According to the *Douzhen Fang* (Treatise on Smallpox and Measles): Before the eruption of smallpox or measles, if the heat is excessive and there is a fear of inducing convulsions, accompanied by difficult urination, Daochi San (Coptis Decoction) should be used for mild resolution. If heat enters the Bladder, presenting with symptoms similar to bloody strangury, Xijiao Tang (Rhinoceros Horn Decoction) is indicated. If the eruption is slow and the urine is dark red, Shengsheng San (Holy Efficacy Powder) is used. During the period after eruption but before recovery, Baizhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) or Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction) with Mutong (Akebia Stem) may be added. After the scabs fall off, if difficult urination is accompanied by irritability, fever, and thirst, Zhuling Tang (Poria Decoction) is prescribed. I believe that these preceding symptoms should be differentiated by etiology: if it is heat accumulation in the Small Intestine, use Daochi San; if there is heat in the Liver channel, use Chaihu Maimendong Tang (Bupleurum and Ophiopogon Decoction); if there is heat in the Spleen channel, use Xijiao Tang; if there is heat in the Lung channel, use Shengdihuang Tang (Rehmannia Decoction); if there is heat in the Kidney channel, use Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill). After the scabs fall off, if Qi and Blood are deficient, use Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction); if Middle Qi is deficient, use Wuwei Yigong San (Five-Ingredient Extraordinary Merit Powder).
Case 1: A child presented with difficult urination, sores in the mouth and tongue, and dry thirst. After administering Daochi San and Jiawei Siwu Tang (Modified Four Substances Decoction), the pustules erupted and filled with pus. Subsequently, treatment with Baizhu San from which Muxiang (Costus Root) was removed led to recovery.
Case 2: Another child presented with complete urinary retention, mouth and tongue resembling erosion, thirst, flushed face, and a rapid pulse at the left Chi position. This was diagnosed as heat accumulation in the Bladder. Wulin San (Five Strangury Powder) was administered first, resulting in free urination. The child was then cured using Dihuang Qingfei Yin (Rehmannia Lung-Clearing Infusion) and Shen Sixian San (Ginseng Six-Holy Powder).
Case 3: A third child presented with frequent but incomplete urination, flushed face, thirst, and hot feet. This was attributed to congenital Yin deficiency. Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) and Zishen Wan (Kidney-Nourishing Pill) were decocted and taken over four doses, leading to recovery. Later, the ingredients of Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) were supplemented with Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), resulting in full recovery.
Case 4: A child nearing recovery from smallpox developed difficult urination. After taking Wuling San and similar formulas, urination decreased further, accompanied by wheezing, coughing, and expectoration. This indicated secondary injury to the Spleen and Lungs. Two doses of Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Middle-Boosting Qi-Enhancing Decoction) were given to deliver Zishen Wan. Subsequently, the combination of Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Wuwei Yigong San led to recovery.
