Fever accompanied by aversion to cold and a floating pulse indicates a exterior syndrome, specifically the Taiyang disease (Taiyang Disease). (For formula discussions, see the section on Taiyang Disease.) Fever with sweating, absence of aversion to cold but presence of aversion to heat indicates an interior syndrome, specifically the Yangming disease (Yangming Disease). (For formula discussions, see the section on Spontaneous Sweating in Yangming Disease.) Fever with a wiry and fine pulse, accompanied by headache, indicates a half-exterior half-interior syndrome, specifically the Shaoyang disease (Shaoyang Disease). (For discussion, see the section on Bitter Taste in Mouth and Dry Throat.) Fever with vomiting is treated with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). (For discussion, see the section on Vomiting.) Fever with cough and unresolved exterior syndrome is treated with Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction). If accompanied by hypochondriac pain and a desire to vomit, treat with Xiao Chai Hu Tang plus Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) and Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Fruit). (For formula discussions, see the section on Efficacy.) Fever with panting and unresolved exterior syndrome is treated with Xiao Qing Long Tang minus Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba) plus Xing Ren (Prunus Armeniaca Seed). If accompanied by chest fullness, treat with Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). (For formula discussions, see the section on Panting.) Fever with thirst may belong to either exterior or interior syndromes; there are many treatment methods and formula discussions. (See the section on Thirst.)
If fever resolves with sweating, but after about half a day restlessness recurs with a floating, rapid, and large pulse, another diaphoretic treatment is indicated, preferably Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). (For discussion, see the section on Restlessness; for formula, see above.)
After inducing sweating, if aversion to wind and cold persists, it is due to deficiency. If there is no aversion to cold but only aversion to heat, it is excess; one should harmonize the Stomach Qi, preferably using Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (Regulate the Stomach and Direct Downward Decoction). In Taiyang disease, if after three days and induction of sweating the condition remains unresolved with a steaming fever, the pathogen belongs to the Stomach, and Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang is the primary treatment. (Hai Zang stated: Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) purges excess, Mang Xiao (Natrii Sulfas) softens hardness, and Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) harmonizes the middle; this formula is suitable only when dryness, excess, and hardness symptoms are all present.)
Formula for Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (Regulate the Stomach and Direct Downward Decoction):
Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (1 liang. Hai Zang stated: It is suitable to soak in wine, because the pathogenic factor is located high, and only wine can reach it. Just as objects at high peaks are unreachable by footprints and must be shot down, so wine is used to guide the medicine upward. If used raw, its bitter drainage is too severe, leaving the heat of the high pathogen behind, which may result in red eyes, throat closure, or head swelling after recovery, causing heat syndromes in the diaphragm region.) Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (0.5 liang, roasted. Hai Zang stated: Sweetness relieves urgency.) Mang Xiao (Natrii Sulfas) (9 qian. Hai Zang stated: Pungency moistens, saltiness softens.)
Chop the ingredients. Add one sheng of water, boil Da Huang and Gan Cao until reduced to 0.7 sheng, strain, add Mang Xiao, and boil briefly over fire until boiling. Take warm.
Fever with sweating that does not resolve, accompanied by epigastric fullness and hardness, vomiting, and diarrhea, is treated with Da Chai Hu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction). (For discussion, see the section on Fullness.) After inducing sweating, if the body becomes burning hot, pulse is floating, sweating occurs, the body feels heavy with excessive sleepiness, and snoring is present, it is Feng Wen (Wind-Warmth). (For discussion, see the section on Wind-Heat.) After inducing sweating, if fever persists, accompanied by palpitations, dizziness, tremors of the body, and a sensation of trembling collapse, Zhen Wu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) is indicated. (For discussion, see the section on Diarrhea.) If sweating does not stop the fever, with internal cramping, limb pain, diarrhea, and cold limbs with aversion to cold, Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) is indicated. (For discussion, see the section on Diarrhea.) Profuse sweating with surging pulses in all positions that do not resolve leads to death. (For discussion, see the General Principles. The *Nei Jing* states: In Warm diseases, if sweating is thorough but fever returns with a rapid and restless pulse that does not subside with sweating, accompanied by delirium and inability to eat, it is called Yin-Yang Intersection, which is fatal.)
