At the initial stage of Wind-Warmth (Fengwen), the patient presents with a red face, dry mouth and tongue, fever, and confused spirit. There is nasal flaring, excessive sleepiness, muteness, and anorexia. This indicates that Wind-Heat has ascended and clouded the clear orifices. It is appropriate to use Zhe Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Sangye (Mori Folium), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), Shashen (Glehniae Radix), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), Xian Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Guang Yujin (Curcumae Radix), and Qing Zhuye (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia) to disperse Wind and clear Heat.

When Wind combines with Warmth, it transforms into "Zhuang Huo" (excessive fire), which consumes Qi and inevitably damages Lung Metal (the Lung organ). Therefore, at the onset, one observes facial redness, stifled qi sensation, and snoring breath. If Heat invades the Shaoyin channel, confusion and somnolence occur, resembling Zhang Zhongjing's description of the Shaoyin syndrome characterized by "desire to sleep." The muteness and lack of appetite are caused by Wind-Heat mixing and disturbing, thereby obscuring the Clear Yang. In children, this condition is more severe because their constitution is purely Yang, making them prone to attracting Wind. Thus, Sangye and Bohe are used to disperse Wind pathogens, while Xingren, Yuzhu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma), Shashen, Maidong, and Zhimu are used to clear Warmth and Heat. The key lies in preventing the transmission of the disease.

In Wind-Warmth, symptoms such as sore throat, coma, irritability, red eyes, crimson tongue, scarlatiniform rash, and a rapid yet indistinct pulse indicate internal closure due to Wind-Heat. It is appropriate to use Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) added with Lingyangjiao (Saiga Antelope Horn), Xian Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis), Yuanshenxin (Scrophulariae Radix heart), Liaoqiaoxin (Forsythiae Flos heart), Xian Changpu, Yinhuajin (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), Jinzhi (Gold Water), Bohe, Chanyi (Bombyx Batryticatus), and Niuhuang Wan (Calculus Bovis Pill) to clear both the exterior and interior.

Confusion, a crimson tongue, and a rapid, indistinct pulse signify that Heat pathogens are pressing inward, obscuring the spiritual clarity. Coupled with sore throat, rash, and restlessness, the danger of internal closure is extreme. If convulsions and cold limbs (Jue) occur, the situation becomes difficult to manage. Therefore, Xijiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu) and Lingyangjiao are used to clear Heat from the Ying (Nutrient) level and collaterals; Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) and Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex) nourish Blood and clear Blood Heat; Liaoqiao, Yuanshen, Maidong, and Shihu nourish Stomach fluids; Yinhuajin and Jinzhi detoxify; Bohe and Chanyi dispel Wind; combined with the aromatic orifice-opening properties of Changpu and Niuhuang Wan, this allows for the dual clearing and resolving of Qi and Blood in both the interior and exterior, turning danger into safety.

One or two days after the onset of Wind-Warmth, if the spirit becomes clear, speech returns, the tongue coating turns yellow, thirst appears, and there is vexatious heat with a surging pulse, this indicates that Warmth pathogens are steaming internally. It is appropriate to use Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) added with Shashen, Maidong, Xingren, Xian Yuzhu, Xian Shihu, and Liaoqiao to clear Qi and vent pathogens.

Initially, confusion and slurred speech resemble Stroke. However, after one or two days, if the patient becomes clear-headed and able to speak, it indicates that Wind pathogens are being expelled outward, rather than being a case of Zhong Jue (Stroke-Cold Limb). If thirst, yellow tongue coating, blazing heat, and a surging pulse persist, it means Warmth-Heat is blazing internally, and the pathogen remains in the Qi level. It is advisable to use Baihu Tang combined with Xingren, Yuzhu, Shihu, Liaoqiao, Shashen, and Maidong. These herbs are predominantly sweet and cold in nature, effectively clearing Heat in the Qi level of the Yangming channel.
