寒战，是指身体感觉寒冷且剧烈颤抖摇动的症状。切牙，是指上下牙齿相互摩擦并发出声响的症状。医经中说：凡是风邪引起的肢体震颤动摇，都归属于肝木系统。寒战并伴有剧烈摇动，是风邪盛的表现，火气冲逆导致物体震动也是同样的道理。钱乙（钱氏）说：肝主风，肝虚时会出现切牙和频繁打哈欠的症状。他又说：眼睛上窜并伴有切牙，是心热的表现。既然这样，那么寒战和切牙主要由心和肝两脏引起。有人将寒战归因于气虚，将切牙归因于血虚；或者认为切牙是因为牙齿枯槁，是由于津液不足所致，这些都是没有理解上述病机的错误观点。痘疮病症中令人担忧的是出现寒战和切牙，有时单独出现其中一种症状，有时两种同时出现。如果痘疮已经坏败，再加上气喘急促、神志昏乱的症状，患者将在不久后死亡。凡是患痘疮的人，如果痘疮原本就稠密，在翻身转动之间，身体发生振摇，这是因为全身被痘毒所困，正气无法支撑，导致转动艰难，这种情况不能简单地当作寒战来处理，也不能盲目投用热性药物。有的只出现切牙症状，这是心和肝两经火旺所致。因为肝虚会导致切牙，心热也会导致切牙，不要轻易将其判定为不治之症。
如果在痘疮刚发出时就出现寒战，这是邪气将要外透，与人体正气相争，所以身体振摇，这是火的征象，待痘疮发出后症状就会平息，主治方剂为柴葛桂枝汤。如果痘疮已经发出，或者已经形成脓浆但仍出现寒战，这是表气虚弱，不能抵御旺盛的邪气，主治方剂为养卫化毒汤。如果痘疮原本稠密，发作时肿痛，经脉动摇，时时振动，这不能称为寒战，应等待脓成痛消后自然缓解。在痘疮结痂脱落的时候，如果痂皮圆润洁净，只是偶尔出现战栗，这是正气即将恢复但尚不能自我维持的征兆，不必担忧怀疑，片刻之后自然会安定。如果有筋惕肉瞤（肌肉跳动）的症状，是因为经络中的血液被痘毒耗损，不能荣养肌肉、主持筋脉，所以手足不由自主地跳动，皮肤肌肉自动抽动，这不能称为寒战，只需调养气血，主治方剂为十全大补汤（若兼有汗出者适用）。薛己记载：一个十四岁的男孩，痘疮即将痊愈时，突然寒战，手足冰冷，脉象微细且寸口脉搏不明显。这是脾气虚热所致。使用五味异功散、独参汤、十全大补汤治疗后痊愈。一位妇女，痘疮痊愈后出现寒战，脉象浮大，重按则微细。这是气血虚弱所致，服用三十多剂十全大补汤后痊愈。后来因劳累，出现寒热往来，发冷时手足像水一样凉，发热时手足像被火烤一样热，脉象浮大，重按则细。这是阳气极度虚弱所致，早晨服用补中益气汤加桂枝、附子各一钱，晚上服用八味丸料加倍加入桂枝、附子，各服用五十多剂后病情稳定。
柴葛桂枝汤
组成：柴胡、葛根、甘草、桂枝、防风、人参、白芍药（以上药材各等分）。
制法用法：将药材切碎。加入生姜三片，水一碗，煎至七分，去渣，温服，不限时间。
养卫化毒汤
组成：人参、黄芪（炙）、桂枝、甘草、当归。
制法用法：加水煎服。
初虞世说：怕冷困倦，或出现寒战，能使痘疹内缩伏陷，适宜使用陈文中的异功散（方剂见“见形证治出不快”条）。娄氏说：曾经治疗痘疮寒战，使用白术、[缺字]、当归加黄芩治疗而痊愈。
〔袁氏〕独附汤：治疗寒战。
组成：大附子（五钱，用面粉包裹煨熟）。
制法用法：用水一杯，灯心草七根，煎服。
上方中加入人参二钱、肉桂五分、黄芪二钱、橘红一钱、甘草五分、当归一钱，则成为附子振阴汤，是治疗寒战切牙的特效方，但若痘疮呈紫黑色焦枯伏陷者禁用。
切牙伴打哈欠，属于肝虚。肝属木，其旺于寅时，寅时为相火当令，火盗取木之气，所以肝虚的症状显现出来。阳气牵引向上，阴气牵引向下，则张口打哈欠。阳上极而下引，阴下极而上引，则闭口咬合牙齿。主治方剂为十全大补汤。如果在发热初期就出现切牙，这与瘙痒塌陷、呕吐腹泻、脾胃虚弱的情况不同，必须审察形体症状分别治疗。如果频繁打哈欠、切牙且突然感到闷乱，属于肝藏风热，主治方剂为羌活汤（用于痘疮发热）。眼睛上窜并切牙，属于心脏热，主治方剂为导赤散（清心火）。不可妄用陈文中辛热性质的药物。眼睛上窜并切牙，属于心热。