类惊者何?所以别于急慢惊风也。类惊本无此名,本书亦非欲特创此名,增添诸惊之治法。所以然者,
为便于分统系以资归纳计耳。急慢惊风,既各有其特殊之治法,而小儿以神经之怯弱不易镇静,虽小恙亦辄现
惊象,其状似惊而实非惊风者。固尚有种种,若一一列其名而举之,则治法至繁杂无取,若归于急慢惊
风一类中,则治法究尚有差别,故统于惊风一章而别为类惊一节,庶几纲张目举,统系既合,检查亦易也。
兹将小儿病之易作惊风之状者,逐一述其证治如下∶
一、因热成惊
小儿腠理未固,感冒风寒,便易发热。初起之时,邪易入易出,轻加发散,即可无事,甚者虽频作惊惕,
睡中惊醒,固为热重使然,并非惊风所致。故治法宜发表解肌,清热安神,用宣化
汤最妥。兼有他因,则宜从其他因合治之。
二、因痰成惊
小儿感冒风寒,肺气失宣,痰浊阻滞,最易蒸热。因痰热之交病,小儿往往咳嗽惊惕,发热面红,考其主
因为风寒入肺,治宜宣肺祛邪。又因痰气不降,治宜化痰降气。初起之时,辛湿疏透,最为合度。化热之后,
辛凉消化,亦属正治。大便坚者,可下则酌下之,小便赤者,可利则酌利之,方用宣化祛痰汤最妥。
兼有他因,亦宜从其他因合治之。
三、因食成惊
小儿恣意口腹,食积不化,亦易成惊。盖肠胃通畅,则清气
可升而浊气下行,自无熏蒸成热之弊。若食积不化,肠胃不清,
则浊气阻塞,郁而化热,肺胃受其熏灼,精神为之不宁,惊惕之状遂见。其证腹多胀满或痛,大便或坚结不
行,或泻多渣滓。舌苔黄腻,脉象紧实,治宜宣化消积汤。最忌因循迟延,盖小儿食积,热郁肠胃,易成
疳积,伤胃则致吐,伤肠则致泻,最轻者亦熏灼成惊,不可不慎也。兼有他因,亦宜从其他因合治之。
四、因暑成惊
小儿感受暑热,郁而不化,亦易成惊。暑邪之浅者,无汗身热,宜从汗解之,用宣化清暑汤最妥。暑
邪之深者,发热口渴,多汗欲饮,胸膈闷烦,精神倦怠者宜白虎汤。体弱湿重者,宜清暑益气汤。切不可因
天时炎热,恣与冷冻饮料,盖小儿饮冷,肠胃益薄,受暑更易也。兼有他因,亦宜从其他因合治之。
五、因恐成惊
小儿肝胆不足,凡耳闻骤声,目见骤色,辄易因恐成惊。睡时惊惕,甚则啼叫,轻者酌与抚拍翻拿,其
惊自已。盖本非疾病,不过因神气之怯弱,临时振荡不宁故也。神定即愈,无庸顾忌。重者因有内蓄之热,
遂乘势以发动,惊搐啼哭,有类惊风,治宜宣化定惊汤最妥。偏于实者,身热便结哭声壮,宜保赤散;
偏于虚者,神气怯弱哭声缓,宜茯神汤。兼有他因,亦宜从其他因合治之(参看第三章第七节)。
六、因吐泻成惊
上节言吐泻日久,易成惊风,然非尽吐泻皆可以成惊风也。若以吐泻之后,神气不宁,偶有似惊之状,
遂作惊风治之,则愈治愈危,误人不浅矣。考小儿肠胃,至为柔弱,稍有积滞,伤其胃气则致吐,伤其肠腑则
致泻,或吐或泻,当其剧作之时,神气不宁,惊状遂起,然此等类惊,决无角弓反张之象,亦无眼目痉
睨之状(或睡卧略露其睛,瞳子略为上泛则有之),故与惊风迥
别。治法则吐者宜调其胃气,泻者宜调其腑气,吐泻兼作者,肠胃并调之,不必治其惊,但治其本病则惊亦
已,用宣化健运汤加减治之最妥。至于有因吐泻而肢冷挛急者,罗瘪麻木者,则为寒霍乱证,其势急而且危,
宜急用附子理中汤救之,与寻常之吐泻又迥异者也。兼有他因,亦宜从其他因合治之(参看第七章)。

What is "Lei Jing" (Similar-to-Convulsion)? It is used to distinguish it from Ji Jing Feng (Acute Convulsive Disorder) and Man Jing Feng (Chronic Convulsive Disorder). Lei Jing originally had no such name; this book does not intend to create a new term merely to add treatment methods for various convulsions. The reason for doing so is to facilitate classification and systematic induction. Since Ji Jing Feng and Man Jing Feng each have their specific treatment methods, and because children have fragile nervous systems that are difficult to calm, they often exhibit signs of convulsion even with minor ailments. These conditions may resemble convulsions but are actually not Jing Feng. There are many such variations. If listed one by one, the treatment methods would become overly complex and unnecessary; if grouped under Ji Jing or Man Jing Feng, there would still be differences in treatment. Therefore, these cases are unified under the chapter on Jing Feng but separated into a distinct section called "Lei Jing," ensuring that the framework is clear, the system is coherent, and examination is easy. The following describes the symptoms and treatments of pediatric conditions prone to presenting as similar-to-convulsion states:
1. Convulsion Caused by Heat
Children have unconsolidated Cou Li (skin pores and interstices); upon contracting wind-cold, they easily develop fever. In the early stage, pathogens can easily enter and exit; mild dispersing agents suffice to resolve the issue. In severe cases, frequent jing ti (startle/fright) and waking up startled during sleep occur due to intense heat, not because of Jing Feng. Thus, the treatment should focus on Fa Biao Jie Ji (releasing the exterior and resolving the muscle layer), clearing heat, and calming the spirit. Xuan Hua Tang is most appropriate. If other etiologies are present, they should be treated concurrently.
