《绍定论》云∶病有似是而非，若同而异者。盖肢体厥冷而腹痛者，此毒瓦斯在里也，若不审谛，必作极冷治之，
反与热药，为害愈深。未冷极者不问有无寒热，肢冷腹痛，必大便自利，蜷卧恶寒，今身热肢冷，腹痛大便不通，
乃热毒在里，热甚则发厥，仲景所谓热深厥亦深也。伏热深而疮疹不出者，宜以蝉蜕末水煎服之，已
出者亦可服，毒瓦斯得泄，则四肢温暖，腹痛自止矣。前人论腹痛有虚实，肠鸣自利而腹痛者为虚痛，是冷也。腹
满而不大便者为实痛，是热也。今腹中痛而不大便、又身热，耳尖冷，脚冷，为疮疹证明矣。又有疮疹始发，腹中
有宿块而痛者，医不能辨，误作食积下之，多夭横矣。〔薛〕前证，痘未出而发热烦躁，或作渴饮冷，大便坚实，此
热毒壅滞也，用疏利之药。
〔万〕凡发热腹中便痛者，此毒瓦斯内攻也，急宜发表疏里，桂枝大黄汤主之。亦有外邪与毒相并，致未尽出而腹疼
胀满者，宜参苏饮去参、苓、加缩砂、陈皮，温而出之。若原无腹痛发热，二三日后大便不通而痛者，此燥屎与毒相并

【娄全善】痘疹腹痛，大多是由痘毒引起，应当根据临床具体情况进行分析判断。【万密斋】《黄帝内经》认为腹痛多属于寒证，只有一个证候属于热证；而疮疹（天花、麻疹等出疹性疾病）的腹痛，都属于毒热所致。医诀说：发热且肚中疼痛，是疮毒在腹内攻冲，痘疹发出较多时要防止透发不畅，发出较少时更要防止发生痈肿。这是正确的。也有兼夹食积的情况。【翁仲仁】痘疹出现腹痛，是因为毒邪郁结在三阴经，脐以上属太阴脾经，正对肚脐处属少阴肾经，小腹部位属厥阴肝经，必须加以区分。腹胀，则是毒邪积聚在肠胃所致，治疗方法都应当采用升发透疹、疏利痘毒的方法，同时分利小便，使毒气上下分消，那么疼痛和胀满自然停止，所以说：“疼痛随着通利而减轻，胀满随着通利而消除。”世俗医生只知道用厚朴来行滞气，却不懂得升发透疹、疏利解毒，这不是正确的治法。也有因乳食停滞不消化而导致腹胀的，应当在升发透疹的药物中加入消食导滞的药剂，所伤的食物，应当辨别其寒热性质。又有数日不大便的，大便通畅后疼痛胀满自然停止，也不可骤然使用芒硝、大黄等泻下药。
定痛散 治疗伤寒引起的肚痛，以及冷气疼痛。

《绍定论》说：疾病有似是而非、看似相同实则不同的情况。肢体厥冷且腹痛的，这是毒气在体内，如果不仔细审察，必定当作极寒证治疗，反而给予热性药物，危害更深。尚未冷到极致的，无论有无寒热表现，只要肢冷腹痛，必然大便自利，蜷缩卧倒，恶寒；如今身热肢冷，腹痛且大便不通，乃是热毒在里，热盛则导致四肢厥逆，即张仲景所说的“热深厥亦深”。伏热深重而疮疹不能发出的，宜用蝉蜕粉末水煎服，已经发出的也可以服用，毒气得以宣泄，则四肢温暖，腹痛自然停止。前人论述腹痛有虚实之分，肠鸣且大便自利的腹痛属于虚痛，是寒证；腹部胀满且不大便的腹痛属于实痛，是热证。如今腹中疼痛且不大便，又身热，耳尖冷，脚冷，这是疮疹病的明证。又有疮疹刚开始发出，腹中有宿块而疼痛的，医生不能辨别，误作食积而下泻，大多会导致夭折横死。【薛己】上述证候，痘疹未出而发热烦躁，或口渴喜冷饮，大便坚实，这是热毒壅滞，应用疏利之药。
【万密斋】凡是发热且腹中便痛的，这是毒气内攻，急宜发表疏里，主方用桂枝大黄汤。也有外邪与毒邪相并，导致痘疹未尽出而腹部疼痛胀满的，宜用参苏饮去掉人参、茯苓，加入缩砂、陈皮，温服以透发外出。如果原本没有腹痛发热，两三天后大便不通而疼痛的，这是燥屎与毒邪相并而痛，可选用三黄丸（治热证）、七物升麻丸（治初起发热）、宣风散（治痘疹发热）择一使用。有谵语妄言、狂乱表现的，主方用三乙承气汤（治便秘）。原本无腹痛，或因喝冷水而痛的，这是冷痛，用理中汤（治吐利）加桂心。或因多吃东西而痛的，这是食积痛，轻则用木香大安丸（治伤食），重则用备急丸（治伤食）、丁香脾积丸（治伤食），用原物汤送下。原本无腹痛，自利之后才痛的，这是虚痛，用黄芪建中汤加木香、青皮。发热且自利，又腹痛的，这也是毒邪所致，用黄芩汤（治吐利）加木香、青皮，或用化毒汤主方。如疮疹乍出乍隐，这是毒邪伏留，用七物升麻丸。疮疹出尽的，再用紫草饮（治出不快）大发其毒。疮疹不出者，不要治疗。【张景岳】痘疹未出，先出现腹痛或腹中有块的，这是腹中先出痘，不可投用疏利之药，以免戕害胃气，只给与和平匀气兼发散的药物，如升麻汤、参苏饮之类。
蝉蜕一物汤
用蝉蜕二十一个，洗去泥土，研为末，用水一盏，慢火煎至半盏，去渣，根据患儿大小温服。如果觉得疮疹已出，便按前述方法再服三五次，如果不是疮疹，也无害处。小儿疮疹欲发出，加甘草一钱五分，煎至一盏，缓缓喂服，屡见疗效。小儿伏热蕴积热毒，蝉蜕味咸寒可以制约，况且有暴感风邪化热，客于体表的，蝉蜕也能治疗，风毒充塞皮肤，瘙痒不止，惊痫夜啼，癫疾，寒热惊悸，都适宜服用。
