If cold qi enters the stomach, it may transform into dysentery, or present as a desire to pass tenesmus with red and white mucus frequently, accompanied by severe lower abdominal pain, high fever, and a surging (Hong) or rapid pulse. After taking this prescription, the fever subsides, and the dysentery also heals. It is also indicated for cases presenting only with high fever without vomiting or diarrhea.
