〔薛〕陈文宿先生云∶疮痘涕唾稠粘，身热鼻干，大便如常，小便黄赤，用人参清膈散。如痰实壮热，胸中
烦闷，大便坚实，卧则喘急，用前胡枳壳散。窃谓前证若肺胃实热，气郁痰滞，或大便秘结，小便赤涩，烦渴
饮冷，宜用人参清膈散表散外邪，疏通内热，使邪不壅滞。若毒蕴脏腑，大便秘结，用前胡枳壳散疏导其里，
调和荣卫，使邪自解散。若痰嗽涕唾，鼻塞不利，宜用惺惺散或参苏饮发散外邪，
庶元气不伤，痘疮轻而易愈。
人参清膈散（痘咳嗽） 前胡枳壳汤（痘喘） 惺惺散 参苏饮（俱痘初热）
（参形气条看）
海藏云∶痘疹初出后，声音洪亮，形病而气不病也。痘疹未发，声音不出，形不病而气病也。疮疹既发，声音
不出，形气俱病也。气病宜补肺散加黄 。形气俱病宜用八风汤或凉膈散去硝黄主之。小儿禀赋素弱者，宜预服十奇散。
补肺散
阿胶（一钱半，炒成珠） 牛蒡子（炒，三分） 马兜铃（半钱） 甘草（二分半） 杏仁（三粒，去皮尖）
糯米（一钱，炒） 加生黄 （五分）
上为末，分二服。水一小盏，煎六分，食后，时时与之。
八风散（即八风汤）
藿香（半两，去土） 白芷 前胡（去芦。各一两） 黄 甘草（炙） 人参（各二两） 羌活 防风（各三两）
上为末。每服一钱，用薄荷少许，煎汤调服。
凉膈散（发热） 十奇散（即十宣散见起发）
有心火刑肺而失音者，肺属金主声，中有二十四空，凡发诸语言者，皆其空中之气鼓动也，五行金空则鸣，实则哑，
疮疹之火起于心，上熏于肺，肺气胀郁，故窍塞而无声也，以导赤散（心）合甘桔汤（咽喉）加炒牛蒡子主之，
或用人参平肺散。若津液不足，虚火熏蒸者宜用地黄丸（肾）。
有毒归肾而失声者，经曰∶足之少阴，上系于舌，络于横骨，终于会厌，会厌者，音声之户也，舌者，音声之机也，
横骨者，神气所使，主发舌者也。疮黑陷伏，则毒入肾，邪气上客于厌，则厌不能发，发不能出，开阖不利，故猝哑也。
有喉舌溃烂而失声者，咽喉者，所以司呼吸，纳饮食，发音声，犹管龠也，毒火上熏，咽喉先受，贲门、会厌、舌
之位，皆疮所聚，初出之时，失于调治，以致咽喉肿塞，管龠窄狭，舌本强硬，呼吸不能，饮食不入，音声不
出矣。此上二证，治之则难。
若七日后痘疮成浆之际而失音者，乃气喉有痘，初出细小不觉，及至肌表之痘成浆，喉中之痘亦成浆，其毒
壅盛，则气出管龠窄狭，故所出之声不清，而为咽哑也。大率七日前失音者并为逆证，七日后而有者不治自愈，盖
外痘结痂则喉之痘自痊故也。当用甘桔汤服于已发未发之前，所以清其气道，使毒不犯，此预治之法，不可不知。
若痘疮靥后而失音者，余毒过盛，上攻于咽，以致肿痛干涩，声音不出，宜甘
露饮（咽喉）甘桔防风汤（咽喉）天花散、玄参升麻汤（咽喉）主之。
天花散 治痘疹后失音。
天花粉 桔梗 茯苓 诃子 石菖蒲 甘草（各五钱）
上为极细末。用水调在碗内，小竹七茎，小荆芥七茎，缚作一束，点火就碗内煎，临睡服，每服一钱。
清肺散 治患痘咽干声哑。
麻黄（一钱五分） 麦门冬 桔梗（各二钱） 知母 荆芥 天花粉（各一钱） 诃子 菖蒲（各八分）
上锉。分为二服，入竹沥姜汁，水煎服。
栀子菖蒲汤 治小儿痘证，因热毒生风，喑哑不语。
栀子（一钱三分） 石菖蒲 紫草茸（各一钱二分） 山豆根 生犀 黄连（各一钱一分） 羌活 木
通白僵蚕 杏仁 韭子 鼠粘子（各一钱） 升麻 蝉蜕 薄荷（七分）
上锉散。每服五钱，水煎，食远服。
紫河车散 治小儿痘疮，毒瓦斯不解，上攻咽喉，声音不出，舌颊生疮，遏逆烦闷，潮热面赤。
紫河车（即金线重楼） 茜根 贯众（各三钱） 白芍药 甘草（炙。各五钱）
上，每服三钱，生姜一片，水煎服。一方，有牛蒡子。
噙化丸
薄荷叶（二两） 诃子肉（七钱） 桔梗（一两） 甘草（七钱） 栝蒌皮穣（一两） 白僵蚕（炒，七钱
）风化硝（五钱） 黍粘子（炒，一两）
上，为极细末。炼蜜丸、如芡实大。噙化燕津。儿小不能噙，则调化，频抹其口中。
【薛己按语】陈文宿先生说：痘疮患儿出现鼻涕和唾液粘稠，身体发热，鼻干，大便正常，小便黄赤，应使用人参清膈散。如果痰湿实邪导致高热，胸中烦闷，大便干结坚硬，躺下时气喘急促，应使用前胡枳壳散。我私下认为，上述病症如果是肺胃实热、气机郁滞痰湿阻滞，或者大便秘结，小便赤涩，心烦口渴想喝冷水，适宜用人参清膈散来发散外邪，疏通内热，使邪气不致壅滞。如果是毒邪蕴结在脏腑，大便秘结，应使用前胡枳壳散疏导里实，调和营卫，使邪气自然解散。如果有痰嗽、鼻涕唾液多、鼻塞不通利，适宜用惺惺散或参苏饮发散外邪，这样元气就不会受损，痘疮轻浅而容易痊愈。