桂枝大黄汤
桂枝、白芍药（各二钱半）、甘草（五分）、大黄（一钱半）。
上药切碎。加生姜一片，水一盏半，煎至一盏，去渣温服，饭前服用。

（汪某）一女患伤寒，仅腹痛剧烈，日夜啼哭，手足厥冷，逐渐危及生命。此时正值痘灾时节，我怀疑或许是痘症，于是取生猪血，急忙用脑麝调和灌服，一服后入睡，片刻后痘疹发出而平安，若非此方，则必夭折。
【万密斋】痘疹已出而腹痛，也是毒气在里未曾透发，也宜用桂枝大黄汤。起发不透且腹痛的，是陷伏证，也宜用三乙承气汤（治便秘）及宣风散（治痘发热）。【薛己】痘疹已出，但不热躁，不饮冷，大便不实，这是元气虚弱，用白术散之类补益。
【张景岳】出痘不快且腹痛的，用活血散（即一味白芍药，见出不快条）以姜汤调服。若毒气弥漫，阳毒入胃，便血日夜无度，腹痛啼哭的，主方用牛黄散。又有一类将成内溃之证而腹痛的，应当预防，通常在发病七日内发生内溃，这是因为风寒侵袭，腠理固密，阴阳二气壅塞不通，毒邪内攻，脏腑之间毒火炽盛，以致胃烂溃而成脓，口舌皆白，是其征象。此证极为惨毒，有经验者知道在痘毒未出之时，若有风寒阻隔，气粗热甚，身体战动，腹部呕吐急疼的，是欲成内溃之兆，急用和解汤、升麻汤（治初热）逐散寒邪，开泄腠理，纵容毒邪外出，方可避免此证，若证已成，治疗也已来不及了。
牛黄散 治疗疮疹阳毒入胃，便血日夜无度，腹痛啼哭。

如果身体不甚热，或时而发寒，或呕吐，六脉虚细，四肢逆冷而腹痛的，陈氏木香散主方（治痘泻利）。腹痛面青，而手足冷的，是脾胃虚寒证，宜用益黄散、理中汤之类主方。理中汤加白芍药、桂枝。
以上三条，是以温药治疗寒痛的范例。若作渴饮水汤，手足并冷的，适宜使用。
【娄全善】曾治疗痘疹刚发出即腹痛，或身痛，脉洪数的，用解表凉药加芍药、甘草，逐渐痊愈。
按：解表凉药，即升麻汤、连翘升麻汤、双解散之类，加用的药物加倍使用。
上一条，是以凉药治疗热痛的范例。若作渴饮冷，手足并热的，适宜使用。
如疮已出，到了收靥期原本无腹痛，忽然作痛，这必有饮食因素，需仔细询问，曾因饮冷水的，主方用五苓散，或用黄芪建中汤加白术、干姜、人参。曾伤食的，问伤何种食物，主方用丁香脾积丸，用原物汤送下。【张景岳】伤食腹痛，不可用巴豆、大黄等药，只宜用平胃助气之剂，如平胃散、小异功散、橘皮汤（治吐逆）皆可。【薛己】嗳腐吞酸，大便秽臭，是乳食停滞，用保和丸消导（治伤食）。
[Lou] Abdominal pain in variola (smallpox) is mostly caused by the variola toxin; clinical judgment should be exercised. [Wan] According to *Huangdi Neijing* (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine), abdominal pain generally belongs to Cold, with only one pattern belonging to Heat. However, abdominal pain in exanthematous diseases (such as smallpox and measles) all belongs to Toxin-Heat. The medical aphorism states: "Fever accompanied by abdominal pain indicates the toxin attacking within the abdomen; if the eruption is profuse, prevent incomplete resolution; if sparse, further fear abscess formation." This is correct. There may also be concurrent food stagnation. [Weng] Abdominal pain in exanthematous diseases arises from toxin depression in the Three Yin channels: