热)攻下。《百问方》用香苏饮,呕吐加半夏、茯苓、白芍;腹泻加白术、茯苓。烦躁、呕吐、口渴、腹泻的,也是热证,白术散(口渴)最为恰当,紫草木香汤也可以。
理中汤
人参、白术、干姜、白茯苓、甘草节(各等分)

人参、藿香、紫苏、甘草(炒)、丁香、茯苓、木瓜(各等分),糯米

刚开始发热,自利而呕吐的,主治用黄芩加半夏汤。再详细审察呕吐和腹泻所出的物质,如吐酸水的,泻下颜色黄或青绿的,气味臭秽的,都是热证。如果吐出清稀痰水,泻下清白且不臭,不可当作热证治疗,这是内虚,用四君子汤加诃子肉及益黄散(补脾)。另一说法:痘欲出未出而出现吐利的,是中焦停寒,或夹杂宿食,用四君子汤加砂仁、橘红,或中和散;有宿食的,用紫霜丸(癖积)。发热时吐泻不止,身体发热口渴的,用四苓散加黄连、淡竹叶煎服(即五苓散去桂枝)。
黄芩加半夏汤
黄芩(一钱半)、甘草(炙,一钱)、白芍药(酒拌晒九次,三钱)、半夏(汤泡七次,二钱)、生姜(一钱)、大枣(二枚)