2. Convulsion Caused by Phlegm
When children contract wind-cold, Lung Qi fails to diffuse, leading to phlegm-turbidity obstruction, which easily generates steaming heat. Due to the interaction of phlegm and heat, children often cough, experience jing ti, have fever, and flushed faces. The primary cause is wind-cold invading the Lungs; thus, treatment should involve diffusing the Lungs and expelling pathogens. Additionally, since phlegm-Qi fails to descend, treatment should transform phlegm and direct Qi downward. In the early stage, acrid-warm dispersing methods are most suitable. After heat transformation, acrid-cool methods to resolve heat are correct. For hard stools, purgation may be酌情 (discretionarily) applied; for dark urine, diuresis may be酌情 applied. Xuan Hua Qu Tan Tang is most appropriate. Other concurrent etiologies should also be treated together.
3. Convulsion Caused by Food Stagnation
Indulgence in food leads to undigested food stagnation, which can easily trigger convulsions. When the intestines and stomach are smooth, clear Qi ascends and turbid Qi descends, preventing steaming heat. However, if food stagnates and the intestines and stomach are unclear, turbid Qi blocks and stagnates, transforming into heat. This heat scorches the Lungs and Stomach, disturbing the spirit and causing jing ti. Symptoms include abdominal distension or pain, hard stools or diarrhea with undigested residue, yellow greasy tongue coating, and tight solid pulse. Treatment requires Xuan Hua Xiao Ji Tang. Delay is strictly forbidden because food stagnation with heat in the intestines and stomach easily leads to Gan Ji (Infantile Malnutrition Syndrome). Injury to the Stomach causes vomiting; injury to the Intestines causes diarrhea. Even mild cases can lead to heat-induced convulsions, so caution is essential. Concurrent etiologies should be treated together.
4. Convulsion Caused by Summerheat
Contracting summerheat, which stagnates and fails to dissipate, can easily cause convulsions. For shallow summerheat pathogenesis with no sweat and body heat, resolution through sweating is indicated; Xuan Hua Qing Shu Tang is most appropriate. For deep summerheat pathogenesis with fever, thirst, excessive sweating, desire to drink, chest oppression, irritability, and fatigue, Bai Hu Tang is indicated. For those with weak constitution and heavy dampness, Qing Shu Yi Qi Tang is indicated. One must not arbitrarily give cold beverages due to hot weather, as cold drinks weaken the intestines and stomach, making them more susceptible to summerheat. Concurrent etiologies should be treated together.
5. Convulsion Caused by Fright
Children have insufficient Liver and Gallbladder Qi. Sudden noises or sights easily cause fright-induced convulsions. During sleep, they may startle or cry out. Mild cases can be resolved by patting or handling techniques; the convulsion stops naturally. This is not a disease but a temporary agitation due to spiritual fragility. Once the spirit settles, recovery occurs without worry. Severe cases involve internal accumulated heat that triggers convulsions, tremors, and crying, resembling Jing Feng. Xuan Hua Ding Jing Tang is most appropriate. For excess patterns (body heat, constipation, loud crying), Bao Chi San is indicated. For deficiency patterns (spiritual fragility, soft crying), Fu Shen Tang is indicated. Concurrent etiologies should be treated together (see Chapter 3, Section 7).
6. Convulsion Caused by Vomiting and Diarrhea
The previous section stated that prolonged vomiting and diarrhea can lead to Jing Feng, but not all vomiting and diarrhea result in Jing Feng. If post-vomiting/diarrhea restlessness and slight convulsive-like signs are treated as Jing Feng, the condition worsens, causing significant harm. Children's intestines and stomachs are extremely delicate; slight stagnation injuring Stomach Qi causes vomiting, while injuring Intestinal Fu causes diarrhea. During acute episodes, spiritual unrest leads to convulsive-like signs. However, these Lei Jing cases absolutely lack opisthotonos (arched back) or eye deviation/spasm (though slight eye exposure or upward gaze during sleep may occur), distinguishing them clearly from Jing Feng. Treatment involves regulating Stomach Qi for vomiting and Intestinal Qi for diarrhea; for combined symptoms, regulate both. Treating the root cause resolves the convulsion. Xuan Hua Jian Yun Tang with modifications is most appropriate. Cases with cold limbs, spasms, and numbness indicate Cold Huo Luan (Cholera-like syndrome), which is urgent and critical; Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang should be administered immediately, differing significantly from ordinary vomiting/diarrhea. Concurrent etiologies should be treated together (see Chapter 7).