above the umbilicus belongs to Taiyin Spleen channel, directly at the umbilicus belongs to Shaoyin Kidney channel, and the lower abdomen belongs to Jueyin Liver channel; these must be distinguished. Abdominal distension indicates toxin accumulation in the intestines and stomach. The treatment method for both should involve raising and venting to resolve the toxin, combined with promoting urination to allow the toxic qi to dissipate upward and downward, thereby stopping pain and distension naturally. Hence it is said: "Pain decreases with purgation/diuresis, distension dissipates with unblocking." Empirical physicians merely use Houpo (Magnolia Bark) to move stagnant Qi without understanding the need to raise and vent to resolve the toxin; this is incorrect treatment. There are also cases of abdominal distension due to milk or food stagnation and indigestion; in such cases, digestive-resolving agents should be added to the raising-and-venting formulas. The ingested food must be assessed for Cold or Heat. In cases of constipation for several days, once bowel movement resumes, pain and distension cease spontaneously; one should not abruptly use Xiaoshi (Mirabilite) or Dahuang (Rhubarb).
Dingtong San (Pain-Calming Powder) treats abdominal pain from Taiyang Cold Damage and cold-Qi pain.
Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizome) (each 1 qian); Shanzha (Crataegus Fruit) (2 qian); Liangjiang (Galangal Rhizome), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Gancao (Licorice Root) (each 5 fen).
Take the above ingredients, add 3 slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) and 2 dates, decoct in water, and take warm. If extremities are cold, add Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root) 2 fen.
Guizhi Shaoyao Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Peony Decoction) treats abdominal pain.
