产妇在患麻疹后出现乳汁枯竭。这是由于心火炽盛,煎熬耗竭了津液之泉。此时唯有将养血作为紧急任务,切勿使用峻猛的药物来堵塞乳源。
乳汁是由津液转化而成。妇女产后,因失血过多,再加上麻疹火热之邪的煎熬,导致血液枯涸、津液干竭,所以乳汁枯竭。应当通过养血来滋养生化之源,切不可妄用峻补的药物,以免堵塞涌泉般的源头。适宜使用四物汤(见二十五条)加入木通为主进行治疗。
遍身浮肿是什么原因造成的?只因为麻疹之后气血虚弱。婴儿和闺秀中从未有过这种情况,而老人和妇人这种症状较多。
麻疹后遍身浮肿,儿童很少有此症状,只有老人和妇人多有此候。大概是因为老人气血本来亏损,加上麻疹火热耗伤血液,导致出疹之后,遍身浮肿。适宜使用四物汤(见二十五条)合四君子汤(见七十二条),去掉白术,加入薏苡仁、甜葶苈来治疗。如果妇人在麻疹后遍身浮肿,必定是因为在初热期、正出或已出疹之间,恰好遇到月经来潮,阴血再次大量耗损,所以在麻疹后遍身浮肿。如果没有余热和大便闭结等症状,则应当使用养荣汤或四物汤(见二十五条),或者四君子汤(见七十二条),都多加甜葶苈来治疗。
养荣汤:治疗脾肺气虚,营血不足,惊悸健忘,盗汗发热,食欲不振无味,身体疲倦肌肉消瘦。
人参、白术(土炒)、黄芪(蜜炒)、炙甘草、陈皮(去白)、桂心、当归(各一钱)、熟地黄、五味子(蜜炒,此味宜去除)、白茯苓(各七分)、远志肉(五分)、白芍药,以生姜、大枣为引,水煎服。
麻疹后的余邪最容易造成祸殃,多次出现危重证候非常糟糕。时行疠气相互传染,如同疫鬼勾魂前往北邙山。
麻疹出尽才能得安宁,邪气未尽时症未平复。微微烦热说明邪气尚且炽盛,频频呕吐说明毒邪仍在蒸腾。
麻疹在欲出未出之时,宜尽早发散,以解除其毒邪,就不会有余邪成为后患。如果不知道在初期解毒,致使麻疹出尽,导致毒邪停蓄于体内,没有不造成祸殃的。有的表现为壮热,日久身体枯瘦憔悴;有的表现为惊痫;有的表现为泄泻;有的咳嗽急促、咳血、气喘急迫;有的呕吐浓脓,从而形成肺痈;有的发展为疳积而死。这虽然是一时疠气感染,彼此相传所致,但没有不是由于人事处理不当造成的。从事这一行业的人,只要见到先出疹子的,有为余邪引发的,死而不治,那么后来刚发病的,就应早早为之预先解毒,使无余邪为害,而不致于夭折,这才称得上良医。但凡麻疹,只要出得尽,毒邪就能解除,正气就能平和。如果在麻疹正在收敛之际,仍然微微烦热不宁,像蛇在灰中、像蚯蚓在尘土中的状态,或者呕吐、或者泄泻,这是毒邪壅遏,尚未完全透发出来的缘故。对于烦热的,使用古方黄连解毒汤(见三十五条)加麦冬、生地黄、地骨皮、牛蒡子、赤茯苓治疗。对于呕吐的,使用柴胡橘皮汤去掉人参、半夏,加入枇杷叶、木通治疗。倘若确实麻疹未出尽,用苎麻蘸酒,或蘸胡荽酒擦拭皮肤,待麻疹出尽,则烦热自然消除,呕吐泄泻自然停止。如麻疹收没后,只发热而无其他症状的,使用加减清肌汤加黄连治疗。如麻疹后有余毒未尽,而发壮热的,使用古方黄连解毒汤(见三十五条)加生地黄、鲜地骨皮、木通、枳壳主治。如麻疹后身热不退的,使用柴胡四物汤(见三十条)去掉人参、白芍、川芎,加入酒炒黄连,或者使用生地骨皮汤(见三十条)加黄连治疗。如麻疹后余毒未清,余热未尽的,使用十仙汤加地骨皮,或者连翘清毒饮去掉赤芍、桔梗、甘草,加入黄连、黄芩、地骨皮、生地黄治疗。如麻疹后余毒未清,留滞肺经,导致吐痰如黄脓的,乃成肺痈的症状,使用桑连散治疗。如果不愈,使用百部汤治疗。倘若仍不完全痊愈,使用花蕊石丸治疗,并配合白芨研末,用猪肺切薄片蒸熟,蘸白芨末食用。如果使用这几方不愈,则形成肺痿,适宜使用紫菀汤治疗。

Postpartum women may experience dryness of breast milk after suffering from measles. This is due to excessive Heart Fire (Heart Fire) scorching and depleting the source of body fluids (Jin Ye). The urgent task at this time is solely to nourish the blood; one must not administer harsh medications that would obstruct the source of lactation.
Breast milk is formed from body fluids. After childbirth, women have lost a significant amount of blood. Coupled with the scorching effect of measles fire, the blood becomes depleted and body fluids dry up, resulting in the exhaustion of breast milk. It is appropriate to nourish the blood to nourish the source of generation and transformation. One must absolutely avoid recklessly using harsh tonifying medicines, which would block the source like a surging spring. It is suitable to use Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) [see Article 25] added with Mutong (Akebia Caulis) as the main treatment.