中和散 治疗中焦停寒,或夹宿食。
浓朴(一钱)、白术(八分)、干姜(四分)、甘草(三分)
以上锉细。作一服,加生姜一片,水煎,稍热服。
起胀灌脓时吐利同时发作,应当紧急治疗,胃寒的用益黄散、理中汤,胃热的用黄芩半夏汤调服四苓散。
结痂后吐泻,也分冷、热,冷证的也用益黄散、理中汤之类,热证的用四苓散、竹叶石膏汤(痘疹口渴)加橘皮,或者竹茹汤也可以。
竹茹汤
橘红、半夏、白茯苓、黄连(姜炒,各一钱)、甘草(五分)、竹茹(一团)、葛根(一钱五分)
以上切碎,用水一钟,生姜三片,煎至五分,不拘时候温服,分两帖。
和中汤 治疗虚性呕吐不止。即镇胃止吐汤加人参。
人参、茯苓、甘草(各五分)、白术、半夏(各八分)、陈皮、藿香、砂仁(各一钱)
以上用生姜水煎服。
藿香正气散 治疗初热干呕。
藿香、紫苏、大腹皮、陈皮、桔梗、甘草、茯苓、半夏、浓朴、白芷
以上用姜枣煎服。
凡是疮痘已经经历大吐大泻之后,上下元气皆脱,就应当用大补的药剂,纵然有其他证候,都按虚证论治,庸医往往不顾人的元气,用药克削攻伐,而导致夭折枉死的,比比皆是,令人痛恨!
[Wan Quan's Discussion] Vomiting and diarrhea appearing during smallpox or chickenpox are common symptoms. The medical classics state: "Various sudden vomiting and acute watery diarrhea all belong to heat syndromes." This is because the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is the pathway for the transmission and transformation of food and fluids; when pathogenic fire forces inward, it disrupts this transformation, causing simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea. This occurs due to the dry, agitated, and rapid nature of fire. If the pathogen is in the Upper Jiao, there is only vomiting without diarrhea; if in the Lower Jiao, only diarrhea without vomiting; if in the Middle Jiao, both upper vomiting and lower diarrhea occur. Furthermore, if internal Qi rebels upward and fails to descend, vomiting results; if Qi moves downward and fails to ascend, diarrhea results. When vomiting and diarrhea appear during the initial fever stage of rash diseases, they should not be abruptly stopped, so that pathogens may exit through the upper and lower pathways. Treatment should only commence if vomiting and diarrhea persist for a long time, requiring careful assessment of the condition.
[Xue Ji's Discussion] The *Douzhen Fang* (Smallpox and Chickenpox Formulas) states: Vomiting and diarrhea in rash diseases are generally caused by disharmony of the Spleen and Stomach and irregular diet, leading to irritability, thirst, vomiting, and diarrhea. Bai Zhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) should be used for these symptoms (add for thirst). However, the growth of rashes relies on the Earth element of the Spleen; when Spleen Earth is solid, rashes emerge and crust over easily, just as all things grow relying on the warmth of the soil. Vomiting and diarrhea damage Spleen Earth, leading to complicated changes. For summerheat stroke causing irritability and thirst, or diarrhea with abdominal pain or tendon twitching, use Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) (add for convulsions) combined with Huo Xiang (Patchouli). For vomiting and diarrhea due to food stagnation, use Xiao Yi Gong San (Minor Yi Gong Decoction) (for vomiting/diarrhea). For cold hands and feet, use Yi Huang San (Yellow Protecting Powder) (tonify Spleen) and Dou Kou Wan (Cardamom Pill) (for diarrhea). For depressed rash tops with grayish-white color, use Mu Xiang San (Costus Root Powder) (for thirst). If vomiting and diarrhea occur while the rash is erupting, or if bleeding is seen, these are adverse signs and are difficult to treat. I believe that although these conditions arise from Spleen-Stomach disharmony, if excess pathogen is in the Upper Jiao, emesis is indicated; if in the Lower Jiao, purgation is indicated. For symptoms like vomiting foul-smelling matter or acid regurgitation, dispersing and venting methods are appropriate, differing only in degree. Zhang Yizhi stated: If smallpox vomiting/diarrhea with reduced appetite indicates Interior Deficiency, and depressed/inverted crusts with grayish-white color indicate Exterior Deficiency, their simultaneous occurrence signifies both Exterior and Interior Deficiency, requiring Shier Wei Yi Gong San (Twelve-Ingredient Yi Gong Decoction) for rescue (seen in the eruption phase); in severe cases, Ginger, Aconite, and Lingsha may even be used. If only Interior Deficiency exists, remove Gu Gui (Cassia Bark); if only Exterior Deficiency exists, reduce the dosage of Rou Dou Kou (Nutmeg). If the patient can eat but has constipation and inverted crusts, this is Interior Excess; do not tonify, but instead use the purgative methods of Qian Yi and Zhu Danxi. This is because the ability to eat indicates Interior Excess; tonifying an Excess condition leads to carbuncles and toxins. Red, vibrant, and protruding rashes indicate Exterior Excess; tonifying an Excess condition leads to ulceration without crusting. Whenever rashes first appear, Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) is contraindicated, fearing it may cause deficiency through excessive releasing; if complications arise, treat according to the syndrome.
[Zhang's Discussion] Vomiting and diarrhea present as Cold or Heat syndromes. Vomiting without thirst, diarrhea with cold hands and feet, and a bluish-white complexion indicate a Cold syndrome, treated primarily with Yi Huang San (tonify Spleen) or Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction), or Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with Mu Xiang and Dou Kou. Vomiting accompanied by thirst, diarrhea with hot palms, red face, and preference for cool environments indicate a Heat syndrome, treated primarily with Wu Ling San (add for convulsions) or Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) (for smallpox thirst) added with Ju Pi (Tangerine Peel). Severe vomiting with body heat and irritability/thirst, abdominal fullness with wheezing, obstructed urination and defecation, red face, and mental confusion: Qian Yi stated this requires promoting urination; if ineffective, use Xuan Feng San (Disperse Wind Powder) (for smallpox fever) to purge. The *Baiwen Fang* uses Xiang Su Yin (Costus and Perilla Infusion); add Ban Xia, Fu Ling, and Bai Shao for vomiting; add Bai Zhu and Fu Ling for diarrhea. Irritability, vomiting, thirst, and diarrhea also indicate Heat; Bai Zhu San (for thirst) is most suitable, and Zi Cao Mu Xiang Tang (Arnebia and Costus Decoction) is also acceptable.
Li Zhong Tang
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Bai Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao Jie (Licorice Node) (equal parts).
Crush into pieces. Decoct one cup of water until reduced to half, take at any time. If aversion to cold is present, add Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), named Fuzi Lizhong Tang. Each dose is two qian and a half.
Xiang Su Yin Treats pediatric smallpox diarrhea.
Xiang Fu Zi (Cyperi Rhizoma), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Zi Su (Perillae Folium), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) (equal parts).
Grind into powder. Take three qian per dose, decoct with fresh ginger and scallion white, or plain water. Add Bai Zhu and Fu Ling for diarrhea; add Fu Ling and Bai Shao Yao for vomiting.