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Zhigancao (Prepared Licorice Root) (each 1 qian); Baishaoyao (White Peony Root) (wine-fried, 2 qian).
Add 3 slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) and 2 dates, decoct in water, and take.
Huanglian Tang (Coptis Decoction) treats abdominal pain caused by Heat-Toxin in the Stomach, sometimes with nausea. This formula regulates the ascending and descending of Yin and Yang.
Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), Zhigancao (Prepared Licorice Root), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) (each 2 qian); Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Renshen (Ginseng Root) (each 8 fen).
Add 2 dates, decoct in water, and take.
Yiwei Yigong San (Single-Ingredient Yi Gong Powder) treats various types of convulsive disorders in children, such as opisthotonos and protrusion of the chest, diaphragm, and umbilicus. Use transparent Moyao (Myrrh) ground into powder, taken with Ginger Water.
*Shaoding Lun* states: Diseases can appear similar yet be different. Limb coldness with abdominal pain indicates toxin in the interior. Without careful examination, treating it as extreme Cold and administering Hot medicines will deepen the harm. If not extremely cold, regardless of presence or absence of Cold/Heat signs, limb coldness with abdominal pain implies spontaneous diarrhea, curling up, and aversion to cold. However, current symptoms of fever, limb coldness, abdominal pain, and constipation indicate Heat-Toxin in the interior. Extreme Heat leads to厥 (Jue/cold extremities), as Zhang Zhongjing stated: "The deeper the Heat, the deeper the Jue." When latent Heat is deep and exanthems fail to erupt, Chanui (Cicada Slough) powder decocted in water should be used; it can also be used after eruption. Once the toxic qi is released, limbs become warm, and abdominal pain stops. Predecessors discussed deficiency and excess in abdominal pain: borborygmus with spontaneous diarrhea indicates Deficiency Pain (Cold); abdominal fullness with constipation indicates Excess Pain (Heat). Current symptoms of abdominal pain, constipation, fever, cold ear tips, and cold feet clearly indicate an exanthematous disease. Additionally, when exanthems first appear, abdominal pain with a palpable mass may be misdiagnosed as food stagnation and treated with purgatives, often leading to premature death. [Xue] Regarding the aforementioned conditions, fever and irritability before eruption, thirst with preference for cold drinks, and firm stool indicate Heat-Toxin obstruction; use draining and resolving medicines.
[Wan] Fever accompanied immediately by abdominal pain indicates internal attack by toxic qi; urgently release the exterior and drain the interior using Guizhi Dahuang Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Rhubarb Decoction). If external pathogens combine with toxins, preventing complete eruption and causing abdominal pain and distension, use Shenru Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Drink) removing Renshen (Ginseng) and Fuling (Poria), adding Suansha (Amomum Fruit) and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel), taken warm to vent outward. If there was originally no abdominal pain or fever, but constipation and pain develop after two or three days, this is dry feces combining with toxins; choose from Sanhuang Wan (Three-Yellow Pill - Heat), Qiwu Shengma Wan (Seven-Ingredient Cimicifuga Pill - Initial Heat), or Xuanfeng San (Vent Wind Powder - Varicella Fever). For delirium and mania, use Sanyi Chengqi Tang (Three-Yield Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction - Constipation). Originally no abdominal pain, but pain induced by drinking cold water indicates Cold Pain; use Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction - Vomiting/Diarrhea) plus Guixin (Cinnamon Bark). Pain induced by overeating indicates Food Stagnation Pain; mild cases use Muxiang Da'an Wan (Aucklandia Great Peace Pill - Food Injury), severe cases use Beijie Wan (Emergency Relief Pill - Food Injury) or Dingxiang Pi Ji Wan (Clove Spleen Accumulation Pill - Food Injury), taken with the original food's broth. Originally no abdominal pain, but pain following spontaneous diarrhea indicates Deficiency Pain; use Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (Astragalus Building-the-Middle Decoction) plus Muxiang (Aucklandia Root) and Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel). Fever with spontaneous diarrhea and abdominal pain also indicates toxin; use Huangqin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction - Vomiting/Diarrhea) plus Muxiang and Qingpi, or Huadu Tang (Resolve Toxin Decoction). If eruptions appear and disappear intermittently, indicating latent toxin, use Qiwu Shengma Wan. If eruptions are complete, use Zicao Yin (Arnebia Drink - Slow Eruption) to vigorously vent. If eruptions do not appear, do not treat. [Zhang] Before eruption, if abdominal pain or a mass appears first, this is "abdominal eruption"; do not use draining medicines to damage Stomach Qi. Instead, use harmonious Qi-regulating and dispersing formulas like Shengma Tang (Cimicifuga Decoction) or Shenru Yin.