人参清膈散（用于痘疮咳嗽） 前胡枳壳汤（用于痘疮喘急） 惺惺散 参苏饮（均用于痘疮初起发热）
（参考“形气”条目）
张元素（海藏）说：痘疹刚发出后，声音洪亮，这是形体有病但正气未病。痘疹尚未发出，声音不出，这是形体无病但正气已病。痘疹已经发出，声音却出不来，这是形与气都病了。正气病适宜用补肺散加黄芪。形气俱病适宜用八风汤或凉膈散去掉硝黄来主治。小儿先天禀赋素来虚弱的，适宜预先服用十奇散。
补肺散
阿胶（一钱半，炒至成珠状） 牛蒡子（炒，三分） 马兜铃（半钱） 甘草（二分半） 杏仁（三粒，去皮尖） 糯米（一钱，炒） 加生黄芪（五分）
以上药物研为细末，分两次服用。用水一小盏，煎至六分，饭后，不时喂服。
八风散（即八风汤）
藿香（半两，去土） 白芷 前胡（去芦头，各一两） 黄芪 甘草（炙） 人参（各二两） 羌活 防风（各三两）
以上药物研为细末。每次服用一钱，用少许薄荷，煎汤调服。
有心火克制肺金而导致失音的，肺属金主声音，肺中有二十四空窍，凡是发出语言声音，都是这些空窍中的气体鼓动所致，五行中金空则鸣响，金实则哑。痘疹之火起于心，向上熏蒸于肺，肺气胀满郁滞，所以窍道闭塞而没有声音，以导赤散（清心）合甘桔汤（利咽喉）加炒牛蒡子为主治，或者用人参平肺散。如果是津液不足，虚火熏蒸导致的，适宜用地黄丸（滋肾）。
有毒素归于肾而导致失声的，医经说：足少阴肾经，上行系于舌根，联络于横骨，终于会厌。会厌，是声音的门户；舌，是声音的机关；横骨，受神气支配，主管发动舌头。痘疮黑陷伏匿，则毒邪入肾，邪气上客于会厌，则会厌不能开合，声音发不出，出来也不能通畅，开阖不利，所以突然失音。
有喉舌溃烂而导致失声的，咽喉，是用来主持呼吸、接纳饮食、发出声音的，就像管龠（乐器）一样。毒火上熏，咽喉先受其害，贲门、会厌、舌的位置，都是痘疮聚集之处。初出之时，如果治疗调理不当，导致咽喉肿塞，管龎狭窄，舌根强硬，呼吸不能，饮食不入，声音出不来了。以上两种证候，治疗起来比较困难。
如果在七日后痘疮进入化浆阶段时出现失音，这是因为气喉部位有痘疮，初出时细小未被察觉，等到肌肤表面的痘疮成浆，喉中的痘疮也成浆，其毒邪壅盛，导致气流通过管龠时通道狭窄，所以发出的声音不清澈，成为咽哑。大体上前七日内失音的都属于逆证，七日后出现的往往不治自愈，因为外部痘疮结痂，喉中的痘疮自然痊愈的缘故。应当在痘疮发出之前服用甘桔汤，以此清理气道，使毒邪不侵犯，这是预防性治疗方法，不可不知道。
如果痘疮收靥（结痂脱落）后出现失音，是因为余毒过盛，向上攻冲于咽喉，导致肿痛干涩，声音不出，适宜用甘露饮（利咽喉）、甘桔防风汤（利咽喉）、天花散、玄参升麻汤（利咽喉）来主治。
天花散 治疗痘疹后失音。
天花粉 桔梗 茯苓 诃子 石菖蒲 甘草（各五钱）

[Commentary by Xue Ji] Mr. Chen Wensu stated: In cases of smallpox where nasal discharge and saliva are thick and sticky, accompanied by fever, dry nose, normal stool, and yellow-red urine, Ren Shen Qing Ge San (Ginseng Decoction to Clear the Diaphragm) should be used. If there is phlegm-heat excess with high fever, chest oppression, hard and dry stool, and wheezing when lying down, Qian Hu Zhi Ke San (Peucedanum and Aurantium Decoction) should be used. I personally believe that if the aforementioned symptoms are due to excess heat in the Lung and Stomach, Qi stagnation with phlegm