《巢氏病源·小儿利兼渴候》指出:这是水谷痢,津液枯竭,脏腑虚燥所以想喝水。如果小便通畅,痢疾停止,口渴就会缓解。
如果小便涩滞,水液不能通行于小肠,渗入肠胃,口渴也不会停止,痢疾也不会断绝。凡是这种情况,身体都会浮肿,这是因为脾气虚弱,不能制约水湿的缘故。也必然会出现眼痛生翳,因为小儿上焦本来有热,现在又患痢疾,导致下焦虚寒,上焦热气转盛,热气熏蒸肝脏所致。茅先生认为是饮食损伤脾胃所致,先用醒脾散、匀气散调理,一天后,再用调中饮(这三方都适用于不吃奶食的情况),配合夹乳香散(治泻)、龙涎膏(治渴)调理即可痊愈。《千金方》建议单捣冬瓜汁饮用。

*Chishi Bingyuan: Pediatric Diarrhea with Thirst Syndrome* states: This is water-grain diarrhea where body fluids are depleted, causing deficiency and dryness in the fu organs, leading to thirst. If urination is smooth, the diarrhea stops, and thirst ceases.
If urination is obstructed, water cannot flow through the small intestine but seeps into the intestines and stomach, so thirst does not cease, nor does the diarrhea. In such cases, the body swells because the spleen qi is weak and cannot control water retention. There will also be eye pain and cataracts because children naturally have heat in the upper jiao; now with diarrhea, the lower jiao becomes deficient, causing upper jiao heat to intensify and harass the liver. Master Mao believes this is caused by food damaging the spleen and stomach. First regulate with Xingpi San (Awaken Spleen Powder) and Yunqi San (Regulate Qi Powder). After one day, use Tiaozhong Yin (Regulate the Middle Infusion) (all three formulas suitable for refusal to nurse), combined with Jia Ruxiang San (Frankincense-Enhanced Powder for diarrhea) and Longxian Gao (Dragon Saliva Paste for thirst) for regulation until recovery. *Qianjin Fang* suggests crushing fresh winter melon juice and drinking it alone.