Chanui Yi Wu Tang (Single-Ingredient Cicada Slough Decoction)
Use 21 Chanui (Cicada Slough), wash off mud, grind to powder. Add 1 liang of water, simmer slowly until half remains, strain, and take warm according to child's size. If eruptions have appeared, continue taking 3-5 doses; even if not exanthems, it is harmless. For children whose exanthems desire to erupt, add Gancao (Licorice Root) 1.5 qian, decoct to 1 liang, administer gradually; this has proven effective repeatedly. Chanui is salty and cold, capable of restraining latent heat-toxin accumulation in children. It also treats wind-heat invading the exterior, skin itching due to wind-toxin, night crying from fright/epilepsy, mania, alternating chills/fever, and palpitations.
Guizhi Dahuang Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Rhubarb Decoction)
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Baishaoyao (White Peony Root) (each 2.5 qian); Gancao (Licorice Root) (5 fen); Dahuang (Rhubarb Root) (1.5 qian).
Chop finely. Add 1 slice of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), 1.5 liang of water, decoct to 1 liang, strain, and take warm before meals.
Guizhi Shaoyao Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Peony Decoction)
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Baishaoyao (White Peony Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Huangqi (Astragalus Root - prepared), Gancao (Licorice Root) (equal parts).
Chop finely. Add 2 dates, 1 liang of water, decoct to 0.7 liang, strain, and take warm.
Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (Astragalus Building-the-Middle Decoction)
Huangqi (Astragalus Root), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Baishaoyao (White Peony Root), Gancao (Licorice Root) (equal parts).
Chop finely. Add 3 slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), 2 dates, 1 liang of water, decoct to 0.5 liang, strain, and take warm.
Huadu Tang (Resolve Toxin Decoction)
Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) (5 fen); Baishaoyao (White Peony Root), Gancao (Licorice Root) (each 1 qian); Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel), Muxiang (Aucklandia Root), Zhike (Bitter Orange Fruit) (each 7 fen); Shan zha Rou (Crataegus Flesh), Lianqiao (Forsythia Fruit) (each 5 fen).
Chop finely. Add 1 liang of water, decoct to 0.7 liang, strain, and take warm at any time.
(Wang) A girl suffered from Taiyang Cold Damage with severe abdominal pain, crying day and night, and cold extremities, approaching critical condition. Suspecting varicella due to the epidemic season, I took raw pig blood, mixed with Nao (Brain) and Shexiang (Musk), and administered it urgently. After one dose, she slept; shortly after, eruptions appeared, and she recovered. Without this remedy, she would have died prematurely.
[Wan] Abdominal pain after eruption indicates toxin remaining in the interior without full resolution; Guizhi Dahuang Tang is also appropriate. Pain due to incomplete elevation indicates sinking/latent toxin; use Sanyi Chengqi Tang (Constipation) and Xuanfeng San (Varicella Fever). [Xue] After eruption, if there is no fever/restlessness, no desire for cold drinks, and loose stools, this indicates Yuanqi (Primal Qi) deficiency; tonify with Baizhu San (Atractylodes Powder).