Crush, take three qian per dose, decoct with ginger and jujube water.
During initial fever, if spontaneous diarrhea and vomiting occur, Huang Qin Jia Ban Xia Tang (Scutellaria Decoction with Pinellia) is primary. Carefully examine the vomitus and stool: sour vomit, yellow or greenish-blue stool, and foul odor all indicate Heat. If clear phlegm-water is vomited, and stool is clear/white and odorless, do not treat as Heat; this is Internal Deficiency, treat with Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with He Zi Rou (Terminalia Chebula Retocarpus) and Yi Huang San (tonify Spleen). Another view: Vomiting and diarrhea before rash eruption indicate Cold retention in the Middle Jiao or retained food, treat with Si Jun Zi Tang added with Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus) and Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), or Zhong He San; for retained food, use Zi Shuang Wan (Purple Frost Pill) (for masses). During fever, if vomiting/diarrhea persists with body heat and thirst, use Si Ling San (Four-Poria Powder) added with Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) and Dan Zhu Ye (Lophatheri Herba) (this is Wu Ling San minus Gui Zhi).
Huang Qin Jia Ban Xia Tang
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, 1.5 qian), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, 1 qian), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, wine-mixed and sun-dried nine times, 3 qian), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber, boiled seven times, 2 qian), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 1 qian), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus, 2 pieces).
Cut finely. Decoct one cup of water until reduced to seventy percent, take warm. For thirst, remove Ban Xia, add Pi Pa Ye (Loquat Leaf, de-haired and fried, 2 qian), Lu Gen (Phragmitis Rhizoma), and Mao Gen (Imperatae Rhizoma, 3 qian each).
Zhong He San Treats Cold retention in the Middle Jiao or mixed with retained food.

Cut finely. One dose, add one slice of fresh ginger, decoct in water, take slightly warm.
When swelling and pus formation occur, if vomiting and diarrhea happen simultaneously, urgent treatment is needed. For Stomach Cold, use Yi Huang San or Li Zhong Tang; for Stomach Heat, use Huang Qin Ban Xia Tang blended with Si Ling San.
After crusting, vomiting and diarrhea are also divided into Cold and Heat. Cold types use Yi Huang San or Li Zhong Tang; Heat types use Si Ling San or Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang (for smallpox thirst) added with Ju Pi, or Zhu Ru Tang (Bamboo Shavings Decoction) is also acceptable.
Zhu Ru Tang
Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber), Bai Fu Ling (Poria), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, ginger-fried, 1 qian each), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, 5 fen), Zhu Ru (Bambusa Textilis Caulis, one ball), Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 1.5 qian).

Decoct in water with fresh ginger.
Huo Xiang Zheng Qi San Treats dry retching during initial heat.
Huo Xiang (Agastaches Herba), Zi Su (Perillae Folium), Da Fu Pi (Arecae Pericarpium), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber), Nou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix).
Decoct with ginger and jujube.
Whenever sores or smallpox have undergone severe vomiting and diarrhea, with depletion of Qi above and below, large tonifying agents must be used immediately. Even if other syndromes exist, they should all be discussed as deficiency. Quack doctors often disregard the patient's Yuan Qi (Original Qi), using harsh draining medicines, leading to premature death, which is abundant and detestable!
