凡是儿童患疮疹、水痘、麻疹、蚊丁火等病,各家说法或有异同。大体而言,此症发于五脏:肺表现为水疱,肝表现为脓疱,心表现为血疱,脾表现为黄疱,肾表现为黑疱。小儿不论长幼,若出黑疱且凹陷者,最为凶险恶候。或因风吹,或因触毒,皮下隐隐而出但不透发,名为“黑陷子”,死者很多。这大多是因为服药有误,寒凉冰伏于内,导致毒邪不能发出,危害甚重。凡疮疹之疾,症状有多种端绪。在欲发出的时候,有的发热,有的不发热;有的惊厥抽搐,有的狂躁;有的叫哭,有的烦躁,有的自汗,有的谵语,有的呵欠,有的郁闷,有的神昏,有的呕吐。这都是因为所发于五脏的虚实不同所致。有人说耳鼻脚梢中指冷是验证,但反复研究后,有时对有时不对。如今得到至要妙诀:凡小儿发热,如有伤寒证候,在疑惑之间不敢直接断言时,只要看耳后有红脉赤缕,定是疮疹证候,更无可疑。如果发作惊厥,不可用泻下药;有热不可强行退热;有汗不可强行止汗;想吐不可强行止吐。只需顺应其表,温暖其中,自然就会发出。有的说初起和末期都不可用下法,有的说初起和末期都可以用下法,众人对此怀疑认为非议。我说这两家说法都有道理。如果小儿气血充实,宜轻微攻下,以防产生烦躁;如果气血虚弱,则绝对不可攻下,恐腹泻导致脱证。如欲通利攻下,即用消毒饮子、七宝洗心散或四顺清凉饮,一二服以通畅为度。切不可使用真珠丸及含有巴豆、铅粉之类的药物,都应禁止。如果有热烦躁,用顺大连翘饮加紫草茸,功效显著,但需减去黄芩。现今的人一见疮疹已出或未出,便给予升麻葛根汤,该药性颇寒,只宜少量服用。如果用药不当,往往是用量过大,反而损伤其表。凡服用葛根汤,宜加白芍药、糯米、人参、紫草茸、川当归,功效甚好。

Regarding various pediatric exanthematous diseases such as Chuangzhen (Erythema/Exanthem), Shuidou (Chickenpox), Mazizi (Measles), Wendinghuo, etc., theories from different schools may vary. Generally, these manifestations originate from the Five Zang Organs: Lung manifests as fluid-filled blisters; Liver as pus; Heart as blood; Spleen as yellow discharge; Kidney as black discoloration. Regardless of age, if black spots appear and sink inward, it is the most malignant prognosis. This may be due to wind exposure or toxin contact, where the rash emerges faintly under the skin but fails to fully erupt, termed "Black Sunken Spots," often resulting in death. This is largely due to erroneous medication causing coldness to freeze internally, preventing toxin expulsion, causing severe harm.
The symptoms of exanthematous diseases are manifold. During the eruption phase, some present with fever, others without; some have convulsions, others mania; some cry out, others are irritable; some sweat spontaneously, others speak deliriously; some yawn, others feel depressed; some suffer from coma, others vomit. These differences arise from the excess or deficiency patterns in the respective Zang organs. Some claim that coldness in the ears, nose, toes, and middle fingers serves as a diagnostic sign, but repeated investigation shows this is inconsistent.
Now, a crucial secret method is revealed: If a child has fever resembling Taiyang disease (Shanghan), and diagnosis is uncertain, observe the area behind the ear. If red veins and crimson threads are present, it is definitively an exanthematous condition, leaving no doubt.
* If convulsions occur, do not use purgatives.
* If heat exists, do not forcibly reduce fever.
* If sweating occurs, do not forcibly stop sweat.
* If vomiting occurs, do not forcibly stop vomiting.
Instead, follow the exterior path and warm the interior so that the eruption occurs naturally.
Regarding the use of purgatives: Some say they should never be used at the beginning or end; others say they can be used throughout. Both views have merit.
* If the child's Qi and Blood are substantial, mild purgation may be used to prevent irritability.
* If Qi and Blood are deficient, purgation must absolutely be avoided to prevent collapse from diarrhea.
If purgation is desired, use Xiaodu Yinzi (Toxin-Dispersing Decoction), Qibao Xixin San (Seven-Treasure Heart-Cleansing Powder), or Sishun Qingliang Yin (Four-Smooth Cooling Decoction). One or two doses are sufficient, aiming for unobstructed flow. Absolutely prohibit the use of Zhenzhu Wan (Pearl Pill) or formulas containing Badou (Croton) and Qianfen (Lead Powder).
If there is heat and irritability, use Shunda Dalianqiao Yin (Smooth Great Forsythia Decoction) plus Zicao Rong (Arnebiae Radix seu Cortex), which is highly effective, but reduce Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix). Currently, many physicians administer Shengma Gegen Tang (Cimicifugae et Puerariae Decoction) immediately upon seeing exanthems, whether erupted or not. Since this formula is quite cold, it should only be given in small amounts. Improper use, especially excessive dosage, damages the exterior. When using Gegen Tang, it is beneficial to add Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Nuomi (Glutinous Rice), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Zicao Rong (Arnebiae Radix seu Cortex), and Chuan Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix).
