风寒客肺杏苏先，痰热凉膈白虎煎，泄泻声微参术剂，倒靥作喘归茸痊。
[注]
五藏之气皆统于肺，若为邪干，则肺气窒塞，气道不利，故发为喘也，
实者声粗有力而长，虚者声微无力而短，
痘初发热，以至既出之后或喷嚏频频，或鼻流清水，
此风寒客肺而喘也，杏苏饮主之，
有食热痰积，上冲作喘者，此火炎肺金也，宜凉膈白虎汤治之，
泄泻后元气下陷，此脾气不足而喘也，人参白术散主之，
有痘浆灌至半足，忽倒靥而喘者，此中气大亏也，参归鹿茸汤主之。

痘中杂证
For asthma caused by wind-cold invading the Lung, Xing Su Yin (Apricot and Perilla Decoction) should be used first; for asthma caused by phlegm-heat accumulation, Liang Ge Bai Hu Tang (Cool the Diaphragm and White Tiger Decoction) is indicated. For asthma with a weak voice following diarrhea, Ren Shen Bai Zhu San (Ginseng and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is prescribed; for asthma accompanied by inverted pustules in smallpox, Shen Gui Lu Rong Tang (Ginseng, Angelica, and Deer Antler Decoction) cures it.
[Note]
The Qi of the Five Zang Organs is governed by the Lung. If disturbed by pathogenic factors, Lung Qi becomes obstructed, and the airway is not smooth, thus leading to asthma.
In excess patterns, the breathing sound is coarse, forceful, and long; in deficiency patterns, the breathing sound is weak, powerless, and short.
At the initial fever stage of smallpox, or after the eruption has occurred, if frequent sneezing or clear nasal discharge occurs,
this is asthma due to wind-cold lodging in the Lung, treated primarily with Xing Su Yin.
If food stagnation, heat, and phlegm accumulate and rush upward causing asthma, this indicates Fire insulting Metal (the Lung); Liang Ge Bai Hu Tang is suitable for treatment.
After diarrhea, when Yuan Qi sinks downward, this is asthma due to Spleen Qi deficiency, treated primarily with Ren Shen Bai Zhu San.
In cases where smallpox pus fills up to half the feet, followed suddenly by inverted pustules and asthma, this indicates severe depletion of Middle Qi; Shen Gui Lu Rong Tang is the primary prescription.
