如才发一二日间,痘便一齐涌出者,须问其曾数日前有热否,如曾数日前乍热
乍凉,以过期论。惟原未发热,至今才热便斑现,此表气虚,毒瓦斯盛,荣热卫弱,
腠理不密,肌肉不坚,不能约束于外,使毒瓦斯冲击,故出太骤也。宜用实表之剂,可
以无痒塌,无溃烂。实表解毒汤主之。一方,用羌活散调紫草膏,或保婴丹加紫
草、牛蒡子、蝉蜕与服。热盛不退,以羌活散调退火丹进之,另用灯草、木通、
蝉蜕、地骨皮煎汤候冷服。此用发表之剂,与表虚卫弱之说背驰,盖亦有初发热
时见表证失于解散,实热壅遏而怒发者,此法犹可施也,然得全者,鲜矣。

羌活散(本门初热) 保婴丹(本门预防) 退火丹(即六一散加牛黄缠豆藤见初热)
如果痘疹在刚发出的一两天内就一齐涌出,必须询问患者在几天前是否有过发热。如果确实曾在几天前出现忽冷忽热的症状,应按病程已过期的情况来论治。只有那些原本没有发热,直到今天才发热且痘斑随即显现的,属于表气虚弱、毒邪炽盛,营分热盛而卫分虚弱,腠理(皮肤纹理及汗孔)不致密,肌肉不坚实,不能约束于外,导致毒邪冲击,所以出得太急促。适宜使用固护体表的方剂,可以避免瘙痒塌陷和溃烂。以实表解毒汤为主方。另一方案,用羌活散调服紫草膏,或者用保婴丹加入紫草、牛蒡子、蝉蜕一起服用。如果热势亢盛不退,用羌活散调服退火丹送下,另外用灯心草、木通、蝉蜕、地骨皮煎汤,待冷却后服用。这里使用的是发表(发散表邪)的方剂,这与前面所说的“表虚卫弱”的理论相违背,大概是因为在刚开始发热时,见到表证却未能及时解散,导致实热壅滞郁遏而猛烈爆发,这种情况下这种方法还可以施用,然而能痊愈的人很少了。

If the smallpox lesions erupt all at once within one or two days of onset, it is necessary to inquire whether the patient had a fever several days prior. If there was indeed intermittent fever (alternating hot and cold) several days ago, the condition should be evaluated as having passed its expected timeline. However, if the patient originally had no fever, and only developed a fever today with the simultaneous appearance of macules/papules, this indicates deficiency of Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) at the exterior, excessive pathogenic toxins, heat in Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi), weakness of Wei Qi, loose interstices (skin pores and tissue spaces), and flaccid muscles that fail to constrain the exterior. This allows the toxins to surge outward, causing the eruption to be too rapid. It is appropriate to use formulas that consolidate the exterior; this can prevent itching, sinking, and ulceration. The primary prescription is Shibiao Jiedu Tang (Consolidate-Exterior and Detoxify Decoction). Another regimen involves using Qianghuo San (Notopterygium Powder) mixed with Zicao Gao (Arnebia Ointment), or Baoying Dan (Infant Protection Pill) supplemented with Zicao (Arnebiae Radix seu Cortex), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), and Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum). If the heat remains severe and unsubsided, Qianghuo San is used to mix and administer Tuohuo Dan (Clear-Fire Pill); additionally, Dengcao (Junci Medulla), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum), and Digupi (Lycii Cortex) are decocted in water, cooled, and administered. The use of diaphoretic (exterior-releasing) formulas here contradicts the theory of "exterior deficiency and weak Wei Qi." This approach is likely applicable when, during the initial fever stage, exterior signs were present but not properly resolved, leading to an accumulation of excess heat that erupted violently. In such cases, this method may still be applied, though few patients recover fully.
Shibiao Jiedu Tang (Consolidate-Exterior and Detoxify Decoction)

Crush these ingredients into fine pieces. Add a small amount of Bohe Ye (Menthae Haplocalycis Folium) and ten slices of Danzhuye (Lophatheri Herba). Decoct in water and take warm, at any time.

Qingdi Tuohuo Tang (Clear-Earth and Clear-Fire Decoction)
Indicated for smallpox erupting with heat, termed "Fire Seedling" (Huoli Miao). Use this formula urgently to clear the heat, thereby preventing subsequent cyanosis, blackening, or sinking manifestations.

Add one slice of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). Decoct in water and take orally. If the heat does not subside, take another dose. Alternatively, grind into powder and take with Dengxin Tang (Junci Medulla Decoction).