In Taiyang disease, if initial sweating fails to resolve the condition and purgation is subsequently applied, a floating pulse indicates non-resolution. A floating pulse indicates the pathogen is still exterior; applying purgation erroneously causes non-resolution. Since the pulse is now floating, we know the pathogen is still exterior; resolving the exterior will lead to recovery, primarily using Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). After sweating and purgation, if headache and fever persist, along with epigastric fullness and difficulty urinating, Gui Zhi Qu Gui Jia Fu Ling Bai Zhu Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction minus Cinnamon Twig plus Poria and Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) is used. (For discussion, see the section on Chest Binding.) After severe purgation, if body heat persists and there is knotted pain in the heart region, Zhi Zi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction) is the primary treatment. (For discussion, see the section on Heart Pain.) After severe purgation, if body heat persists with slight restlessness, Zhi Zi Gan Jiang Tang (Gardenia and Roasted Ginger Decoction) is used. (For formula discussion, see the section on Restlessness.)
In Yangming disease, after purgation, if there is external heat, warm hands and feet, mental restlessness (Ao Nu), hunger but inability to eat, and only sweating on the head, Zhi Zi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction) is used. (For discussion, see the section on Restlessness.)
In Taiyang disease, aversion to cold is expected. If now there is spontaneous sweating, no aversion to cold or fever, and a fine, rapid pulse at the Guan position, it is due to the physician's error in using emesis. If emesis is used on days 1-2, the patient feels hungry in the abdomen but cannot eat. If used on days 3-4, the patient dislikes congee, desires cold food, and vomits what was eaten in the morning by evening; this is caused by the physician's erroneous emesis and is termed a minor deviation.
If fever recurs after recovery, use Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). If the pulse is floating, resolve via sweating; if sinking, resolve via purgation. (For discussion, see the section on Labor Recurrence.)
In Shang Han (Cold Damage), a floating and slippery pulse indicates heat in the exterior and cold in the interior, treated with Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction).
Formula for Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction):
Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) (3 liang) Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (1 liang, roasted) Jing Mi (Oryza Sativa Grain) (3 he) Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (8 liang, crushed)
Chop the ingredients. For each dose of 5 qian, decoct in water and take warm.
A floating and slow pulse with exterior heat and interior cold, accompanied by diarrhea with undigested food, is treated with Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction). (For discussion, see the section on Diarrhea.) Diarrhea with cold limbs and sweating that does not stop the fever is treated with Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction).
In Shao Yin disease, diarrhea with undigested food, cold limbs, interior cold with exterior heat, is treated with Tong Mai Si Ni Tang (Pulse-Resuscitating Frigid Extremities Decoction). (For formula discussion, see the section on Diarrhea.) Body heat with cold hands and feet and a deficient pulse, occurring in summer, is Zhong Shu (Heat Stroke). (For discussion, see the section on Heat Stroke.)
In Shang Han, if the exterior syndrome is unresolved, accompanied by dry retching, fever, cough, and diarrhea, use Xiao Qing Long Tang minus Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba) plus Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos). (For discussion, see the section on Cough.) In combined Taiyang and Yangming disease, diarrhea is inevitable; symptoms include headache, backache, body heat, dry nose, and a large, long, floating pulse; Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) is indicated. (For discussion, see the section on Combined Diseases.) Fever with diarrhea, a faint and slow pulse, and cold limbs are treated with Tong Mai Si Ni Tang (Pulse-Resuscitating Frigid Extremities Decoction). In combined Taiyang and Shaoyang disease, spontaneous diarrhea occurs; symptoms include headache, chest fullness, alternating chills and fever, and a large, wiry, floating pulse; Huang Qin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction) is indicated. (For discussion, see the section on Combined Diseases.)
Diarrhea with undigested food, a deep and slow pulse, facial redness, slight heat, and cold limbs indicate impending Yu Mao (Depression and Dizziness); sweating will naturally resolve it.
Fever with diarrhea, cold limbs, restlessness, and inability to lie down indicates death. Fever with diarrhea and unceasing sweating indicates death. (Both discussions are found in the section on Diarrhea.)
Fever with vomiting and diarrhea, and epigastric fullness and hardness, is treated with Da Chai Hu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction); if thirsty, use Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria); if not thirsty, use Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction). (Discussions are found in the sections on Fullness and Vomiting/Diarrhea.)
Fever occurring while menstruation has just started or stopped is treated with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) and needling of Qi Men (LR14). (For discussion, see the section on Delirium and Malaria-like Symptoms.) Fever with a rapid pulse, ability to digest food quickly, and constipation indicates Blood Stasis (Yu Xue), treated with Di Dang Tang (Di Dang Decoction). (For discussion, see the section on Blood Accumulation.)
