痘里夹瘿生颈项，形如桃李瓜枣状，证兼身热多渴烦，痰气凝结致此恙。
【注】此证结于颈项，或生耳后腋下，形如桃李枣瓜，身热烦渴，由痰气凝结所致。痘
初起即发瘿者，治宜托里、消痰、解毒，如木通、桔梗、生地、甘草、蝉蜕、芍药、荆
芥等药，缺一不可；若芩连等药，及耗烁之剂，俱不可用。若痘发在三四日而作瘿者，则
毒随痘泄，毒随痘灌，自可挽全而无害，宜服三消散。倘斯时红肿将脓一溃，则元气泄，
而痘浆必不能充灌；乘未溃时，急用黄 卫元汤补之。若痘至七八日，灌浆时而发瘿者，
冲和饮子主之。若痘疮苍蜡色而作瘿者，宜消毒兼保元气；溃后宜生肌玉红膏贴之。

生肌玉红膏（见溃疡门）
Diphtheria-like nodules (Ying, 瘿) appearing within smallpox lesions occur on the neck and nape, resembling the shape of peaches, plums, melons, or dates. The presentation includes fever, excessive thirst, and irritability, caused by the condensation of phlegm and Qi stagnation.
[Note] This condition manifests as nodules in the neck region, or behind the ears and in the axillae, with shapes resembling peaches, plums, dates, or melons, accompanied by fever, irritability, and thirst. It is caused by the condensation of phlegm and Qi stagnation. If nodules appear at the initial stage of smallpox, treatment should focus on supporting the interior (Tuo Li, 托里), resolving phlegm, and detoxifying. Herbs such as Tong Cao (Akebiae Caulis), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Chan Tui (Cicadae Periostracum), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), and Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Herba) are indicated; none of these can be omitted. Decoctions containing Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) and Lian Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), as well as formulas that consume Yin fluids, must not be used. If nodules develop three to four days after the onset of smallpox, the pathogenic toxin will be excreted along with the eruption and resolved as the pustules fill, naturally preserving life without harm; San Xiao San (Three-Reduction Powder) is appropriate. However, if redness and swelling are about to suppurate and ulcerate at this time, vital Qi will leak, and the pus in the smallpox lesions will fail to fill adequately. Before ulceration occurs, use Huang Qi Wei Yuan Tang (Astragalus Defense-Yuan Decoction) urgently to tonify. If nodules appear during the seven-to-eight-day stage when pustules are filling, Chong He Yin Zi (Harmonizing Decoction) is the primary formula. If the smallpox lesions present with a pale waxy color accompanied by nodules, detoxification combined with protecting vital Qi is suitable; after ulceration, Sheng Ji Yu Hong Gao (Vital-Flesh Jade-Red Ointment) should be applied externally.