所有疮疡都属于心火，眼睛上窜是火炎向上的征象，切牙是火气动摇的征象，主治方剂为导赤散加酒炒黄连、牛蒡子。切牙兼见面部发红、口渴，夜间加重，适宜用地黄丸。薛己记载：一个小孩痘疮切牙，面色发黄，想喝水。这是阳气虚弱所致。使用五味异功散加木香治疗后痊愈。后来仍然切牙，面部发红、口渴，夜间加重。这是脾肾阴虚所致。使用地黄丸、大补汤治疗后痊愈。一个小孩切牙、口渴，面色忽白忽红，脉象洪数，重按无力，左关尺脉尤为明显。这属于肾虚。使用地黄丸、补中益气汤寻得痊愈。后来因受惊，面色青，眼睛红，打哈欠切牙，手抓衣领。这属于肝经虚热。使用加减八味丸料煎汤让其随意饮用，顿时安宁，又服用补中益气汤而痊愈。一个小孩切牙，口渴喜冷饮，大便轻微秘结，寒战，痘色红，多在身体侧面。这属于胆经虚热。使用小柴胡汤、柴胡麦门散各一剂，又使用加味四物汤而痊愈。
清神化毒汤：治疗心肝火旺，牙齿相互摩擦作响。
组成：升麻、生地黄、木通、甘草、防风、麦门冬。
制法用法：加水煎服。
人参蝉蜕散：治疗切牙、气喘胸闷、烦躁口渴（方剂见“痘烦躁”条）。
如果寒战、切牙同时出现，则少阴经专门主管此证，需观察痘疮的根本情况。如果痘疮原本溃烂，出现寒战切牙，这是手少阴心火所致。医经说：热胜则肉腐。寒战切牙，是火气动摇的征象。如果痘疮原本焦黑，出现寒战切牙，这是足少阴肾水所致。肾色黑，是主蛰封藏的根本，干枯黑色的真脏色显露。肾气寒，在变动方面表现为战栗，寒战是肾的本病。肾主骨，牙齿是骨的余绪，寒战时下巴鼓动而两牙相轧，切牙是肾寒所引发的。这两种证候，在心热则清热，在肾寒则温阳，如果病已坏败，治疗还有什么益处？或者因为阳气亏损，出现切牙寒战的，独参汤、参附汤效果很好。如果血气不荣，不能结痂，兼有闷乱不安，躺下时呼吸有声，泄泻寒战切牙的，陈氏异功散（见“见形出不快”条）加木香、当归来救治。钱乙的方法，对于寒战切牙且痘疮黑陷的，用百祥丸攻下（方剂见“黑陷”条）。薛己记载：前述证候，如果手足俱冷，口渴想喝热汤，大便泄泻，这是阳气虚寒，宜用热补法。手足不冷，大便不通，口渴想喝温水，这是脾气虚热，宜用调补法。手足不热，大便不通，口渴想喝热汤，这是脾胃虚弱，宜用温补法。一个小孩出痘，寒战切牙，四肢疲倦蜷缩，大便自利，手足俱冷，喜欢喝热汤。这是阳气虚寒。使用十二味异功散末二钱，诸证顿时消退，又用人参白术散、参四圣散而结痂。一个十四岁的小孩，面色忽红忽黑，出痘寒战切牙，口渴烦热，喜欢喝热汤。这是阳气虚寒。使用十全大补汤散剂，烦渴顿时停止，于是用八珍汤加倍加入人参、黄芪。到脓液灌注阶段，又出现口渴面赤，这是脓成而血气虚弱，使用当归补血汤、八珍汤而结痂。到一个多月后，面赤烦渴，时而昏愦，痘痕如赭石色，时而瘙痒，脉象洪大，重按若无。这是血脱，使用大剂量当归补血汤而安定。一个小孩脓液不灌注，兼有寒战切牙，腹胀。属于脾胃虚弱。使用四君子汤、肉桂、当归、黄芪、肉豆蔻，又使用参四圣汤而痊愈，后用托里散、四君子汤而结痂。一个小孩瘙痒塌陷，寒战切牙，喜欢喝温水，手足不热。属于阳气虚弱。使用参四圣散，诸证已退，使用参四托里散，其浆液逐渐灌注，使用十全大补汤，其痂皮顿时结痂。一个产妇出痘，寒战切牙，腹胀口渴，脚冷身热。这是脾胃内虚寒外假热，使用大补汤加桂枝、附子三四剂，去掉附子，换用干姜二三剂，仍使用参四圣散并五味异功散加当归、黄芪治疗而痊愈。
许多书籍大多将寒战切牙并列，视为不治之症，然而如果能善于治疗，多有存活者。这是因为热毒不能完全发散，在内与正气相搏，导致筋脉因此动摇。人的一身，只有手足能运动，口能开阖，这都是虚弱的部位，在正邪相搏之际，所以手足战摇，而口齿相互摩擦。
无忧散：治疗临危痘证，寒战切牙。

