钱仲阳云∶小儿正伤寒者，谓感冒寒邪，壮热头痛，鼻塞流涕，畏寒拘急是也。夹惊者，因
惊而又感寒邪，或因伤寒热极生风，是热乘于心，心神易动，故发搐也。用薄荷散、人参羌
活散之类解之，甚者，抱龙丸。夹食者，或先伤于风寒，后复停滞饮食，或先停滞饮食，而
后伤于风寒，以致发热，气粗嗳气，壮热头疼，腹胀作痛，大便酸臭，先用解散，次与消导
；不解者，用大柴胡汤。周岁已前伤寒热轻者，用惺惺散；周岁已后，须解表微汗。若五六
日不除，邪入于经络，传变多端，不可枚举。若夫荣卫俱伤者，羌活冲和汤主之，过此则少
阳、阳明二经，在于半表半里肌肉之间，脉不浮沉。外症在阳明，则目疼鼻干，不得眠，脉
洪而长，以葛根解肌升麻等汤治之。在少阳，则耳聋脉弦数，小柴胡汤加减和之。若少阳阳
明俱病，小柴胡加葛根、芍药，传入阳明，为里脉沉实，谵妄恶热，六七日不大便，口燥咽
干而渴。用大柴胡汤，重则三一承气汤，若兼三焦俱病，则痞满燥实，宜大承气汤。三阳之
邪在里为患，不头痛恶寒而反渴，此为温病，当遵仲景法治之。其余正伤寒症，治自有专方
，不复赘论。其兼惊兼食者，各从本症治之。

Qian Zhongyang stated: "Zheng Shanghan (True Cold Damage) in children refers to contracting cold pathogenic factors, manifesting as high fever, headache, nasal congestion with runny nose, aversion to cold, and physical stiffness." Jia Jing (Accompanying Fright) occurs due to contracting cold after a fright, or because extreme heat from Shanghan generates wind; the heat affects the Heart, causing the Shen (Spirit) to become unstable, leading to convulsions. Treatment involves using Bohe San (Mint Powder) or Renshen Qianghuo San (Ginseng and Nephrolepis Decoction) to resolve the exterior; for severe cases, Baolong Wan (Embrace Dragon Pill) is used. Jia Shi (Accompanying Food Stagnation) occurs either when one first contracts wind-cold and then suffers from food stagnation, or when food stagnation exists first and is followed by wind-cold contraction, resulting in fever, coarse breathing, belching, high fever, headache, abdominal distension and pain, and sour-smelling stools. Initially, use exterior-resolving methods, followed by digestion-promoting methods; if the exterior is not resolved, Da Chai Hu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) is used. For infants under one year old with mild heat in Shanghan, Xingxing San (Sparkling Powder) is used; for those over one year old, exterior resolution with slight sweating is required. If the pathogen persists for five to six days without relief, it enters the meridians, leading to diverse transformations that cannot be exhaustively listed. In cases where both Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi) are injured, Qianghuo Chonghe Tang (Notopterygium Harmonizing Decoction) is the primary treatment. Beyond this stage, the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) and Yangming (Yang Brightness) meridians are involved, located between the exterior and interior within the muscle layer, presenting with pulses that are neither floating nor sinking. Exterior symptoms manifesting in the Yangming meridian include eye pain, dry nose, insomnia, and a洪 (Surging) and long pulse; these are treated with Gegen Jiemi Shengma Tang (Kudzu Root Muscle-Relieving and Cimicifuga Decoction). Manifestations in the Shaoyang meridian include deafness and a弦 (Wiry) rapid pulse, treated with Xiaochai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) with modifications. If both Shaoyang and Yangming meridians are diseased, Xiaochai Hu Tang is modified with Gegen (Kudzu Root) and Shaoyao (Peony Root). When the pathogen transmits into the Yangming interior, presenting with a沉 (Deep) solid pulse, delirium, aversion to heat, constipation for six to seven days, dry mouth, parched throat, and thirst, Da Chai Hu Tang is used. For severe cases, Sanyi Chengqi Tang (Three-One Bowel-Purging Decoction) is indicated. If all three Jiao (Sanjiao/Upper, Middle, Lower Burners) are affected, presenting with fullness, obstruction, dryness, and solidity, Dachengqi Tang (Major Bowel-Purging Decoction) is appropriate. When pathogens of the Three Yang meridians cause internal disorders, characterized by absence of headache and aversion to cold but presence of thirst, this is classified as Wenbing (Warm Disease), and treatment should follow Zhang Zhongjing's methods. Other Zheng Shanghan symptoms have specific formulas, so they will not be reiterated. Cases involving both Jing and Shi should be treated according to their respective primary syndromes.
Clinical Experiences (Scattered across various syndromes)
Baolong Wan: Treats wind-cold epidemic fevers, body heat, coarse breathing, phlegm-solidity obstructing cough, and serves as a daily tonic for calming the Spirit and subduing fright; also treats high fever during smallpox/rash diseases.
Ingredients: Niudan Nanting (Cow Gallbladder Rhizoma Arisaematis, 1 liang), Tianzhu Huang (Calamush Sclerotium), Xionghuang (Realgar), Chensha (Cinnabar, 2 qian), Shexiang (Moschus, a small amount).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into powder, boil Gancao (Licorice Root) juice to form pills the size of cherries, dry in shade. Take one pill per dose with Bohe Tang (Mint Decoction); add Kufan (Alum) if there is wheezing with phlegm.
Commentary: The aforementioned formula is suitable for wind-heat phlegm-cough or acute infantile convulsions with drowsiness and teeth-grinding, where both the constitution and pathogen are excess patterns. If initially exposed to wind-cold with profuse phlegm cough and wheezing, it belongs to exogenous pathogens acting internally; use Shimwei Renshen Suyu Yin (Ten-Ingredient Ginseng and Perilla Infusion) first. Once the exogenous pathogen is resolved, if abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, teeth-grinding, and sleeping with eyes open occur, it indicates Spleen and Lung Qi deficiency; use Wuwei Yigong San (Five-Ingredient Yi Gong Powder). Avoid phlegm-resolving and exterior-releasing drugs. If previous symptoms result from excessive use of draining agents, warming and tonifying the Spleen and Lung is especially indicated.
Hongmian San: Treats wind-cold cough, nasal congestion, or clear rhinorrhea.