What causes generalized edema? It is solely because Qi and Blood are weak after measles. This condition is never seen in infants or young noblewomen, but is common among the elderly and women.
Generalized edema after measles is rare in children, occurring mostly in the elderly and women. This is likely because the elderly inherently suffer from Qi and Blood deficiency. Combined with the consumption of blood by measles fire, generalized edema occurs after the eruption of the rash. It is suitable to treat with Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) [see Article 25] combined with Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) [see Article 72], removing Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and adding Yiyiren (Coicis Semen) and Tiantingli (Semen Lepidii). If a woman suffers from generalized edema after measles, it is certainly because during the initial fever stage, while the rash was emerging or had just emerged, her menstruation occurred simultaneously, causing a heavy loss of Yin Blood. Thus, generalized edema appears after measles. If there are no signs of residual heat or constipation, one should use Yangrong Tang (Nourishing the Vigor Decoction) or Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) [see Article 25], or Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) [see Article 72], all with a large addition of Tiantingli for treatment.
Yangrong Tang: Treats Spleen and Lung Qi Deficiency, insufficient Ying and Blood, palpitations, forgetfulness, night sweats, fever, poor appetite, lack of taste, physical fatigue, and emaciation.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, stir-fried with soil), Huangqi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried), Zhigancao (Prepared Licorice Root), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, white part removed), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 1 qian), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus, honey-fried, this ingredient should be removed), Bai Fuling (Poria, each 0.7 qian), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, 0.5 qian), Baishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), with Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) and Zao (Jujubae Fructus) as guides. Decoct in water and take orally.
Residual pathogens after measles are most prone to cause disaster, presenting repeatedly with severe conditions, which is very dire. Seasonal pestilential Qi spreads through infection, like epidemic ghosts taking souls to Beimang Mountain.
Only when measles are fully erupted does peace arrive; if pathogens are not exhausted, symptoms remain unresolved. Slight irritability and heat indicate pathogens are still vigorous; frequent vomiting indicates toxins are still steaming.
When measles are about to erupt but have not yet done so, it is advisable to disperse them early to resolve their toxicity, preventing residual pathogens from becoming future disasters. If one fails to resolve toxicity in the initial stage, allowing measles to fully erupt, toxins will accumulate internally, inevitably causing harm. This may manifest as high fever leading to chronic wasting, convulsions and epilepsy, diarrhea, rapid coughing with hemoptysis and asthma, vomiting of thick pus leading to Lung Abscess (Fei Yong), or death from infantile malnutrition (Gan Syndrome). Although this is caused by the transmission of seasonal pestilential Qi between individuals, it invariably results from inadequate human management. Practitioners of this field should note: if they see an earlier case die from residual pathogen manifestation without treatment, they must proactively resolve toxicity for subsequent new cases early on, preventing residual pathogens from causing harm and premature death. Only then can they be called skilled physicians. Generally, for measles, if they are fully erupted, toxicity is resolved, and Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) becomes harmonious. However, if during the resolution phase of measles, slight irritability and restlessness persist, resembling a snake in ashes or an earthworm in dust, accompanied by vomiting or diarrhea, this indicates toxin pathogens are stagnant and have not fully exteriorized. For irritability and heat, use the ancient formula Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxins) [see Article 35] added with Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Digupi (Lycii Cortex), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), and Chifuling (Poria with Red Coir). For vomiting, use Chaihu Jupi Tang (Bupleurum and Tangerine Peel Decoction) removing Renshen (Ginseng Radix) and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), added with Pipaye (Eriobotryae Folium) and Mutong (Akebia Caulis). If indeed measles have not fully erupted, rub the skin with Ramie stem dipped in wine, or Huisu (Coriandri Herba) wine. Once measles are fully erupted, irritability will naturally cease, and vomiting/diarrhea will stop. If after measles resolution there is only fever without other symptoms, use Jiajian Qingji Tang (Modified Clearing Muscle Decoction) added with Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma). If residual toxins remain after measles causing high fever, use the ancient formula Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxins) [see Article 35] added with Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Xian Digupi (Fresh Lycii Cortex), Mutong (Akebia Caulis), and Zhike (Aurantii Fructus). If fever persists after measles, use Chaihu Siwu Tang (Bupleurum Four Substance Decoction) [see Article 30] removing Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Baishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), and Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), added with Jiuhuanglian (Honey-fried Coptidis Rhizoma), or Shengdi Gupi Tang (Rehmannia and Lycii Cortex Decoction) [see Article 30] added with Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma). If residual toxins are not cleared and residual heat remains after measles, use Shixian Tang (Ten Immortals Decoction) added with Digupi (Lycii Cortex), or Lianqiao Qingdu Yin (Forsythia Toxin-Clearing Drink) removing Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), and Gancao (Licorice Root), added with Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Digupi (Lycii Cortex), and Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix). If residual toxins after measles remain unclear and stagnate in the Lung Meridian, causing expectoration of yellow purulent sputum, it constitutes Lung Abscess (Fei Yong). Treat with Sanglian San (Mulberry Bark and Coptis Powder). If ineffective, use Baibu Tang (Stemona Decoction). If still not fully cured, use Huaruishi Wan (Flower Manganese Stone Pills), and additionally use Baiji (Bletillae Rhizoma) powder. Steam sliced pig lung until cooked, dip in Baiji powder, and eat. If these formulas fail, it becomes Lung Flaccidity (Fei Wei). Treat with Ziwan Tang (Asterae Decoction).