Chanzhan (Shivering with cold) refers to the symptom where the body feels cold and trembles violently. Qieya (Teeth grinding/clenching) refers to the symptom where the upper and lower teeth rub against each other, producing a sound. The classics state: All tremors and shaking caused by wind pathogen belong to the Liver Wood system. Chanzhan accompanied by violent shaking is a manifestation of excessive Wind; similarly, the agitation of objects caused by surging Fire Qi follows the same principle. Qian Yi stated: The Liver governs Wind; deficiency of the Liver leads to teeth clenching and frequent yawning. He also stated: Eyes rolling upward accompanied by teeth clenching indicates Heart Heat. Therefore, Chanzhan and Qieya are primarily governed by the Heart and Liver organs. Some attribute Chanzhan to Qi deficiency and Qieya to Blood deficiency; or they consider Qieya as due to withered teeth caused by insufficient Body Fluids. These views fail to understand the underlying pathology. In smallpox, the feared symptoms are Chanzhan and Qieya. They may appear singly or simultaneously. If the rash has deteriorated and is accompanied by panting, distress, and confusion, death is imminent. For patients with smallpox, if the rash is originally dense, and the body shakes during turning movements, this is because the whole body is constrained by the toxin, and the righteous Qi cannot support it, making movement difficult. This should not be simply diagnosed as Chanzhan, nor should hot-natured medicines be blindly administered. Cases presenting only with Qieya are due to excessive Fire in the Heart and Liver meridians. Since Liver deficiency causes Qieya and Heart Heat also causes Qieya, one should not hastily conclude it is an incurable condition.