obstruction, or constipation with red, scanty urine, irritability, and thirst for cold drinks, Ren Shen Qing Ge San is suitable to release exterior pathogens and unblock internal heat, preventing pathogenic stagnation. If toxins are accumulated in the Zang-Fu organs with constipation, Qian Hu Zhi Ke San should be used to drain interior excess and harmonize Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive levels), allowing pathogens to dissipate naturally. If there is cough with phlegm, excessive nasal discharge and saliva, and nasal congestion, Xing Xing San (Wonderful Powder) or Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Drink) should be used to release exterior pathogens, thereby preserving Yuan Qi (Original Qi) so that the smallpox becomes mild and easy to heal.
Ren Shen Qing Ge San (for smallpox cough) | Qian Hu Zhi Ke Tang (for smallpox wheezing) | Xing Xing San | Shen Su Yin (all for early fever stage of smallpox)
(Refer to the "Xing Qi" [Form and Qi] section.)
Zhang Yuansu (Hai Zang) said: After the eruption of measles and smallpox begins, if the voice is loud, it indicates that the physical form is diseased but the Qi is not. Before the eruption, if the voice is absent, it indicates that the physical form is not yet diseased but the Qi is already compromised. After the eruption has begun, if the voice remains absent, it indicates that both Form and Qi are diseased. For Qi disease, Bu Fei San (Lung-Tonifying Powder) with Huang Qi (Astragalus) is indicated. For simultaneous Form and Qi disease, Ba Feng Tang (Eight-Wind Decoction) or Liang Ge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder) without Mang Xiao (Mirabilite) and Da Huang (Rhubarb) should be used. Children with congenital weakness should take Shi Qi San (Ten Miracles Powder) prophylactically.

E Jiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin, 1.5 qian, fried until bead-like) Niu Bang Zi (Arctii Fructus, fried, 3 fen) Ma Dou Ling (Aristolochiae Fructus, 0.5 qian) Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 2.5 fen) Xing Ren (Prunus Seed, 3 grains, skin and tip removed) Nu Mi (Glutinous Rice, 1 qian, fried) plus Sheng Huang Qi (Raw Astragalus Root, 5 fen).
Grind all ingredients into fine powder. Divide into two doses. Boil one small cup of water until reduced to 60%, and administer frequently after meals.

Grind into fine powder. Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with a little Bo He (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) decoction.
Liang Ge San (for fever) | Shi Qi San (i.e., Shi Xuan San, see "Qi Fa" [Eruption] section)
Loss of voice caused by Heart Fire insulting the Lung: The Lung belongs to Metal and governs sound. It contains twenty-four hollow spaces; speech and sound are produced by the vibration of Qi within these spaces. In Five Elements theory, Metal sounds when hollow but is mute when solid. Smallpox fire originates in the Heart and steams upward to the Lung, causing Lung Qi to become distended and stagnant, thus blocking the orifices and resulting in silence. Treat with Dao Chi San (Drain the Red Powder [for Heart]) combined with Gan Jie Tang (Licorice and Platycodon Decoction [for throat]) plus fried Niu Bang Zi, or use Ren Shen Ping Fei San (Ginseng-Lung-Calming Powder). If caused by insufficient body fluids and steaming from deficiency fire, treat with Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Pill [for Kidney]).
Loss of voice caused by toxins returning to the Kidney: The Classics state: The Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridian ascends to tie to the root of the tongue, connects to the transverse bone, and ends at the epiglottis. The epiglottis is the gate of voice; the tongue is the mechanism of voice; the transverse bone is moved by Shen Qi (Spiritual Qi) and controls tongue movement. When smallpox turns black and sinks inward, toxins enter the Kidney. Pathogenic Qi attacks the epiglottis, causing it to fail in opening and closing, preventing sound emission or articulation, leading to sudden aphonia.
Loss of voice caused by ulceration of the throat and tongue: The throat governs respiration, ingestion of food and drink, and sound production, functioning like a pipe or reed. Toxic fire steams upward, affecting the throat first. The positions of the cardia, epiglottis, and tongue become sites of pustule accumulation. If initial treatment and care are inadequate, swelling and blockage of the throat occur, narrowing the airway, stiffening the tongue root, preventing breathing and swallowing, and silencing the voice. These two conditions are difficult to treat.
If loss of voice occurs on the seventh day, during the pus-forming stage of smallpox, it is because pustules have formed in the trachea. Initially small and unnoticed, as cutaneous pustules fill with pus, those in the throat also do so. The heavy toxin load narrows the airway, causing hoarseness. Generally, aphonia before the seventh day is a adverse sign (Ni Zheng); aphonia appearing after the seventh day often resolves spontaneously because external scabbing correlates with internal healing of throat pustules. To prevent this, Gan Jie Tang should be administered before eruption to clear the airway and protect against toxin invasion. This preventive method must not be ignored.
If loss of voice occurs after the scabs fall off (Yan Hou), it is due to residual toxins attacking the throat, causing swelling, pain, dryness, and silence. Treat with Gan Lu Yin (Sweet Dew Drink [for throat]), Gan Jie Fang Feng Tang (Licorice, Platycodon, and Saposhnikovia Decoction [for throat]), Tian Hua San (Trichosanthes Powder), or Xuan Shen Sheng Ma Tang (Scrophularia and Cimicifuga Decoction [for throat]).