[Zhang] Pain with slow eruption: use Huoxue San (Invigorate Blood Powder, i.e., single ingredient Baishaoyao) taken with Ginger Water. If toxin spreads diffusely, Yang-Toxin enters the Stomach, causing continuous bloody stool day and night with abdominal pain and crying, use Niuhuang San (Calculus Bovis Powder). Another type involves impending internal ulceration with abdominal pain; prevention is key. Internal ulceration usually occurs within seven days due to Wind-Cold invasion, dense pores, and blockage of Yin/Yang Qi, causing internal toxin attack and fierce fire in organs, leading to gastric rot and pus formation, with white coating on mouth/tongue as evidence. This condition is extremely severe. Experienced practitioners know that before eruption, if Wind-Cold blocks, with coarse breathing, high fever, body tremors, and acute abdominal/vomiting pain, internal ulceration is imminent. Urgently use Hejie Tang (Harmonize Decoction) or Shengma Tang (Initial Heat) to scatter Cold, open pores, and vent toxin. If the condition develops, treatment is futile.
Niuhuang San (Calculus Bovis Powder) treats Yang-Toxin entering Stomach in exanthems, continuous bloody stool, abdominal pain, and crying.
Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis) (1 fen); Yujin (Curcuma Tuber) (1 liang).
Grind to fine powder. Take 0.5 qian per dose, decoct with 0.5 liang of Jiangshui (Fermented Rice Water) to 0.3 liang, take warm with dregs. Adjust dosage based on child's size; twice daily.

[Dan] Wu Dianzi had varicella with abdominal pain.

Take as one dose.
If body heat is not high, or intermittent chills, vomiting, weak/fine pulse, cold extremities with abdominal pain: Chen's Muxiang San (Varicella Diarrhea). Abdominal pain with blue face and cold hands/feet indicates Spleen/Stomach Deficiency-Cold; use Yihuang San (Yellow-Protecting Powder) or Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle). Lizhong Tang plus Baishaoyao (White Peony Root) and Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig).
The above three items are examples of treating Cold Pain with Warm medicines. Suitable for thirst with desire for hot drinks and cold extremities.
[Lou] I once treated abdominal pain or body pain upon initial eruption with a rapid, surging pulse, using Exterior-Resolving Cool medicines plus Shaoyao (Peony) and Gancao (Licorice), resulting in gradual improvement.
Note: Exterior-Resolving Cool medicines refer to Shengma Tang (Cimicifuga Decoction), Lianqiao Shengma Tang (Forsythia and Cimicifuga Decoction), Shuangjie San (Double-Resolution Powder), etc., with doubled dosages of added herbs.
This item is an example of treating Heat Pain with Cool medicines. Suitable for thirst with desire for cold drinks and hot extremities.
If eruptions have reached the crusting stage and were previously painless but suddenly become painful, dietary factors are likely. Investigate carefully: if caused by cold water, use Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder) or Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (Astragalus Building-the-Middle Decoction) plus Baizhu (Atractylodes), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Renshen (Ginseng). If caused by food injury, identify the food and use Dingxiang Pi Ji Wan (Clove Spleen Accumulation Pill) taken with the original food's broth. [Zhang] For food-stagnation abdominal pain, do not use Baidu (Croton Seed) or Dahuang (Rhubarb); use Pingwei San (Peace the Stomach Powder), Xiao Yigong San (Minor Yi-Gong Powder), or Jupi Tang (Tangerine Peel Decoction - Vomiting). [Xue] Belching with sour regurgitation and foul stool indicates milk/food stagnation; use Baohe Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill) to resolve (Food Injury).
If food injury occurs after crusting, leading to fever-induced convulsions, vomiting, and abdominal pain, see the Convulsion section. Post-crusting heat predominance, hard black stool, and abdominal pain indicate Blood Stasis; use Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction).
If during fever there is heart/abdominal colic, restlessness, screaming, sunken eruptions, distension/pain, or panting, this is malignant toxic Qi attacking intestines/stomach and burning organs; it is incurable.