If Chanzhan occurs when the smallpox rash first emerges, it indicates that the pathogenic factor is attempting to exit and is contending with the righteous Qi, causing trembling. This is a sign of Fire. The symptoms will subside once the rash erupts. The primary formula is Chaige Guizhi Tang. If Chanzhan persists after the rash has emerged or even when pustules have formed, it indicates deficiency of the Exterior Qi, which cannot withstand the excess pathogen. The primary formula is Yangwei Huadu Tang. If the rash was originally dense, accompanied by swelling, pain, meridian instability, and constant trembling, this is not Chanzhan; one should wait for suppuration and pain resolution for natural relief. During the scabbing stage, if the scabs are round and clean but occasional shivering occurs, this is a sign that the righteous Qi is recovering but lacks self-control; there is no need to worry, as it will settle shortly. Symptoms of Jin Ti Rou Dong (muscle twitching/fasciculation) occur because the blood in the meridians is depleted by the toxin, failing to nourish muscles and tendons, causing involuntary jumping of the limbs and automatic twitching of the skin and flesh. This is not Chanzhan; treatment should focus on nourishing Qi and Blood using Shiquan Dabu Tang (applicable if sweating is present). Xue Ji recorded a case of a 14-year-old boy whose smallpox was nearly cured when he suddenly experienced Chanzhan and cold extremities, with a faint, thin pulse below the cun position. This was attributed to Spleen Qi deficiency with heat. He recovered after using Wuwei Yigong San, Dushen Tang, and Shiquan Dabu Tang. A woman experienced Chanzhan after recovery from smallpox; her pulse was floating and large but faint upon deep pressure, indicating Qi and Blood deficiency. She recovered after taking over thirty doses of Shiquan Dabu Tang. Later, due to overwork, she experienced alternating chills and fever; her hands and feet were cold as water during chills and hot as fire during fever, with a floating, large pulse that became thin upon deep pressure. This indicated severe Yang Qi deficiency. She took Buzhong Yiqi Tang with Guizhi and Fuzi (each 1 qian) in the morning, and Bawei Wan formulation with doubled Guizhi and Fuzi in the evening, taking over fifty doses of each until stabilized.
Chaige Guizhi Tang
Ingredients: Chaihu, Gegen, Gancao, Guizhi, Fangfeng, Renshen, Baishao (all in equal proportions).
Preparation: Coarsely crush. Add three slices of Shengjiang, one cup of water, decoct to seven-tenths volume, strain, and take warm at any time.
Yangwei Huadu Tang
Ingredients: Renshen, Huangqi (roasted), Guizhi, Gancao, Danggui.
Preparation: Decoct in water and take.
Chu Yushi stated: Chills, fatigue, or Chanzhan can cause the smallpox rash to retract and hide. Chen Zhongwen's Yigong San is suitable (see "Appearance Phase Treatment for Slow Eruption" section). Lou Shi stated: He treated Chanzhan in smallpox using Baizhu, [missing character], Danggui, and Huangqin, resulting in a cure.
[Yuan Shi] Dufu Tang: Treats Chanzhan.
Ingredient: Dafu Zi (5 qian, wrapped in flour and roasted).
Preparation: Use one cup of water, seven roots of Dengcao, decoct and take.
Adding Renshen (2 qian), Rougui (0.5 qian), Huangqi (2 qian), Juhong (1 qian), Gancao (0.5 qian), and Danggui (1 qian) to the above formula creates Fuzi Zhenyin Tang, a highly effective formula for Chanzhan and Qieya, but contraindicated for purple-black scorched/retracted rashes.
Qieya accompanied by yawning indicates Liver deficiency. The Liver belongs to Wood and prospers at Yin hour; Yin is associated with Ministerial Fire. Fire stealing Wood's Qi manifests Liver deficiency symptoms. Yang pulls upward, Yin pulls downward, leading to opening and yawning. When Yang reaches its peak and descends, and Yin reaches its peak and ascends, the mouth closes and teeth grind. Shiquan Dabu Tang is the primary formula. If Qieya occurs at the onset of fever, it differs from cases of itching, collapse, vomiting, diarrhea, and weak Spleen/Stomach; morphology and symptoms must be assessed for differentiated treatment. Frequent yawning, Qieya, and sudden oppression indicate Liver storing Wind-Heat; Qianghuo Tang (for smallpox fever) is used. Eyes rolling upward with Qieya indicates Heart Heat; Daochi San (clearing Heart) is used. Do not recklessly use Chen's acrid-hot preparations. Eyes rolling upward with Qieya indicates Heart Heat. All sores/blisters relate to Heart Fire; upward rolling is the image of Fire flaming upward; Qieya is the image of Fire Qi agitating. Daochi San plus Jiuhuang Lian and Niubangzi is used. Qieya with red face and thirst, worsening at night, suggests Dihuang Wan. Xue Ji recorded a child with smallpox Qieya, yellow face, and desire to drink. This was Yang Qi deficiency, cured by Wuwei Yigong San plus Muxiang. Later, persistent Qieya, red face, thirst, worsening at night indicated Spleen/Kidney Yin deficiency, cured by Dihuang Wan and Dabu Tang. Another child with Qieya, thirst, fluctuating white/red complexion, rapid/huge pulse, weak upon pressure (especially left Guan/Chi), indicated Kidney deficiency, cured by Dihuang Wan and Buzhong Yiqi Tang. Later, after fright, blue face, red eyes, yawning/Qieya, hand grasping collar indicated Liver Meridian deficiency-heat. Jiajian Bawei Wan decoction allowed free drinking brought immediate relief, followed by Buzhong Yiqi Tang for full recovery. A child with Qieya, thirst for cold drinks, slight constipation, chills, red rash mostly on the sides indicated Gallbladder Meridian deficiency-heat. Xiaochaihu Tang and Chaihu Maidong San (one dose each) followed by Jiawei Siwu Tang led to recovery.
Qingshen Huadu Tang: Treats Heart/Liver Fire excess causing teeth grinding.
Ingredients: Shengma, Shengdihuang, Mutong, Gancao, Fangfeng, Maidong.
Preparation: Decoct in water and take.
Renshen Chantui San: Treats Qieya, asthma/fullness, irritability, thirst (see "Smallpox Irritability").
[Qian Shi] Baishen Wan: Excellent for treating teeth grinding.
When Chanzhan and Qieya occur together, the Shaoyin channel specifically governs them; observe the root of the rash. If the rash is originally ulcerated with Chanzhan/Qieya, this is Hand Shaoyin Heart Fire. The classics say: Excess heat rots flesh. Chanzhan/Qieya signifies Fire Qi agitation. If the rash is originally black/scorched with Chanzhan/Qieya, this is Foot Shaoyin Kidney Water. Kidney color is black; it is the root of storage and sealing. Dry blackness reveals the true organ color. Kidney Qi cold manifests as trembling (Li); Chanzhan is the Kidney's primary disease. Kidney governs bone; teeth are the surplus of bone. Chanzhan causes jaw quivering and teeth grinding; Qieya is caused by Kidney cold. For these two conditions, clear if Heart Heat, warm if Kidney Cold. If the disease is deteriorated, what benefit is treatment? If Chanzhan/Qieya results from Yang Qi depletion, Dushen Tang and Shenfu Tang are very effective. If Qi/Blood fail to nourish, preventing scabbing, accompanied by oppression/restlessness, gasping when lying down, diarrhea, Chanzhan/Qieya, use Chen's Yigong San (see "Appearance Phase Slow Eruption") plus Muxiang and Danggui to rescue. Qian's method for Chanzhan/Qieya with black depression uses Baixiang Wan to purge (see "Black Depression"). Xue Ji noted: For the above symptoms, if extremities are cold, thirsty for hot drinks, with diarrhea, it is Yang Qi deficiency-cold, requiring hot tonification. If extremities are not cold, constipation, thirsty for warm drinks, it is Spleen Qi deficiency-heat, requiring regulation/tonification. If extremities are not hot, constipation, thirsty for hot drinks, it is Spleen/Stomach weakness, requiring warm tonification. A child with smallpox, Chanzhan/Qieya, limb fatigue/curling, spontaneous diarrhea, cold extremities, preference for hot drinks had Yang Qi deficiency-cold. Twelve-flavor Yigong San powder (2 qian) resolved symptoms quickly, followed by Renshen Baizhu San and Shensi San for scabbing. A 14-year-old with fluctuating red/black complexion, smallpox Chanzhan/Qieya, thirst/fever, preference for hot drinks had Yang Qi deficiency-cold. Shiquan Dabu Tang powder stopped thirst/irritation immediately, then Bazhen Tang with doubled Renshen/Huangqi. At the suppuration stage, renewed thirst/red face indicated blood/Qi deficiency after pus formation; Danggui Buxue Tang and Bazhen Tang led to scabbing. Over a month later, red face/thirst, occasional confusion, ochre-colored scars, itching, huge pulse void upon pressure indicated Blood loss; large dose Danggui Buxue Tang stabilized the patient. A child with non-suppurating rash, Chanzhan/Qieya, abdominal distension had Spleen/Stomach weakness. Sijunzi Tang, Rougui, Danggui, Huangqi, Roudoukou, followed by Shensi San led to recovery, then Tuoli San and Sijunzi Tang for scabbing.

Only the limbs and mouth move/open-close in the human body, representing vulnerable areas. During contention, limbs shake and teeth grind.
